And here are the results.

While the internationally acclaimed Harry Potter series has a timeless quality that will continue to attract readers for years to come, there was a group that experienced the wizarding phenomenon as it evolved. The Harry Potter Generation pre-ordered upcoming novels months in advance, counted days until teaser movie trailer releases and waited in endless lines for ridiculous lengths at ludicrous times of day and night to get ahold of the next book, film or related merchandise. This generation will forever be young at heart, but as is the case with muggles and wizards alike, it had to grow up eventually. The group has made this transition into the adult world and has brought the magic with it. Here is the proof.


1. Harry Potter Adult Coloring Books

.

For the child in all of us.

2. Harry Potter baby names

According to Muggle Net, the UK saw three baby Siriuses in 2005, four in 2010, three Dracos in 2011 and three named Bellatrix in 2013. The trend is also growing with middle names ranging from Hermione to Albus.

3. Harry Potter World

The children who grew up with Harry Potter are now engineers, architects, inventors and innovators. These great minds are the ones who brought the wizarding world to life in Universal Studios.

4. Harry Potter tattoos

What began as temporary tattooed scars on our foreheads slowly evolved into real ink as the lessons and memories that came with the series merited permanent placement.

5. Harry Potter art

Thanks to the artists of the HP generation, the images in our imaginations have become real.

6. Harry Potter weddings

Because nothing says eternal love like the unbreakable vow... or bond. The bond of marriage is OK too.

7. Harry Potter illustrated editions

No one can deny, we all love a good picture book.

8. Harry Potter home decor

A person's home reflects the kind of person they are... are you a muggle or a wizard?

9. Harry Potter conspiracy theories and revelations

Because only those who have years of knowledge and the time that accompanies age could come up with some of the ideas on Tumblr.

10. Harry Potter alcoholic beverages

Talk about Liquid Death. No underage wizards allowed.


In the words of Albus Dumbledore, "All magic leaves traces." The magic the Harry Potter generation experienced lives on, as does the series that shaped our childhoods, even after all this time.

Always.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
