You Know You Are A True Potterhead When...

You struggle being just a muggle.

You Know You Are A True Potterhead When...
Tammy Trout

As kids we all grew up having a thing. The '90s kids were blessed with being able to grow reading and watching Harry Potter go from a simple story about a boy who lived to a billion dollar idea that now involves 8 fantastic movies, an interactive website, a theme park in two states, and a fan base that grows every second. I read my first Harry Potter book in the first grade and it changed my life. I am a Potterhead. Take a peek into what that actually means and you may realize you're one, too!

1. You can quote almost every line in any movie. And sometimes you break into dialogue and act out the part for absolutely no reason.

2. You have a special place in your room dedicated to the display of all eight movies and all seven perfectly written books.

3. You have been to Harry Potter World more than once and still make plans to go back every year. August 1, 2016 be ready for me, I am returning.

4. You are either on or seriously debating being on your college’s quidditch team. Yes this is actually a real thing. Did anyone else notice that they were playing it in the background in "Pitch Perfect" while Becca is looking at all the clubs?

5. You cannot refrain from pointing out the actors from any of the movies in other movies or TV shows. You actually think you are sly when you lean over and say, "Hey, they're from 'HP.'"

6. You do not miss Harry Potter weekend on ABC Family. The really great thing about these weekend is that they are the uncut versions of the movie and this is the only way you get to see those extras that should have stayed in the original movie.

7. You have had at least one Harry Potter birthday party. It is okay if your 22nd birthday was Harry Potter themed, there is no shame.

8. You have a wand, somewhere; it may be hidden because someone could steal it. Or you could also have it on display. This is a personal preference thing.

9. You have articles of clothing and you wear them. Whether that be a cute top with a quote or some Gryffindor stripped socks under your jeans, you've got to have something.

10. You hear any music from any soundtrack and you know exactly which part it goes to in the movie. The skill this requires should be commended.

11. You get into heated debates about what should have been in the movies from the books and how they messed some super important facts up that you felt were vital. Its so easy to yourself worked up and start ranting about it.

12. You have the soundtracks for the movies on your Spotify account, and you listen to it. I do so while studying, I find it soothing.

13. Your roommates don’t let you pick on movie night anymore because they always know what you are going to choose.

14. You have adopted the Wizarding World vocabulary into your everyday vocabulary. Muggles everywhere.

15. The word, “always” makes your heart clench. Boys take note. This is how you get to a female Potterhead’s heart.

16. You still follow the lives of all the actors and you love seeing what they are doing now, even if you call them by their HP names instead of their real ones.

17. You have named something you own after Harry Potter. Example: I have a black Honda CRV, therefore I call him Serious Black. Clever, yes I know.

18. You have a Pinterest page dedicated directly to your Harry Potter addiction. Yes, it is an addiction. There is no known cure.

19. You think chocolate frogs are a normal candy that should be in the checkout line available for purchase. Why shouldn't you be able to walk into Walmart and leave with a beautifully boxed frog made of milk chocolate?

20. You are still waiting for your Hogwarts letter to arrive. The owl just got lost, it will come. One day, right?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
