You Might be a Harry Potter fan if....






You might be a Harry Potter fan if...

(this ones for you Brittany and Bob!)

You park your broom in the garage.

You fear that your unopened mail will start yelling its contents for everyone to hear before bursting into flames.

You camp out with 10 friends and bring one pup tent.

You've looked at Ticketmaster for the Weird Sisters' next tour.

You think basketball would be much more exciting with three hoops on each end.

You call your husband and ask him to be your secret keeper.


You chat up the snakes in your local zoo's reptile room.

Your bumper sticker reads "My other ride is a hippogriff."

You start spouting technical specs as soon as you turn down the broom aisle at Wal-Mart.

When a man on the broom aisle opens his mouth as if to ask you something, you say "Sorry, I'm not ready to buy yet. I'm just looking today."

You've written to your elected official arguing in favor of a three coin monetary system.

You yell "protego!" when someone throws something at you.

You carry a pink umbrella, rain or shine.

You've contributed money to Arthur Weasley's Minister of Magic campaign.

You've ever suspected someone of carrying their wand in their back pocket one time too many.

You've thrown away a souvenir snow globe because it brought back too many painful memories of Sirius and the hall of prophecy.

You've gotten lost and started examining your scars for help.

You've asked a salesperson about the core material of a conductor's baton.

You know which species of bird quill you prefer as a writing instrument.

You check to see if any of your potions ingredients are low before going shopping.

You melt a pot during a cooking experiment gone wrong and pass it off as a thin bottomed import.

You lie awake nights trying to think of a thirteenth use for dragon's blood.

You know what form your patronus takes.

You know how to tell time on a 12 handed watch. You've ever threatened to "do a Weasley". One or more of your sports stories ends with you narrowly escaping muggles in a helicopter.

Your cat is in Slytherin, and your dog is in Hufflepuff.

You add "Troll" to the list of languages you speak.

You've ordered a Kwikspell course.

You now gaze suspiciously at all out-of-business department stores.

You attribute all episodes of forgetfulness to a bad run-in with a memory charm.

You're tempted to contact Disney animators to "set the record straight" on what mermaids really look like.


You check the walls of train stations for secret entrances.

You've put all your children through a sorting ceremony.

You tut and sigh and say "hasn't anyone read Hogwarts: A History" when somebody gets a fact about anything wrong.

You suffer clinical depression when a character dies.

You go to King's Cross on September 1st and a tiny part of you truly expects to see a large group of children in robes with trunks.

When you say "Alohamora" under your breath when unlocking your car with the remote!

Thank you annie, I thoroughly enjoyed it!! Ha-ha. I do suffer clinical depression when a character dies. And from now on I'm going to start saying "Alohamora" under my breath when unlocking my car with the remote!

Will you tell Ryan to send me any pics he has taken of Tate on his camera. I'm trying to scrapbook and I want to make sure I have all the pics. Thanks. How did you not know I was born on Friday the 13th?

Life must be so rough for a squibb living in a wizard world. Hang in there, you'll find your way. Maybe I can teach you a spell or two, but I wouldn't want you to misuse wizardly power.
