The Funniest Harry Potter Memes of the Week (June 13, 2023)

When I first read the Harry Potter series, my favorite character was unquestionably Remus Lupin. It was such a relief to finally get a Defense Against The Dark Arts professor that wasn’t evil or incompetent but instead had a furry little problem and an important connection to Harry’s dad. He’s a great character and my …

The Funniest Harry Potter Memes of the Week (June 6, 2023)

Fleur Delacour was a Harry Potter character that always made me laugh, not because she was funny, but because J.K Rowling thought it would be a good idea to write her lines phonetically with a French accent. I know that the Harry Potter books are made for children who might not understand that a character’s …

The Funniest Harry Potter Memes of the Week (May 30, 2023)

I don’t know if there’s a Harry Potter meme more pervasive than «HARRY, DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?» The meme first circulated on Tumblr, which we all know is the breeding ground for all the best fandom-related memes. For those of you who are unfamiliar, I’ll give you a crash …

The Best Harry Potter Memes of the Week (May 23, 2023)

The Harry Potter fandom was different before the movies came out. There was a unique stretch of time between 1997 and 2001 where nobody, and I mean nobody, knew how to pronounce Hermione’s name. In hindsight, it’s kind of difficult to believe that so few kids asked their parents how to pronounce the name of …

The Best Harry Potter Memes of the Week (May 16, 2023)

The way the Harry Potter fandom uses the term «muggles» confuses me. Sometimes, they use the word in the same way as the book does to refer to non-magical persons who are not a part of the wizarding community (making them different from squibs). I don’t have a problem with that usage of the term. …

The Best Harry Potter Memes of the Week (May 9, 2023)

I miss the era of the Harry Potter fandom when everyone was roasting J.K. Rowling for mostly benign reasons. When she told the world that Dumbledore was gay, that seemed like a progressive move at the time. Ten years after that revelation, she made it canon that Voldemort’s snake Nagini was actually a Korean lady …

People Discuss Strange Inconsistencies in the Harry Potter Universe

Harry Potter fans love to praise the worldbuilding of the Wizarding World, and I understand why. Harry Potter is often the first prolonged series of books young readers will consume that takes place in a complex alternate universe. Because of this nostalgia, the worldbuilding gets a bit overhyped by fans who don’t wish to see …

The Best Harry Potter Memes of the Week (May 2, 2023)

Some Harry Potter movies are a lot easier to rewatch than others. I’ve probably only watched both of the Deathly Hallows movies twice in my life, while I’ve watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban more than I can count. I suppose it’s easier to rewatch the movies that make Hogwarts feel like a …

Good morning Potterheads! It’s innocuous days like today that really make me think about how Dudley Dursley is doing as an adult. Of course, I know Dudley Dursley isn’t a real person, but there are thousands of kids just like him all over the world who are all grown up now. Kids who cried if …

A Random Act of Curated Memes

Time is weird. Five minutes doesn’t sound, outwardly, like a lot of time. But it can pass in wildly different ways. Five minutes at the DMV, or waiting for 5 o’clock to roll around, can feel like an eternity. The same goes for waiting in line for a drink at a crowded bar. But five …
