1.) I secretly give all of my professors Harry Potter names.
For example, if I truly dislike one of them they immediately become known as Umbridge or Voldemort. So far this semester I already have a Professor nicknamed Lupin, McGonagall, Petunia, Dumbledore, Trewlany, and Bellatrix. To any of my professors reading this, have fun trying to figure out which one is you. ;)
2.) When I turn on my iPhone flashlight I whisper, “Lumos.”
Also, when feeling super lazy I contemplate on how much easier life would be if “Accio” or “Point-Me” was real.
3.) I know more about Harry Potter than the American history.
4.) When given a textbook I always write “Property of the Half-Blood Prince” on the inside of the front cover.
5.) I consider the color pink to be evil. (Sorry, HC!)
Honestly though, pink used to be my favorite color until the arrival of Dolores Umbridge.
6.) I always say (at least) one casual Harry Potter line every day.
If you’re not an HP addict, you’d never catch on. While home with my family I am able to hold an entire conversation (with my siblings) using only Harry Potter lines — it’s a talent we are quite proud of.
7.) I pretend pinky promises are Unbreakable Vows.
8.) When I was in 7th grade, I yelled “Crucio” at a teacher…
… and she made me write lines about how “it’s illegal to use Unforgiveables.” When I realized she understood Harry Potter, she immediately became my favorite teacher.
9.) Diaries are never to be trusted. Ever.
I used a diary until I read the second Harry Potter book and then it was thrown in the trash.
10.) When I’m feeling blue Remus Lupin’s words of wisdom pops into my head: “Eat, you’ll feel better.”
In my opinion (and Lupin’s) chocolate can literally fix anything.
11.) When I was younger I convinced a classmate that I was a far-distant family member of the Weasleys.
She believed me probably only because of my red hair.
12.) I accept the fact that Harry Potter will never leave my heart.
I grew up with Harry and it will forever be a part of who I am.
