10 Craziest Things All Harry Potter Fans Do

Harry Potter is not just a series of books or a movie saga. HARRY POTTER is a legend and each one of us; the fans swear by it with every inch of our being that is.
Joanne Kathleen Rowling just did not pen down the most mesmerizing magical world of Harry Potter, but she created an alternate universe for me and people alike. We belong to the Harry Potter era, we belong to a decade where we prayed in unity for Harry Potter series to never end and go on forever.
Alas, nothing continues forever, however, everything that gets through our skin stays for life and how!
As a true fan of the legendary series and swearing by it too, here's an amazing list of 10 things that every Harry Potter crazy fan has done once in their life (maybe they will keep doing it too).
1. Reenacted an entire scene from the book or movie
Don't even lie, it's a ritual that every fan follows now and then. It's like a second nature for HP fans. They might be doing anything in this whole wide world, but there'll be this moment and they'll go crazy enacting a scene or two... It's okay, we feel you. Like, totally!
2. Mentally sorted yourself/ people into Hogwarts house
"He's just too mean to be real, must be a Slytherin!", we all had this one moment happening in our life. Our life is too connected with Harry Potter to be true and we just cannot get enough of it even today. Before Pottermore existed, all we had was our vivid imagination and let's just accept all of us have sorted ourselves or the people we knew into Hogwarts Houses. Oh,yeah!
3. Writing or reading HP Fan-Fiction
*Awakward Silence* We completely understand that Jo had given us a lifetime of happiness by writing Harry Potter and there's nothing that beats her writing skills. But, well, all of us have shipped some or the other character (like crazy AU's and OTT's). Most shipped couple would be Draco and Hermione (Dramione) - BEAT THAT! Here, we just said that and proud about it too!
4. Got Inked or considering the same
Tattoos or getting inked is the most "personal" aspect of an individual's thought process. Getting inked for life is definitely not an easy decision, but, well it's HP Fandom we are talking about and us fans will go to any length to prove our fandom (not the world but our self, yes.). Every HP fan has either got inked for life or they are giving it a serious thought. There is no in-between for sure.
5. Debating about Snape and Dumbledore
Snape and Dumbledore till date stands to be the most debatable characters and in fact most loved characters from the series too. Whether it was about Dumbledore being a homosexual or Snape's intention always being to best of Harry's interest, every fan had once in their life or still indulges in huge debates about them. Every god damn character is important after all. We fans swear by it too.
6. Naming your Pet or favourite thing after HP character
No matter how bizarre it sounds, but it's true. Just because 'The boy who lived' was a mere fiction character to the world, the huge fandom of us fans, did not let be bogged down by any of it at all. It never will either.
7. Spent way too much time on Pottermore
Potter series was one thing, fans went head over heels when Jo decided to come with an entire magical website for all of us (teary eyed). Accept it or not but a true potter fan has just spent way too much time on Pottermore than required (well , it never was about requirement... was it?). Potion making kept you glued and all the friends that you made are yours to safeguard for life. Is it not true?
8. Treating wand like objects like real wands
Every Harry Potter fan has done this adorably-stupid thing once in their life at least, some of us probably still do it secretly given there is real HP merchandise easily available in the market. We totally get you. Them feels!
9. Writing yourself a Hogwarts Welcome Letter
Every single Harry Potter fan has wished to receive their Hogwarts welcome letter and we wait for it till date. "Hogwarts will always welcome you." is the most heartwarming line for us fans and there's nothing more comforting than reading the self-written letter or perhaps the Pottermore welcome letter. *jumping up and down with joy*
10. Counting the number of times you have read the 7 books or the 8 movies in the series
Eccentric
as it might seem to be, it's not madness at all for the true fans of Harry
Potter.
Why?
Because, well it is Harry GODDAMNWHATTHEHELLWELOVEIT Potter. Um, yeah!
