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. What I don't like is when they call people who aren't Harry Potter fans "muggles." I know it's a playful insult, but y'all have to admit that you are a muggle yourself. If you're over the age of 11 and have not received your Hogwarts letter, you've got to get real with yourself. You are a muggle, and they're nothing wrong with that. I'm 99% sure you are a better person than Vernon Dursley, and that's all the magical community could ask of you. If you aren't afraid to admit your muggle status, these Harry Potter memes are a perfect fit.
