Wand At The Ready: 36 Harry Potter Memes For Hogwarts Students Brandishing The Sword Of Gryffindor

Welcome to the magical world of Harry Potter, albeit in meme form, because unfortunately for us, we're muggles. Growing up with Harry Potter meant finding sticks in your backyard and pointing it furiously at your parents when they asked you to do the dishes, it meant dressing up as Harry or Hermione for Halloween (sorry Ron), it meant barely being able to utter the words 'Lord Voldemort' out of sheer fear that he might magically show up at your front door and curse your entire family.

It is one of the only book series that turned into a good movie series, and there is nobody in this entire world we could imagine playing the part of our favorite Chosen boy with a lightning bolt-shaped scar on his forehead. We've always wanted to be in Gryffindor until we grew up and realized that Hufflepuff wasn't nearly as bad as everyone thought it was back then. Today they are our second favorite house.

This meme listicle is in honor of those who have not yet received their Hogwarts acceptance letter via owl… so basically, everyone. Scroll down for the funniest Harry Potter memes. For more like this, here is a collection of Star Trek memes for Trekkies boarding the Enterprise.
