As devoted Harry Potter fans, it's hard not to be affected by the wizarding world in all its glory. Although, unfortunately, none of us are actual wizards (at least none that we know of), that does not mean we cannot have some fun and adopt habits from the world of Harry Potter. It could be lines we love to quote from the books or the movies, it could be spells we enjoy whipping out, or even some mental exercises we learn from the professors and students of Hogwarts. We all have some habits we carry with us, and this Reddit discussion is here to provide some of the funniest ones. People sure love to yell out random spells like Alohomora or Accio and they love to quote iconic characters like Snape or Ron, simply to show their love to the magical series.

Scroll down to read some of the funniest habits Potterheads came up with. After you are done, click here for a charming collection of hilarious Harry Potter memes

    oxmiladyxo When I have a hard time falling asleep, I remember (book) Snape's instructions about clearing the mind before bed as a method of practice for Occulumency. Idk why but it works almost every time!

    To help my kids with their young fears, I taught them to re- imagine the scary thing in their mind with something funny attached to it, laugh, and call it ridiculous - The boggart spell if you will.

    vare Call-Me-Aurelia Gryffindor Whenever someone trips, stumbles, or falls in my family the immediate reaction is, "Whatchu fell over for?" To which the response should be an immediate and testy, “I didn't do it on purpose."

    Also, "Mischief managed" has become my standard phrase whenever a task is complete. I use it in all types of situations, not just with other HP fans, without even thinking about it.
