There are more than enough Harry Potter memes to go around. 

It's October 2026, and we still don't know who is playing Voldemort in the first season of the Harry Potter TV series. There were rumors flying around that Tilda Swinton might be playing Lord Voldemort in the newest version of Harry Potter, and I just can't understand it. First of all, I have no idea how J.K. Rowling would feel about changing the gender of one of her most iconic characters, especially given what she's been tweeting for the past five years. Also, there has been so much fan backlash about the casting of Snape; I would assume that the casting team would be advised to make the most milquetoast, safe choices imaginable for upcoming casting decisions. 

Adults who are extremely invested in a Harry Potter TV show in 2026 are clearly not the kinds of people who welcome change into their lives. They want the same kind of experience they had when they saw the movie, but longer and with more details from the book. Whether the show will be better than the movies remains to be seen, but I really cannot imagine a world where it is. But I've been wrong before! If you disagree, but you're willing to trust me as a provider of Harry Potter memes, I hope you continue scrolling.

    What do you think about Rupert Grint joining the cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway? Do you think any more cast members from the movie will join the play, or that him and Tom Felton are the only ones?

    I think my Hogwarts letter never arrived because I was an American muggle, but sure!

    If you were born between 1985 and 1998, remember that your Hogwarts letter never arrived because Voldemort deleted the Ministry's register of Muggle-born wizards.

    "Ginny came in to visit while you were unconscious," he said. after a long pause, and Harry's imagination zoomed into overdrive, rapidly constructing a scene in which Ginny, weeping over his life- less form, confessed her feelings of deep attraction to him while nocommentever Harry should write fanfiction

    Hermione was a very different looking character in the books than she was in the movies, and all of the real Potterheads know this!

    The most unrealistic thing in all of the Harry Potter isn't the dragons or the snakes talking, it's the fact that Ron didn't think anyone would ask Hermione to the ball.
