P.S. If you are a muggle, you have no job here.

“Mr. and Mrs. Dursley of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.”

Rings a bell? Takes you back to your childhood? Can you forget the moment when you opened Philosopher’s Stone for the first time and were instantly transported into the World of Magic? Remember how quickly you read through the seven books and still wanted more? How you watched all the movies one by one and cried your heart out when you realised it’s all finally over?

And then the Cursed Child came, of course, making us all excited again, but only left us yearning for more.

So, we went back to following different fan pages and reading up bizarre fan theories, be it shipping Draco and Harry or head canons about the four Marauders during their time at Hogwarts or the extremely wild and the improbable one of Snape being alive!

All of us signed up at Pottermore for the Sorting Hat to reveal our houses ( A proud Ravenclaw here!), for the wands to find us (“The wand chooses the wizard”) and to discover our Patronus.

J.K. Rowling, aka, The Queen continued to keep us hooked with her tweets on the solemn day of May 2nd when The Battle of Hogwarts took place; with apologies for killing off our favourite characters.

“ Potter, it’s good to see you.”

Our feelings resonate with Professor McGonagall’s when we open one of the books again for the gazillionth time. No matter how many times you have read the books, you cannot but admire the attention J.K. Rowling has paid to the intricacies of the elaborate plot line and the advanced character development. When you finish reading all the seven books and then go back to the first one, I assure you that you will be amazed at the different details that pop out which had a role to play in the larger plot. There’s a high chance of skipping past these little parts during your first read.

Rewatching the movies creates a certain sense of nostalgia in us. If you are following say, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint or Emma Watson on social media and you happen to watch Philosopher’s Stone or Chamber of Secrets, you will find yourself ‘Awwwwww’ing at the adorable childhood looks of these actors. Fans who watched every movie at the theatre during its time of release, literally grew up with these actors. And so, going back to these movies gives them a glimpse of their childhood as well.

While some of us Potterheads reread the books and rewatch the movies from time to time, there are some others out there who are much more passionate and vocal about their love for Harry Potter.

Getting a tattoo with reference to Harry Potter. Extreme or Cool?

Seems pretty cool to me! (Yes, I will get one the day I manage to narrow down to a single design!) There are a lot of ideas and options to choose the design that you want to get inked with, the most common one being the symbol of The Deathly Hallows. Not a fan of the The Deathly Hallows? Worry not! Maybe choose the ‘9 3/4’ or the lightning shaped scar or perhaps even the dark mark. Want it to be something meaningful or witty? You have the bundle of famous quotes at hand.

“After all this time? Always.” ,

“I solemnly swear that I am upto no good”,

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live”,

“It’s leviOsa, not leviosAR”

Don’t want to have such long writings on your body? We have a solution for that too! Just choose one of the spells. “Expecto Patronum” or “Lumos” or even “Avada Kedavra” if you will.

A lot of fans go ahead and get the faces of the actors inked on their body as well. In fact, Daniel Radcliffe mentioned in an interview that he was shocked to see one of his fans get a tattoo of his signature scrawled in his messy handwriting.

Getting a tattoo related to Harry Potter has a couple of advantages. It can help you identify Potterheads in an unfamiliar crowd and bond with them. Also, it can prove to be a great conversation starter as well.

Imagine you have “I solemnly swear I am up to no good” tattooed on your hand. How awesome would it be if someone tapped you on your shoulder and said “Mischief Managed”? Ways To Make Friends Instantly 101!

Want other ways to make some new friends or find your soulmate? Be sure to try your luck at a Harry Potter Convention. These conventions are typically fans meeting up dressed as one of the characters, enjoying a cup of Butterbeer and maybe even playing a game of Quidditch! If ever there happens to be one in your locality, make sure you don’t miss the golden.. snitch?..no wait, opportunity.

Now, suppose you went to a Harry Potter Convention, met your soulmate there and you both decide to get married. How would your wedding be? Harry Potter themed, of course. (Believe me, this has happened in real life.)

From promising to stay with each other ‘until death do us apart’ literally with the unbreakable vow to ‘Always’ being the icing on the cake (literally again), there are a lot of innovative ideas you could include in your grand wedding! You could add pictures of Moaning Myrtle to the bathroom stalls as well!

A duel with your significant other is a must-have at the wedding.

Desserts also HP themed? Wow, they must have dwelt deeply on this. Anyway, make sure to eat those snitches before they fly off!

If any of you gets ideas of having a Harry Potter themed wedding after reading this article, please do invite me!

Whether it’s reading the books over and over again, or getting inked with a reference that only the Wizarding World understands, or having a Harry Potter themed birthday party and wedding, or even spending your life savings to visit the Harry Potter Studios in London, we can all agree on this; we will ‘always’ love Harry Potter and the magical universe. We can never agree with the claim that Harry Potter is just another children’s book. Yes, it shaped our childhood but it didn’t just stop there. It is so much more and no matter how old I am, there will always be a part of me that wants to fight my Boggart, see my reflection in the Mirror of Erised and know what Amortentia smells like to me. Thank you Queen for gifting us this whole other universe.

With love,

Another Fellow Potterhead.
