The Harry Potter film series debuted in 2001, which means we are a step away from its 20-year anniversary. (If the world doesn’t collapse, and nobody is entirely sure from what we’ve seen so far.) The truth is, as time has passed, only now do we realize how funny that spellbound universe truly was. So no Sirius faces allowed after this point!
If you haven’t thought of Harry Potter as an excellent source for jokes, puns, and one-liners, bear with us. Bored Panda has compiled a list full of Riddikulously funny tweets that prove you don’t need to be a Potterhead to indulge in some much-needed sassiness.
The list may come as especially enjoyable to millennials, since according to this research, the Harry Potter series “has had a powerful effect on the entire generation.” And who are we to refute science?

We looked at a house with two sets of stairs, and two cupboard rooms under the stairs - we have twins so it was a serious thought :D
Bored Panda reached out to Andy McCray, the founder and editor at the website Harry Potter Fan Zone, to find out what it is about the Harry Potter series that clicks with so many people still today. The project was launched back in 2003 when Andy was a 14-year-old student from Canberra, Australia. It is now one of the largest Wizarding World sources on the internet.
Andy explained that Harry Potter has such a passionate and enthusiastic following because it embedded itself in the zeitgeist of the 2000s. “An entire generation grew up reading the books and watching the films, and the characters and stories have transcended the page to became part of popular culture."

Markus Holstein 5 years ago
Yeah! I always wondered why they needed to learn how to turn a mouse into a snuff box or stuff like that
”Moreover, there’s this entertainment and nostalgia factor to it. “The HP movies deal with themes — love and hate, good versus evil, overcoming adversity and standing up against injustice, finding inner strength — which are particularly relevant in the modern world,” Andy said.
For the millennial generation who grew up reading books, the Harry Potter world serves as a form of fantasy escapism in this increasingly hectic world.

Andy finds it absolutely natural that people would continue to make Harry Potter references online. “It’s loved by such a huge number of people that the characters, situations, jokes and references are immediately understood by a wide audience.”
Having said that, memes are also a vital part of 21st century popular culture. And “what better than pairing that with one of the biggest popular culture phenomenons of our time,” concluded Andy.

In our school, the classes each grade are divided into "a": (sports talents = brave), "b" (bilingual lessons = smart), "c" (the ones with no special talents, but some of them are also visiting bilingual lessons = miscellaneous) and "d" (the rest that doesn't fit anywhere, students devoid of any special talents apart from making the teachers' life hell = evil). My school is practically Hogwarts without all the magic.

Magic cannot fix a physical disability.

If you're basing your entire image of Hermione off the film adaptation, I'm all for this. If you base it off the book, there is *some* credibility to his doubt. Not in her not being asked, but rather there being credibility enough that it 'might' be believable for Ron to think that.

No, in a version by George RR. Martin, the Harry Potter series would be 20 books long by now, still not finished, and Harry dragging thorugh the plot in about year 3 of Hogwarts. Simultaneously about a hundred side characters that no one can remember from books 4 to 7 would have boring side stories in places no one remembers from books 2 to 8.

seriously though, Dumbledore, as Head of the Wizengamot and Supreme Mugwump at the time could have pushed for this. but he didn't and just let Sirius live in exile after book 3, and let Harry be called under fire from the press in book 5. Dumbledore keeps going on about how Fudge is the problem but Dumbledore had the power to stop all of this because his position is literally made to keep Fudge's power in check. This is one of the reasons that I think some of Dumbledore's thinking is flawed.
IcarusOfTheSkywings 3 years ago
He was ousted from those positions after the events of the Goblet of Fire. It was mentioned in Order of the Phoenix when Harry was talking to Ron and Hermione.

Not sure which part of the joke is the issue, so hopefully this doesn't across as condescending, I'm just explaining it. The first 3 photos are things you can ride in the way you'd expect: I want to ride the hippogryph, I want to ride a broom, I want to ride in the flying car. The last photo is Viktor Krum, and in this case "ride" is being used as a sexual term, so it flips expectations and says "I also want to f*** Viktor".

I never said lgbtq+ topic was not for kids. What I meant was that because HP isn't primarily lgbtq+ content it shouldn't be seen as non inclusive. I don't see a reason why it should be explicitly said that "btw Dumbledore is gay" or why is it a huge deal to some that it wasn't stated so. There are millions of details that jkr added after the books had been finished. Plus Dumbledore being gay is obvious from Fantstic beasts.
Jaded Queen 5 years ago (edited)
Seriously. LGBTQ+ is a huge topic. But whenever it is mentioned it becomes the soul focus and identifying feature of the character. I liked how it was so very normally mentioned, instead of making a huge deal about it, which wasn't required in the story. Moreover, it doesn't matter to me what j.k says , Dumbledore is asexual for me. I can't imagine him having such idiotic Romantic feelings, he is brilliant for gods sake. He can't be stupidly in love like some rom com teen. It's just absurd . For me since his birth to death he was ",though very old, always gave an impression of great energy. "."watched him beaming around at the students, he felt really calm for the first time" .nothing anyone says can change that.

But in what context would Dumbledore ever need to be identified as gay. He was hardly involved in a relationship at this time of fear and danger at Hogwarts.

while I agree with you, maybe he shouldn't do it to support favoritism, cause that only makes the Slytherins hate them more. and the sorting hat is always talking about house unity; it also lives in Dumbledore office. so Dumbledore is either ignoring it or is doing it on purpose because no way could such a smart man be so oblivious.
