Publisher's Synopsis
If Hogwarts students had access to the internet, there's no doubt they'd love memes just as much as everyone else. The Harry Potter universe has been ever-expanding since J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was released in 1997, providing 20 years of content to work with. Because there are so many amazing, clever, and dumb Harry Potter memes out there, we thought we'd round up some of the best ones for you.Most of these memes are pretty in-universe, poking fun at some of the characters' most iconic lines and looks. There are also quite a few crossovers into real life since Harry Potter has become so deeply ingrained in fans' psyches. Why not ask someone on a first date what their Hogwarts house is? And why not reread the entire Harry Potter series for the 100th time? Nothing's stopping you. You'll always love the world Rowling made.The first Harry Potter book was published in 1997, and the final film based on the book series was released in 2011. Both the books and the movies were wildly popular, and Harry Potter memes have been a mainstay on the internet for longer than some of the youngest fans of the series have even been alive.What Do Harry Potter Memes Mean?Harry Potter memes can mean a variety of different things. A lot of Harry Potter memes rely on knowledge that only fans of the books or movies will have, while others are reaction images that convey a feeling or mood that is understandable just by looking at the meme.How Are Harry Potter Memes Used?Harry Potter memes are often used on social media to make inside jokes. When someone uses a meme like this, they know that fellow fans will understand the reference and get the joke. Since the fan base is so large, and the movies in particular occupy a prominent position in popular culture, it's a fairly safe bet that casual fans, and even non-fans, will recognize some Harry Potter memes.Examples of Harry Potter Memes: Example #1Image: Hagrid on top and Harry Potter on the bottom.Text line one: You're a unit of power, Harry.Text line two: I'm a watt?Meaning: In the movie, Hagrid tells Harry he's a wizard, and Harry replies, "I'm a what?" This is a play on words, as watt is a unit of power.Example #2Image: A snake lifting itself up off the floor and leaning against a door.Text line one: Excuse me, sir.Text line two: Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior Lord Voldemort?Meaning: This meme makes a joke about a snake, which is typically associated with the antagonist Voldemort, proselytizing for him door to door.Example #3: Image: A walled off escalator.Text line one: EscalatorText line two: To HogwartsMeaning: In the books and movies, children board a train to Hogwarts by walking through a wall at the train station. The joke here is that instead of just a wall, there is an escalator.Here are 1000 of the best Harry Potter meme
