The Books-Only Snob

Every time a new book came out, they hustled over to the nearest bookstore to stand in line, then hibernated for a day to marathon read the whole thing cover to cover. They eat, sleep, and breathe the Harry Potter [3] series, and they were actually mad when the movies were released, refusing to see them because they didn't want to ruin the way they'd envisioned the stories. (They eventually saw the movies, but only because J.K. Rowling was involved.)

The Emotionally Invested

When Harry had his first kiss, when Sirius died, and when ohmygod Dumbledore died — well, they were not OK. Not even a little bit. With every book and every movie, they cried happy tears, sad tears, and a whole lot of so-excited-they-might-throw-up tears. Just, like, all the feelings.

The Closet Potterhead

OK, fine, they like Harry Potter [4], but don't tell anyone, all right? They have a very serious literary reputation to uphold, and they prefer to talk about all the very important biographies they read instead.

The Movie Junkie

The Harry Potter [5] movie junkie feels absolutely no need to go back and read the books, because what's the point? The movies are amazing! Plus, who has time to read that 700-page book anyway?

The "Only For the Kids" Parent

Until they had kids, they were all, "Harry who?" But then it felt like a parental duty to read the books to their children, and now the kids quote the series so much, it's like Ron Weasley is part of the family.

The Compulsive Rereader

Once the month of June hits, they're like, "HOLD MY CALLS." Every Summer, they reread the entire series, start to finish, and feel like their teenage self all over again. Rereading Harry Potter [6] is like a holiday to them — a tradition they love more than Christmas, TBH.

The Ridiculously Late Fan

They were so, so, so late to the Harry Potter [7] party. No, seriously. They finally read all the books last year — and then binge watched all the movies, of course. It was one big, overwhelming epiphany: "Oh my god. I love Harry Potter!" Now, of course, they swear they adore the series just as much as those original, hard-core fans.

The Fan-Site Fiend

Who needs Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram when you've got Mugglenet, Pottermore, and The Leaky Cauldron? They spend so much time stalking posts, memes, and message boards about the Harry Potter [8] world that they sometimes forget wizards aren't real.

The Movies-Then-Books Convert

For a long time, they resisted the Harry Potter [9] book phenomenon, but once they saw the trailer for the first movie, they couldn't help it — they were curious, and they had to go see it. Then one thing led to another, and the next thing you know, they went back and read all the books, and they GET IT.

The Wizard Fangirl

Swoon! They have such a big crush on one of the characters — or, you know, several of the characters — that they've actually started obsessing over the actors, too. And whoa, do not even talk to them about Neville Longbottom's transformation [11]. They pretty much lost their minds.

The Aggressively Obsessed

They love Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger and Dobby-OMG-Dobby, and they want everyone to know it! Oh, and as much as they love Harry Potter [12], that's how much they hate everything else. They regularly get into heated debates on Harry Potter vs. The Lord of the Rings, The Hunger Games, Divergent, and all those other stupid Harry Potter wannabes.

The Bandwagon Muggle

When everyone else said they loved Harry Potter [13], they decided that they should love Harry Potter, too. Because there was no way they were going to miss an invitation to one of those late-night bookstore launches or a buzzy movie release. #FOMO

The "Oh Wait, I Sort of Love This" Parent

It all started when Harry Potter [14] landed on their kid's reading list, but then they dove into the book with their child and it was basically game over. And — shhh — their kid was taking a little too long to read it and they just couldn't wait, so they secretly breezed through the whole series with a lot of late-night reading sessions.

The Theme-Park Regular

Harry Potter [15] come to life? You better believe they were at the Harry Potter theme park on the day it opened, and don't get them started on Universal Orlando's Diagon Alley [16]. They are beside themselves.
