There are Harry Potter fans who've read the books and seen the films a few times, and then there are fanatics who incorporate their fandom into major life events. Based on photos of an insanely intricate Harry Potter wedding cake baked for Mike Evans, it's safe to say that the wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is one of the latter. A self-professed Gryffindor, Mike debuted his special groom's cake — inspired by JK Rowling's Wizarding World — at his February nuptials to now-wife Ashli Evans, causing Potterheads to redefine their idea of "wedding goals."

This was no haphazardly thrown-together dessert. Instead, the multitier masterpiece was undoubtedly a labor of seriously geeky love. While Molly Weasley might not have thought twice about conjuring up such an extravagant confection — remember Harry's golden snitch birthday cake? — Evans likely pored over plans with a skilled baker to dream up the perfect Potter creation. Take a look at the finished result below, and you'll agree that Evans has definitely earned a few points for Gryffindor for his creativity and dedication!

The cake shows off each Hogwarts house, various references to Harry's adventures, and even Hedwig the owl.

Evans, a longtime Potter fan, showed some house pride when photos of the cake began going viral.

Congratulations to the happy couple! Love is the most powerful magic.
