30 Harry Potter Memes That’ll Make You Want To Rewatch the Whole Series

Published:

It’s wild to think the first Harry Potter movie came out over 20 years ago. We watched Harry, Ron, and Hermione grow from awkward first-years into heroes, sat through every twist and turn at Hogwarts, argued about which house we would belong to, and somehow still find ourselves quoting lines without even trying.

The internet hasn’t let go either. If anything, it’s turned the series into a goldmine of memes. Whether you’re the type to rewatch the whole saga every fall or just pop on your favorite scenes, these memes will hit all the right notes.

1. Okay, Ron.
