How to Tell When You're Obsessed with Harry Potter

Do you love Harry Potter? Do you feel like you can't get enough? Does it feel like the world has ended since the series did? If you answered yes to any of these, you're one of the many people all around the world who are addicted to the Potter series. But are you so addicted that you're obsessed? Read on to find out.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Find that you often murmur Latin words that don't make sense under your breath and get mad when nothing happens. You bought a Latin dictionary and freaked out when you realized all the spells in the books actually translate to what they do. You then proceeded to make up your own.

2. Call your least favorite teacher "Snape." Accordingly, you call Chemistry "Potions;" you call Social Studies "History of Magic" and you call Algebra "Arithmancy." All of your pets are named after Harry Potter characters. You have cats named Crookshanks, Mrs. Norris and Professor McGonnagall, a dog named Padfoot and a rat named Scabbers that you repeatedly try to get to change into Peter Pettigrew.

3. Sort out any new friends into one of the four Hogwarts houses. People wearing green automatically give you a bad vibe. You broke your nose when trying to jump through the brick wall between nine and ten, and had to be rushed to the emergency room. You actually cried when you had the last book in your hands, and you refuse to believe that it's the last of the Harry Potter series.

4. Refer to Voldemort as "You Know Who" and every time you say it, no one knows what you are talking about. You are counting down the days until you are old enough to take your Apparition test and all your friends think you're talking about getting your driver's license. You try on every piece of silvery fabric you can find to test if you become invisible.

5. Try tracing your blood-line back to see if you were related to any accused witches or wizards, and when you don't find anything you conclude that you must be muggle-born. Whenever you turn on a flash light, you say "Lumos!" You say "Nox" when you turn it back off. You spend all of your time considering what all of the characters did in the gap between the end of the final war and the epilogue. You also refuse to believe that Sirius is dead. Or Dumbledore. Or Lupin and Tonks. You insist to everyone who will listen that Teddy Lupin is the next Harry Potter.
