Having a bad day today? Don’t worry, it happens to everyone. Practise some mindfulness, or go to the park and hang out with your friends. These are all pretty great ways to make yourself feel better on a bad day, but there’s one way that I personally love the best - by scrolling through memes, specifically, Harry Potter memes! Ready to check out some HILARIOUS memes? I know I am! Let's get laughing!

10. A BURGER DILEMMAOkay, okay. Just looking at this meme’s got me secretly smiling to myself. Guys, this is just too relatable! You’re just at Mcdonald’s, about to bite into a scrumptious, delicious, juicy burger, when the tomato slides out >: (… LOL!

9. AN UNEXISTENCE
Okay, I actually feel bad about the unexistence of Peeves and Ludo Bagman in the movies. Although Peeves was quite irritating and all for mischief in the books, and although Ludo was quite… “unlikeable” (most of the time), it doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t have had the chance to show up in the movies! The part of Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix when Professor McGonagall helps Peeves cause chaos had me cracking up - and so does this meme! Who knew our strict Transfiguration Professor could be such a troublemaker?!

8. A HAIR ON YOUR SCREEN
Hermionie, I fell for this so hard! As soon as I saw the hair on Ron’s face I immediately tried to brush it away without even reading Hermionie’s dialogue. XD I wonder how many of you did the same? Make sure to share this meme with your friends and see if they fall for the trick! I sure feel like an idiot now...

7. MY MIND :0
The moment I realised this, it killed me - how have I never noticed it before? I couldn’t believe it without proof, so I searched it up and… it’s true! (0_0) Aunt Marge and Miss Trunchbull are so alike with their fiery hate of children. However, Aunt Marge did love her nephew Dudders, but that’s not my point! My point is that the fact that they were portrayed by the same person perfectly fits how the universe works! 2 villainous characters, 1 person! How crazy is that!?

6. “I’LL NOT BE HERE, SADLY… BUT HAGRID WILL.”

Okay, stop, stop, stop. You’re going to break my heart to pieces, Robbie Coltrane. This quote has travelled far and wide, and most Harry Potter fans have heard it. I know that memes are supposed to be funny, but this one shatters my heart. While I’m at it, I would just like to remember Robbie Coltrane for being the best version of Hagrid ever possible. I hope you rest in peace…

5. I WONDER WHO IT COULD BE…
Wow, Umbridge. You deserve an award for being the most hated character in the HP series… and another one for finally putting your mantra “I must not tell lies” into practice! I love how, in this meme, all the wizards and witches around her secretly agree with her. It shows how much respect she REALLY has at the Ministry...

4. VOLDY’S DESPERATE FOR A NOSE
This meme has me rolling all over the floor. Voldemort might be desperate for power, but there’s something he’s even more desperate for… a nose! He would do anything to get it, even if it meant lying. Thanks for the tip, Pinnochio! HAHA!

3. GEN Z VIBES
Calling all Gen Zs to assemble around Potter as he presents to you… an inspirational quote! Haha, no, no, go away, I didn’t mean that literally… This meme has got cracking up from how relatable it is to nearly everyone! Going home is one thing, staying up all night watching Tiktok is certainly another, Potter : )

2. NOOO! DON’T LOOK!
As I sneaked a peek at this meme, I was curious until I saw the last sentence. Then I was crying. Not from sadness, don’t worry, but from laughter! I can’t believe it, dearest readers - Dumbledore’s RICK-ROLLED us!!! This viral meme has been all over the world for a couple of years now, and Dumbledore’s decided to use this little weapon >: ( “Secrets and lies,” Dumbledore, how dare you… your brother was right!

   HAGRID’S BIG HEART
   This scene warmed my heart and made me shake with laughter all at once. This is exactly what Hagrid would name his child - after all his noble, beautiful babies! @GoHagrid4Ever! I especially love how he honestly states that he’d be happy with wherever the hat puts his child. That’s called a true father <3
   
   Whoof, that was quite a lot of memes! I hope they made you shake with laughter, cry out in joy and feel all warm and tingly. I know that they certainly have made me feel 10 times better than this morning! Thank you so much for reading. We'll be back with more Memes in issue #8 of Hogwarts Monthly News! Don´t miss it!
