What Are Harry Potter Memes?
Harry Potter memes are images or video clips that are meant to be funny and are based on the famous books and films by J.K. Rowling. Most often, memes will take iconic quotes, characters, or scenes from a Harry Potter film and then overlay them with text that either adds a funny twist, relates to something happening in the muggle world, or is simply ridiculous. You can’t help but laugh at things like Hagrid riding an old-school motorcycle with a sidecar made out of an umbrella.
The reason these memes have such broad appeal is because they connect nostalgia with contemporary humor, as they are enjoyed by fans both young and old.
