50 harry potter memes

Being a Dark Lord in the Wizarding World in the Harry Potter franchise is not as simple as doing the most evil stuff possible. There's a 50/50 chance of getting your rear served to you on a platter by an adolescent boy and taking over a school is a lot more difficult than taking over the world. However, Voldemort just had to do it and has tried for seven years straight to no avail.

Statistically, that makes him the worst Dark Lord ever in the history of pop culture fandoms. Such an unofficial title has even made him the butt of many jokes and memes. Most of them point out his lack of olfactory organs but there are also those that highlight his failure at being a Dark Lord. So, here are 10 memes that prove Voldemort is no threat at all to a kid.

10 ICKY MUGGLE TECHNOLOGY

It's too bad Voldemort hates Muggles or anything Muggle-related. Otherwise, he would have easily found a thousand and one ways how Muggles could have easily dispatched of a pre-pubescent boy. Funny enough, how Muggles fight and murder each other seems a lot more efficient than wizards or witches.

A gun would most certainly be faster than uttering Avada Kedavra. Wizarding World spells seriously need an update or a more efficient iteration if Voldemort actually wants to take over everything. In any case, Harry should consider himself lucky, Voldemort with a gun is easily unstoppable.

9 EDUCATION IS RATHER IMPORTANT

Here's another reason why our bald Dark Lord keeps failing to kill Harry Potter. Voldemort just has to stay in the shadows until Potter or just about any Hogwarts student has taken their final exams for their school year. That's how it's always been for the first five or six books/films.

In Voldemort's defense, he was quite a good student and thus understands the value of education. Still, it did give his enemies a lot more time to prepare themselves or even learn some spells to easily counter Voldemort's own army. Whatever happened to nipping it in the bud?

8 WHO WOULDN'T OVER DANIEL RADCLIFFE?

It's not hard to find reasons why Voldemort isn't as menacing as say, Sauron fromThe Lord of the Rings or Darth Sidious from Star Wars. There's the fact that his nemesis is a teenager who's also careless and easily tricked. In fact, Voldemort could have easily harmed or wiped out anyone close to Harry just to isolate him but that would be too cruel now, would it?

Of course, that would be discounting all the carefully planned intricacies J.K. Rowling set in place to justify Voldemort's obsession with Potter but nevertheless, it still makes him a laughing stock among Dark Lords.

7 THAT PLATFORM IS A HEALTH HAZARD

There's no denying how dangerous Platform 9 and 3/4 can be. The sheer volume of wizards and witches going through would most likely be enough to cause a pileup or some nasty collisions. Even Ron and Harry slammed themselves flat on the Platform after it immediately closed on them.

Hence, it could be our plausible fan fiction that Voldemort flattened his nose gone after kissing Platform 9 and 3/4 nose-first. Who knows, they could have put a charm on it that bars a certain Dark Lord from entering.

6 IT COULD HAVE BEEN RATHER EASY

Surprisingly, a good number of people and creatures in the Wizarding World came closer to killing Harry Potter than Voldemort himself has managed. Even poor clueless Neville Longbottom thought he killed Harry because of a delayed gillyweed reaction.

Come to think of it, Barty Crouch Jr. could have easily deceived Longbottom and had him manipulate to kill Harry with the wrong weed and have him drown in the lake. Voldemort really needs to rethink his plans for endangering a teenage boy. So far the only thing he does is shoot green sparks at him.

5 HE EATS FABULOUS FOR BREAKFAST

After being defeated by a cheesy love spell and a baby in a crib, there's no lower rock bottom for Voldemort, right? Well, as it turns out, he then had to spend more or less a year on an incompetent minion's head, namely Professor Quirrell.

You can imagine it wasn't the most pleasant experience for Voldemort since he had to have a high maintenance diet of unicorn blood, fancy expensive stuff in the Wizarding World black market. That's a highly particular diet for a Dark Lord; Voldemort can be quite a picky eater now, is he?

4 GAME OVER, ORDER OF THE PHOENIX

Gotta hand it to Voldemort, though; his scheme of staying immortal is a lot better than a certain Dark Lord who turned himself into a ring that's easily melted. Instead, Voldemort turned himself into seven trinkets or vessels. This ensured an exciting and deadly Easter Egg hunt for Potter who found out that he also was a Horcrux.

Either way, there surely were more durable materials that Voldemort could have made as a Horcrux. somehow, a diamond missed his checklist of the most indestructible items to bind his soul to. That brings us to the double meme here which also celebrates the durability of the Nokia , a legend among mobile devices - something that could have ensured Voldemort's eternal life.

3 HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-SEARCHED-ON-GOOGLE

Search engine algorithms are weird and can be misunderstood. That does depend on what exactly people are searching on them and as it turned out, at one point in our history, too many people searched for the fact that they hated Voldemort using their shampoo.

It's a joke to Professor Quirrell, most likely since he's keeping Voldemort at the back of his head (literally). Funny thing is, Quirrell is also bald, meaning none of them use shampoo. For the sake of hilarious fan fiction, however, let's just assume Quirrell is meticulous with scalp-care and Voldemort tends to get in the way, leading to an uncomfortable bath time for the Hogwarts professor.

2 THAT NAME'S REALLY STARTING TO GET IMPRACTICAL

How the Wizarding World chose a name for a Dark Lord so deplorable they don't want to mention his name is one of the most memorable (and questionable) things in Harry Potter. It's either one of these two: "You Know Who" or "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named," forget about "Dark Lord," it's too generic.

Anyway, could they not have at least named him something more defiant or practical? It's like the 10 years since he has been defeated, people were still cowering in fear instead of planning up contingencies or preparing for his return. Besides, the things he did weren't even that bad to warrant the fear attached to his moniker.

1 HOW DEATH EATERS RECRUIT MEMBERS

You just have to wonder how Voldemort manages to recruit anyone in his "army." Does the job description include ganging up on a child and his friends? We do know that most of the time, they usually went with the Slytherin alumni or current members for their Death Eater pool.

That doesn't exactly paint Slytherin in a good light and in a more logical sense, that house really should have been abolished since most Death Eaters (save for Peter Pettigrew) are Slytherins. Regardless, that sort of explains the name; they just slither in on Voldemort's anti-Potter hate club.

In the big wide wizarding world, Harry Pottermemes are truly the gift that keeps on giving.

The enduring phenomenon of Harry Potter has given us many things, from a slew of inspirational quotes to a beloved Broadway play. But one of the greatest gifts that the franchise has bestowed on fans is source material for a seemingly never-ending stream of memes.

Luckily, the movies based on J.K. Rowling&#;s book series supplied a visual representation of the story of the boy who lived, allowing Harry Potter to find a whole new lease on life when memes became a favored source of internet entertainment. After all, with a franchise as beloved as Harry Potter, it seems only natural for fans to continually be looking for ways to reference the series in everyday interactions. Especially in ways that are laugh-out-loud funny.

It&#;s been nearly 10 years since the Harry Potter movies wrapped up their decade-long run in theaters, but the jokes derived from scenes in the eight films will never get old. Here&#;s TIME&#;s list of the 10 best Harry Potter memes ever.

The Harry Potter meme where Voldemort hugs Draco

We&#;ve all been there. You&#;re caught up in the emotion of everyone believing Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) is dead after Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) uses the killing curse on him in The Deathly Hallows – Part 2 when suddenly the Dark Lord is calling for recruits to join the Death Eaters. Malfoy (Tom Felton) steps forward and is forced into one of the most awkward hugs ever depicted on-screen, a moment so hilariously uncomfortable that it instantly cemented its spot in the annals of Harry Potter meme history.

Felton himself has even commented on the cringe-inducing embrace.

&#;Pretty proud to say I&#;m probably the only kid that ever hugged Voldemort. Even if it was awkward,&#; he tweeted following the movie&#;s release in

Now, the Voldemort hugs Draco meme has become a litmus test for gauging just how awkward a situation is.

The Harry Potter meme where you need to turn to page

Thanks to Alan Rickman&#;s ice cold portrayal of the stony Severus Snape, Hogwarts&#; longtime potions professor inspired countless memes over the years. But one in particular that has stood the test of time is Snape telling Harry&#;s class to turn to page of their Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook while subbing for Lupin (David Thewlis) in The Prisoner of Azkaban.

Rickman&#;s iconically deadpan delivery of the line made it an instant hit among movie watchers, who transformed it into a reply meme signifying putting your foot down in short order.

The Harry Potter meme where &#;yer a wizard&#;

It may be the line that first brought the true magic of Harry Potter to life in The Sorcerer&#;s Stone, but it&#;s also often misquoted. Strangely enough, it&#;s that version that has become a meme.

After the pivotal moment that is Rubeus Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane) bursting through the door of the Hut-on-the-Rock to deliver Harry’s Hogwarts acceptance letter and discovering that the Dursleys have never told Harry about his magical lineage, the line Hogwarts&#; gentle giant groundskeeper actually says is, &#;Harry — yer a wizard.&#;

In meme form, Harry&#;s name generally appears at the end of the quote instead. And Hagrid is generally telling Harry that he&#;s something other than a wizard.

The &#;Yer a wizard, Harry&#; reaction gif is also employed to inform someone when they&#;re stating the obvious.

The Harry Potter meme where Harry doesn&#;t have his mother&#;s eyes

Despite the fact that Harry&#;s eyes were a distinct bright green in the books, due to Daniel Radcliffe&#;s &#;extreme reaction&#; to wearing colored contacts, fans just had to accept that movie Harry had blue eyes. J.K. Rowling herself even approved this switch — on one condition.

During a one-on-one conversation with Radcliffe that was included as an extra on the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 DVD, Rowling reveals what she told Harry Potter producer David Heyman when he called to ask if it was OK if Radcliffe&#;s eyes weren&#;t green. “The only really important thing is that his eyes look like his mother’s eyes,&#; she said. &#;So if you’re casting Lily, there needs to be a resemblance, but they don’t absolutely have to be green.&#;

That makes sense since throughout the entirety of both the book and movie series, other characters are constantly telling Harry that he has his mother&#;s eyes. With his dying breath, even Snape famously says as much.

But when young Lily Potter (Ellie Darcey-Alden) appears on screen while Harry is submerged in Snape&#;s memories in the Pensieve minutes after his death, she has&#;brown eyes. This was a bridge too far for some and led to a meme poking fun at the obvious blooper.

Talk about an awkward moment!

The Harry Potter meme where Neville&#;s all grown up

When we first meet Neville Longbottom in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer&#;s Stone, he&#;s described as a “round-faced boy&#; who&#;s clumsy, forgetful and nervous. And when year-old Matthew Lewis was cast as Neville in the movies, he appeared to be a good fit for the role.

Except there was one problem — the older Lewis got, the less he resembled the awkward young wizard he was playing. Lewis himself has even said that he was worried he was going to be recast.

&#;Definitely at one point between films two and three I shot up in height and lost a lot of puppy fat and I wondered if they were going to recast me — we were only contracted to two films at a time,&#; he told Big Issuein &#;It didn’t keep me awake at night but I considered it a possibility. I’ve since been told there was never any question but I reckon in some dark room somewhere in California it might have come up.&#;

Luckily, Neville fully comes into his own by the end of the book series, which allowed Lewis to shed the &#;fat suit and false teeth and stuff to stick my ears out&#; that he had to wear for a few years and debut his transformation to the world.

As defined by Urban Dictionary, the term &#;Neville Longbottom&#; has since become a slang verb meaning &#;to get significantly more attractive after going through the process of puberty.&#;

When Lewis graced the cover of Attitude magazine alongside the tagline &#;From Hogwarts to hottie&#; in , even J.K. Rowling had something to say about the photo of him pulling his tank top up to reveal his abs.

&#;Not as bad as watching Dan in Equus, but close,&#; she wrote, referencing the play in which Daniel Radcliffe famously appeared nude. &#;Warn me next time, for God&#;s sake.&#;

Now, Neville memes are around to serve as inspiration for anyone who feels like a late bloomer.

The Harry Potter meme with Gryffindor&#;s points

Every school year, the four Hogwarts houses compete to win the House Cup, with points being awarded for things like exemplary academic performance and good deeds and taken away for things like rule-breaking and misbehaving.

And thanks to Harry, Ron and Hermione&#;s penchant for bending the rules, during the Golden Trio&#;s time at Hogwarts, professors — and in particular, Snape — could often be heard deducting points from Gryffindor.

Now, the &#;points from Gryffindor&#; meme can be used to express disapproval of someone else&#;s behavior. But it can also be flipped on its head when you want to exuberantly praise various online going-ons.

The Harry Potter meme with Hermione Granger energy

Whip smart, resourceful and as loyal as they come, Hermione Granger (played by Emma Watson in the movies) is a force to be reckoned with from the moment she makes her debut in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer&#;s Stone. As Ron (Rupert Grint) wisely tells Harry in The Deathly Hallows — Part 1 movie, &#;We wouldn&#;t last two days without her.&#;

So it&#;s no wonder that having &#;Hermione Granger energy&#; has become one of the internet&#;s go-to compliments for anyone deemed to be exuding a high level of intelligence — and unashamedly putting it on display.

The classic Hermione raising her hand gif can also be used to express an eagerness to volunteer for something, whatever it may be.

The brightest witch of her age, indeed.

The Harry Potter meme with Snape saying &#;always&#;

That&#;s right, Snape is back again, Potterheads. This time, we&#;re breaking down how the arguably most famous line of dialogue from the entire series, Snape telling Dumbledore (played by Michael Gambon from The Prisoner of Azkaban movie on) that he will &#;always&#; love Lily Potter, is used in meme form.

Ever felt dejectedly dedicated to seeing something through to the end? If so, this gif is for you. Or maybe you&#;re looking to humorously express a deep longing for something that will never be? Time to pull the Snape saying &#;always&#; meme out of your back pocket.

The Harry Potter meme where Dobby is a free elf

Without Dobby, it&#;s likely that all would&#;ve been lost in the battle against Lord Voldemort. As we all sadly know, the house elf&#;s heroic rescue mission to Malfoy Manor in The Deathly Hallows ultimately cost him his life, but it gave him the chance to stand up to his former abusive masters while saving Harry and his friends.

Of course, as the internet is fond of doing, they&#;ve since transformed Dobby&#;s declaration of independence, &#;Dobby is a free elf,&#; into a meme for when you&#;re not too fond of the idea of doing what someone has told you to.

The Harry Potter meme where Dumbledore asks if Harry put his name in the Goblet of Fire

Dumbledore confronts Harry about the Goblet of Fire spitting out Harry&#;s name as the final champion who will compete in the Triwizard Tournament in both the book and movie. But while the book describes Dumbledore as &#;calmly&#; asking him how it happened, Dumbledore actor Michael Gambon had a bit more of an aggressive take on the scene, i.e., storming at Harry, shaking him and shouting at him.

This discrepancy has led to a meme poking fun at how out-of-character Dumbledore&#;s reaction in the movie seems to many fans. The reaction gif of Dumbledore seizing and yelling at Harry can also be used in response to someone having an extreme overreaction to something.

Do you remember the silly phrase of Professor Dumbledore? The words nitwit, blubber, oddment, and tweak were said in one of the strangest school director’s speeches.
