Muggle or Wizard

"Harry Potter" took Britain by storm and was soon apparating on bookshelves internationally with the release of the fourth book, "The Goblet of Fire." Now that J.K. Rowling has finished the final book in the series and Warner Bros. has released the fifth movie installment, Harry Potter fans can be found everywhere. But, what type of fan are you?

The Muggle

The muggle, as described by J.K. Rowling, knows nothing of the magic community. Aside from recognizing the name Harry Potter, as a muggle you consider yourself blissfully unaware of wizards, portkeys and lighting bolt shaped scars. In stores you could care less about the purple and gold packages. And, you are far more interested in drinking your morning latte than noticing the giant book displays.

The Dementor

The dementor takes pleasure in sucking the happiness from true Harry Potter fans. As a dementor you keep up with main characters and plot lines. You try to get your hands on any major information first and use it to spoil the fun of discovery for others. If you could, you would filch advanced copies of the books to release spoiler information on every Harry Potter message board. And, you revel in making up rumors about the demise of Hermione, Neville and Ron.

Head Boy or Girl

As the Head Boy or Girl you could easily ace any test on the Harry Potter books. You have read and re-read each book, scouring the pages for anything you may have skipped. You know the rules of Quiditch. You could make your own Polyjuice potion if you could only find the ingredients. And, you could easily pass your O.W.L.s in History of Magic and Care of Magical Creatures.

Prefect

The prefect keeps up with all things Harry Potter. As a prefect you have read the books, seen the movies and played the video games. You not only know character biographies but actor bios as well. You set your rembembrall to remind you of book, movie and game release dates. Your Harry Potter collectibles are all "mint in the box" and carefully displayed.

The Wizard

The wizard feels as though he has walked the halls of Hogwarts. As a wizard you have incorporated the world of Harry Potter into your daily life. Instead of a light switch your lights are voice controlled and respond to the command, "Lumos!" You have even converted you assets to knuts and silver sickles. Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans are your favorite snacks. And, instead of weeding you have to degnome your garden.

The Harry Potter series will continue to be cherished by many. More will join the ranks of Harry Potter fans and some will be promoted along the way. For all the fans out there, Muggle, Dementor and Wizards alike, I wish you happy reading!
