27 Struggles "Harry Potter" Fans Know All Too Well

~Waits 17 years for my Hogwarts letter~

We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the hardest part about being a Harry Potter fan. Here are the amazing results.

1. You try to keep your cool when someone asks, "Isn't Harry Potter for children?"

2. You have best friends who aren't obsessed with the series like you are.

3. A part of you dies when Dobby, Fred Weasley, and Professor Dumbledore die.

4. You cancel your Friday night plans to watch the Harry Potter weekend marathon on ABC Family.

5. No matter how hard you try, your broomstick will only be good for sweeping the floor and not for playing Quidditch.

6. You have a million questions for J.K. Rowling, but she'll never answer them.

7. It's a constant battle trying to get through every movie without hysterically crying.

8. You still haven't received your Hogwarts letter in the mail.

9. You use Harry Potter references in everyday conversation, but it takes a while for people to catch on.

10. It's always annoying when someone asks you to explain your Deathly Hallows tattoo.

11. Movie. Ginny. Weasley.

12. Anytime you go to Netflix to search for Harry Potter, nothing shows up.

13. You read so much fan fiction that you forget what is real and what is fake.

14. You'll never stand in line at a bookstore at midnight to buy a new Harry Potter book.

15. You want to have deep conversations with the characters you grew up with.

16. You don't know what your Patronus is.

17. Attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry isn't actually possible.

18. You don't know how to deal with the people who only watched the movies.

19. You date someone who doesn't fully appreciate the beautiful world of Harry Potter.

20. It's always difficult to hear someone hate on Hufflepuff when they're actually amazing.

21. You always have the desire to reread the books, but you know bad things will always happen.

22. You can't go to a bar and order Butterbeer.

23. It's hard learning someone didn't finish reading Deathly Hallows because it's "too boring."

24. You'll never get to experience this magical world for the first time again.

25. Anytime you say “Accio remote!” it doesn't come to you.

26. The word "always" brings you to tears without fail.

27. And the overwhelming feeling you get whenever you explain how important Harry Potter is to you.
