22 Times Harry Potter Wasn't The Brightest Wand In The Bunch

No one expects him to be Hermione, but all I'm asking for is a little common sense.

1. Like that time our boy Harry tried to snatch his Hogwarts letter out of the air.

2. Or when he tried to convince Snape "Roonil Wazlib" was his nickname.

3. And when he bought LITERALLY EVERYTHING on the Hogwart's Express food trolley

4. This brilliant idea.

Just. Why.

5. That time he kept playing Quidditch after a Bludger had just SHATTERED THE BONE IN HIS ARM.

6. When he didn't figure out Remus Lupin was a werewolf.

7. And the fact that he can't even write a page and a half long essay.

8. When he thought it'd be a good a idea to stick his face into an unknown, mystical substance in his headmaster's office.

9. Or when his best dueling move was to STICK HIS WAND UP HIS OPPONENT'S NOSE.

10. This ingenious line.

11. And this one.

12. That time he didn't even ask his date to the Yule Ball to dance.

13. When you realize he's a total jock.

14. And that he doesn't give a f**k.

15. When he opened Sirius's Christmas gift to him FIVE MONTHS LATER.

16. When he trusted Kreacher, of all people, without asking ANYone else about Sirius.

17. And then took the whole squad on a thestral death ride.

18. When he performed random spells from the margins of a book, with NO IDEA what they did.

19. That time he was feeling a little too sorry for himself.

20. This.

21. When he couldn't just say "Diagon Alley."

22. But worst of all, when he named his kids.

So I guess we all know why our favorite Homeboy Who Lived didn't get sorted into Ravenclaw.
