Which Harry Potter Character You Are, Based On Your Zodiac Sign
“We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on."
instagram What if I were to tell you that I am the one and only person who is presently living who has not seen a Harry Potter film (not one) from start to finish? Would you believe me? You probably wouldn't, and that is because it's impossible to go through life without Harry Potter.
The truth? I have seen the films, but I have not read the books. There are several fandoms that require this top-notch kind of dedication, and really, anything that can successfully compete with Star Trek or Star Wars is pretty much "up there."
Harry is one of those fandoms, and the inspiration this series of stories brings is far reaching and inspiring. Harry Potter wedding themes, entertainment parks, video games, fan fiction, march up the everlovin' wazoo. Spells, wands, potions, books — egads, this stuff is endless and awesome.
And then there's us. Who are we in the Potter realm? What character are we, based on astrology and our zodiac sign?
ARIES (March 21 - April 19): Voldemort
I mean, look at that punim. When you're born with that much smoldering aggression, vengeance and slithering magical ability, you have to be Aries. Who needs a nose when you have a brazen, unrelenting personality?
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): Delores Umbridge
Delores the Taurus. It's the obnoxiousness, that pushy, rude way of jabbing at things to get them to pay attention to you. Delores pulls no punches; she's direct and fierce, much like a bull sizing up the next china shop.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): Draco Malfoy
As a pure blood wizard, you're also quite the snob, and everyone knows it. You spend a lot of time trying to part of exciting things, but your snotty attitude often times gets you removed from the group. Face it, you're a snot-nosed brat and nobody likes you!
CANCER (June 21 - July 22): Dobby
You're a good elf, and even though we all think you're a tad weird, there's something loyal and adorable about you. You're a keeper, Dobby, and you're a Cancer. We will leave you in peace to tend to your chores, friend.
LEO (July 23 - August 22): Harry Potter
Heroic and ready to risk it all for the sake of knowledge, you're the one who saves the day, though you tend to put us all through hell witnessing it. We love you, Leo, and we thank you for being our magical person.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22): Hermione Granger
With your endless youthful charm and a bit of magic, there's nothing you can't accomplish. Your perfectionism works out well when you're casting a spell, and you do so love to banish people forevermore. Glamor us some more, you powerful witch!
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22): Remus Lupin
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride, eh, Libra? You tend to befriend all the important people, yet you yourself are never truly recognized for your gifts. What those gifts are, however, are nothing anyone can ever use.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21): Sirius Black
It's in your name, Scorpio. You can't be named something as dark and dastardly as Sirius Black without being a Scorpio. Obviously. And if Gary Oldman is your avatar, then that's a kink that can only belong to one as off-kilter as you.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21): Hagrid
It's the beard. Like all half-giant wizards, you, like your equestrian counterpart, like to sport a mane of wild, frizzed out hair on your face. You enjoy your gigantic size, and flaunt your magical abilities hither and thither. It's no wonder you are the keeper of the keys. No one would dare threaten you!
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19): Severus Snape
He knows all, and he holds many secrets, none of which we will ever find out unless we pry and snoop and interfere. Ah, but you, Capricorn, only give us the details of your life in bits and pieces. You make us earn it.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18): Luna Lovegood
It's all "airhead" goodness here, as you, Aquarius, are quite content to dream all day long. You're brave and true, but we usually don't get to see that side of you unless we ask. You're a strong, wise witch but you'd rather us figure that out on our own.
PISCES (February 19 - March 10): Ron Weasley
Curious and sensitive, your Pisces nature shines as young Weasley. For a pure blood, you're surprisingly demure and subdued, but once we get to know you, out pours the magic, and your kind of magic is all about love, friendship and knowledge.
