Two decades after Harry Potter’s introduction to the world, a handful of developments now cause some longtime fans to view the Potterverse differently than they did the first time they met Harry. For instance, the actor behind Uncle Vernon supported Brexit, Dumbledore is gay, and J.K Rowling has been widely denounced as a transphobe.

But despite the ever-growing backstories and controversies birthed since the last book was published in 2007, the robust storylines and beloved characters of Hogwarts are still remembered by millions of Harry Potter lovers worldwide. And those that know the books the best also know that hidden within the story’s dramatic twists and epic battles is a lot of Weasley brother-esque silliness.
