Harry Potter pickup lines for the Potterheads

Usually, Valentine's day doesn't really excite us. Now that we have a podcast, we couldn't stop thinking about the interesting romantic pairings in the Harry Potter series. Some of them are adorable and athletic (Harry and Ginny), some are the cliched opposites that attracted (Hermione and Ron) and some are unexpected but perfect (Tonks and Lupin).

If you are a single Potterhead in search of a soulmate, sitting here and thinking about these couples is not going to help you. So we came up with a few pickup lines that you could use on your fellow Potterheads to get a date this Valentine's day (or get a strong talking to).

Hagrid and Harry: pawns of Dumbledore’s master plan?

When we meet Albus Dumbledore, he seems like this series' Obi Wan Kenobi - a benign, older mentor who knows a lot about the bad guy at large, Voldemort. But as it progresses, we're led to suspect that Dumbledore might not be as nice as he seems and that he definitely has a plan in place, for the greater good.
