Fun Lists

So as an avid fan of humor and anything Harry Potter related in the subject area, I thoroughly enjoy HP parodies. A few years ago, my cousin and I were browsing random Harry Potter websites, when we came across a 'funny list' section. These were lists such as "How to annoy Voldemort", "How to annoy the Dursleys", "What not to do at Hogwarts", etc. We were inspired to write our own lists and came up with two: "How to annoy someone who hates Harry Potter" and "You Know You're addicted to HP When..." and later submitted them to MuggleNet. As full of sarcasm and spite as I am, these lists reflect my humor and entertainment as well, as I have tried some out on my family, and they've worked quite well. :) I will post a link to a few that I have found, but as for a link to mine, my stupid computer won't let me, so this will be an extremely long post as I will have to write the whole thing out. Grr. I hope you find these as funny as I do!
