Aged Wizard Instagram Spoofs

This Funny Instagram Parody Shows Harry Potter as an Embarrassing Dad

— October 23, 2013 — Pop Culture
This funny Instagram parody imagines what an Instagram account would look like for Harry Potter. But instead of imagining the heroic wizard in the prime of his youth, the account of 'chosen1' reflects the musings of an older Harry Potter, as he is depicted at the end of the book series and movies.

Harry posts snapshots of the 9 3/4 platform, Throwback Thursday posts of he and a young Ron Weasley and of course, posts that embarrass his children.

In this parody, even though years have passed since Harry Potter attended Hogwarts, you can still see some of his classmates and closest friends "liking" the photos he shares to Instagram. This is a hilarious way to mashup a popular social networking site with a huge fandom.
