If you're friends with someone who isn't a fan of the [Harry Potter series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-collection-2), wear the I'm with the Muggle shirt to let everyone who sees you know you're with a non-believer of the magical world.

This shirt adds humor to a wardrobe and it shows people just how much of a [wizard fan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniso-x-harry-potter) you are. This tank is also extremely ironic as the chances of the wearer being an actual wizard are pretty slim -- plus, if they were they'd be giving away their secret.

The grey American Apparel top has red writing on it and it includes [Harry Potter themes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hogwarts-house-keycaps) on it. For example, the letter 'M' in the word Muggle is made out of two lightning bolts to resemble the scar Harry has on his forehead.
