EVERY SHAKESPEARE PLAY SUMMED UP IN A QUOTE FROM THE OFFICE. ✨ Shakespeare sometimes gets a bad rap for being lengthy, boring, and outdated, so we have made it our mission in life to explain his stuff in a way that is none of those things. Read the rest here: http://bit.ly/2ofp0po.
In honor of the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, we did the impossible and summed up 95 characters in one sentence each, creating the greatest masterpiece of the 21st century. Click here to see it, and then take a few minutes to thank the universe for giving us the brilliant J.K. Rowling, who changed all our lives with her beautiful, hilarious, heartbreaking, magical books.
You always instinctively knew that your life was missing something, but you probably didn't know that that something was a young Sirius Black in a shearling jacket.
If Pride and Prejudice took place in 2018, there would be markedly less garden-walking, an equal amount of upper-class snobbery, and 100% more texting.
DISCLAIMER: These cards—created by the spectacular @lilabeanz—are imbued with VERY powerful magic. Give one to your crush, and you just might get a date. Give ALL OF THEM to your crush, and you just might end up getting married, having 3 kids, and giving one of those kids what is indisputably the worst name of all time (it was a real missed opportunity, is all we're saying). And with that warning out of the way, get out there and fall in love, you nerds! <3
From honorary Auror/muggle dreamboat @roonil-freakin-wazlib comes yet another masterpiece: IF HOGWARTS HAD THE INTERNET. We’ll let her explain:
ACCIO, HOLIDAY SPIRIT: these beyond-beautiful gifs by the wonderful @littlechmura are going to have you chugging peppermint mochas and be-decking yourself in the warmest Weasley sweater you can get your hands on. If there was ever a time that we wanted to be in the Gryffindor common room, drinking butterbeer and flirting with Fred and/or George while snuggled up on an overstuffed armchair in front of a crackling fire, it is now. (It’s also every second of every day, but now, especially.)
In this gorgeous sequel to @littlechmura stunning One Breath Each series, she depicts 12 of our favorite Harry Potter characters going about their everyday lives at Hogwarts. Uh, *INSERT HEART-EYES EMOJI HERE*.
Classic lit + Onion-style headlines = the mashup you never knew you always wanted. Click here to see all 14!

The incomparable @vitoriabas threw caution and tea leaves to the wind and tried her hand at interpreting Harry Potter’s dreams—and it turns out that our favorite Chosen One has a lotttt on his mind, and most of it is h*ckin’ WEIRD.
If you’re ever called upon to explain the Harry Potter books to some dunderhead who has never read them, you can simply widen your eyes and flail your arms around a lot in a way that hopefully conveys what the series means to you and to millions of readers around the world.
Or you can, you know, just show them these pie charts by @roonil-freakin-wazlib.
basically hamlet when he accidentally kills polonius

‘“Spew”?’ said Harry, picking up a badge and looking at it. ‘What’s this about?’
‘Not spew,’ said Hermione impatiently. ‘It’s S – P – E – W. Stands for the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare.’
‘Never heard of it,’ said Ron.
‘Well, of course you haven’t,’ said Hermione briskly, ‘I’ve only just started it.’
‘Yeah?’ said Ron in mild surprise. ‘How many members have you got?’
‘Well – if you two join – three,’ said Hermione.
Hermione researching house elf history and knitting socks for them in preparation for the creation of S.P.E.W. :D Hope you like!

The spectacular @vitoriabas has brilliantly imagined what our fave Harry Potter characters would have worn during their time at Hogwarts—so if you've ever wanted to see James Potter in short shorts, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE.
