A Harry Potter Teacher is a teacher who is seriously addicted to Harry Potter and is probably a millennial. Usually, this follows along with them also liking "The Hunger Games," too. Most of these creatures usually have a bio in which it states they at least like Harry Potter or they're a huge fan. You can also call a singular version of this person a Harry Potter Teacher.
Me: "My teachers are Harry Potter Teachers."
Person: "What're you even talking about man."
Me: "My teachers are big fans of Harry Potter."
Person: "Mine are too."

Harry Potter is the best thing ever
by BookManiaGirl520 December 31, 2010
Someone who is litterally obsessed with all concepts of Harry Potter. Usually, they have read all of the books at LEAST three times, they read/write fanfictions to it, and all thoughts are centered around it. Some even masturbate to Harry Potter and it's characters...
"Dude, what the hell are you doing?"
"Reading the fifth Harry Potter book."
"You are such a Harry Potter Fag!"
"So? hey, do you know where the lotion is...?"

People who don't know anything about the process of a book to film adaptation. Clueless and idiotic "fans" who slate the Harry Potter films because they are "not like the books." These people fail to recognise that books and films are entirely separate mediums and entities.
They often resort to hating the director, not taking into account that there are other people involved in the filmmaking process, including the writers and WB Studios who place pressure on the team to adapt source material from a 700 page novel into a 2.5 hour film with budget constraints.
Potter purists lack any knowledge and common sense; they moan and whine about the slightest change, cut and/or addition in the films and are ignorant to the fact that such changes are necessary for the benefit of cinematic style and substance.
They also do not rate a film on its cinematic structure (EG editing, cinematography, pacing, score etc...) but on how much it was like the book.
Basically, they are generally a group of ungrateful haters, which Jo Rowling would be extremely ashamed to call "fans".

Such acts of purism from the Harry Potter Purists include:
"THE DIRECTOR IS STUPID! I COULD DO BETTA!!!!"
"THAT NEVA HAPPENED IN THA BOOKS??????!!!"
"THE BOOKS ARE SOOOO GR8, WHY CHANGE STUFF FOR THE FILMS!!?!?!?!?!??!"

An apparently very griping character to most of those who read the series of very successful novels he is written in. The series is very popular among younger readers and has been very beneficial in getting younger people to read. However, Harry Potter has yet to prove itself as a good "gateway book" meaning most younger audiences who pick up the series do not continue to read novels (or other media) after completing all 7 novels.
A survey was done in 2008 by the English department of UC Berkley finding that 9 out of 10 children (between the ages of 12 and 17) who finished reading the first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, go on to read the next six, but out of those 9 only 2 continue to read on an extra-curricular level. Whether this information is meaningful or not is up to you.

I have only read bits and pieces of the Harry Potter series and from what I gathered the novels are not bad. Harry Potter readers are sort of a cult following, but many have seen the movies and trust me, it is the movies that inspire many people to "hate on" Harry Potter. However many Potter readers have told me that they're very satisfied with the movies and that they follow the book very closely (for the most part except maybe the 6th installment which deviated from the book more than usual). In my opinion if the movies do follow the books as closely as people tell me then to me the books would be very unfulfilling.
