Harry Potter Nerd-off

When two or more people with the Harry Potter Syndrome have a form of 'battle' either in person, on fb, or over texting, in which they pretend they are one of the characters from the Harry Potter series. They use references from the books, recite spells and cantations, and try to make it as epic as possible. It is all verbal, unless of course if it is in person, in which case they must use the proper wand movements when jinxing or spell casting. A story-line can go along with this, made from the duelers' imaginations. It occurs spontaneouly and inner purpose of it is to show off your knowledge of everything Harry Potter and the aftermath of it is that one or all of the involved duelers will deny ever being involved in such an activity.
Dueler 1: EXPELLIARMUS!!!!
Dueler 2: *ducks behind witch sculpture* BLIMEY! Can't you just accept that Hermione loves me?
Dueler 1: NEVER! You filthy ginge, she's mine! *hears a crack as Hermione apparates*
Hermione: I DONT LOVE EITHER OF YOU!
Dueler 2: Oh yah? AVADA KEDAVRA!
Hermione: *falls to floor dead*
Dueler 1: What a shame... wanna go get some Butterbeers?

Next day:

Dueler 1: We had a Harry Potter Nerd-off last night!
Friend: Oh really?? *snickers
Dueler 2: Nooo... I dont know what you're talking about!

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
