Symptoms are: hallucinations of "dementors", "wizards", and other magical beings, believing that one can fly on a broomstick, waving around a stick seeing if it will make something move, disappear, or change at all, drawing a lightning bolt somewhere on the forehead, etc.

Harry Potter Syndrome

A syndrome someone who is vain, narcissistic, and full of their self often has. Characterized by thinking they're special and somehow very important compared to other "average" people. These people also always seem to get an unbelievable break in hard situations and always come up on top.

Susan: "I'm a Taurus."
Mark: "I'm a Gemini."
Emily: "I'm an Aquarius."
Clark: "I'm an Ophiuchus."
Mark: "What's that?"
Clark: "It's a special Zodiac sign, very few people know of it. Technically I'm a Sagittarius."
Mark: "Or more likely.. you TECHNICALLY have a case of Harry Potter Syndrome."
