Magical Captions for Harry Potter for Instagram Photos

A photo may be worth 1,000 words... but a witty caption can speak for itself, too!

Although I'm still working on my photography skills, one of my favorite things about Instagram is that writing captions give you an opportunity to think creatively. Some people may look at coming up with a caption as a chore or silly, but I genuinely enjoy the process to come up with one.

So I thought today I'd share some captions related to Harry Potter!
