Professor Snape: @_Snape_

Known from J.K. Rowling’s beloved “Harry Potter” books, Professor Snape is the loathed potions master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Professor Snape shares his sarcasm and wit with Twitter followers, often commentating on pop culture and connecting current events to Harry Potter references. If you are a muggle who is obsessed with the fandom, you will be entertained by Snape’s satirical comments.

The Dark Lord: @Lord_Voldemort7

Tom Riddle, more commonly known as Lord Voldemort, is also from the magical world of Harry Potter. Similar to Professor Snape, The Dark Lord also comments on current events and ties them back to the wizard world, yet he is able to do so in his own snarky way that differs from Snape. You do not need to be a Death Eater to follow Voldemort.

The mischievous minions, made famous by the goofy animated movie “Despicable Me,” share their quirky sense of humor through memes and their gibberish language. No matter what kind of humor you have, scroll through the minions’ feed for a good laugh.
