Marauders Incorrect Quotes for When You Need a Chuckle: Celebrating Prongs

Whether you like him or not, James Potter is a special man. There aren’t many characters who have the least presence in the canon material but have thousands of works of fan fiction dedicated to them. While we first met him as a man sacrificing himself for his family, the Marauders’ fandom introduced us to a side of James that remained unexplored to us throughout the series – the embodiment of a dad joke.

In honor of this wonderfully idiotic boy’s birthday, we present you with a collection of incorrect quotes celebrating some of his best (read: dumbest) fan-made moments.

Happy birthday, Prongs! Thank you for showing us that one can grow into a better person no matter what kind of crusty teenager they might’ve been.
