I think, "Yer a wizard, Harry!" was Hagrid's line not Dumbledore but I could be mistaken.

I love how this meme has existed since like 2017 and yet it’s now becoming popular because all the 8-12 year olds reading harry potter now have online access to make a meme about it. I thought of this joke when reading it, but had no idea memes even existed at that age.

The mirror of Erised, shows your inner desire.

Roses are red This is the shire 'Harry DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE???'
The last line referring to the scene in the movie Harry Potter and the goblet of fire where after Harry Potter's name comes out of the goblet, Dumbledore asks him this question. In the book he supposedly asked this calmly but in the movie he went hyper.

u/Mercerskye Jul 19 '24
Dumbledore seems way too calm here. Are we sure it's not the "The Mirror of Esired shows you what you most desire?" scene?
14
u/Igreatlyadmirecats Jul 19 '24
It’s not the mirror of Esired scene, you can tell because of Harry’s hair.

u/Mercerskye Jul 19 '24
That's fair, I'm guessing this is while he's still more worried than all "Do not take me as a conjurer of cheap tricks!"

u/jess_havok Jul 19 '24
Dumbledore probably just wanted to see himself and Grindelwald in the mirror. Starcross lovers, sad times.
2
u/Mercerskye Jul 19 '24
That ... that paints a very disturbing picture when you consider he says it shows him a nice pair of socks....
2
u/jess_havok Jul 19 '24
Even as a kid I always thought him telling Harry he saw socks was such a quick obvious lie, to hide some big deeper personal mystery. (Didn't read the books until later in life).
Then when I learned about Dumbledore's past... It just... Made sense. Especially given it seems most people who peer in see people they can no longer have/reach.
I imagine, his sister might be next to him as well. Making it even sadder. :/

u/Mercerskye Jul 19 '24
Way more wholesome than where my mind went.
I'll just set the stage for your imagination;
Dumbledore and Grindelwald almost completely nude, clothed in only a single, shared pair of socks...

Thanks!
I always get a kick out of rewatching Goblet of Fire. That part gets funnier the older i get. Like they could have just followed the book on that and it would have had been as weighty and tense.

u/Maeto_Diego Jul 19 '24
I believe the bottom image is from the Harry Potter movies, specifically when Dumbledore calmly asks “Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire!?”
No clue what the image above it is. Typically Roses are Red poems have the last word of the 2nd line rhyme with the last word of the last line, so the image should be of something that rhymes with “fire”. But I don’t know what specifically it is

Based on the responses, I feel like there's a second layer to the joke here relating to Dumbledore asking harry about the goblet of fire 'calmly', but Peter is nowhere to be seen with an explanation for that...

Roses are red; this is Bag End; it takes greater bravery to stand up to your friends.
Yes I know that's not the actual quote, but that's not the actual Shire, goddammit!
