Harry Potter Captions To Show Your Squad Some Love, After All This Time

There's no denying that the Harry Potter books and movies have major staying power even two decades later. Not only did they guide our adolescent years into into some transcendent, wizardly wanderlust, but they also highlighted the importance of finding friends you can rely on. Whether your nose was in the books, on the screen, or both (obviously), friendship was an everlasting theme at Hogwarts. If you want to show your besties some love on Instagram, these Harry Potter captions perfectly capture the #squadgoal of Harry, Ron, and Hermione and will give you some major nostalgia.

Honestly, these three are still thick as thieves after all this time. Well, at least the actors are. On Jan. 1, 2022, fans got to watch as Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson reunited for the Harry Potter 20 year anniversary special on HBO Max. In addition to reminiscing on some of the best moments from filming the series, the Harry Potter stars also opened up about cementing their lifelong friendship while growing up together on the grounds of Hogwarts.

The golden trio became the kind of IRL friends that would help each other out, no matter what, just like your own squad would do for you. Even though your besties’ everlasting dedication to your friendship may seem pretty magical, that's genuinely all them, without the spells. After 20 years, it’s pretty clear that Harry Potter isn't going anywhere, and neither are they.

While none of us received our acceptance letter to Hogwarts, we also have some great friends in our lives that we want to pay homage to. Ultimately, that's what it's all about. With the right lumos (aka light-creation spell) and setting, it's only right that you finish off a “mischief managed” picture of you and your besties on Instagram with a heartfelt and meaningful Harry Potter quote. If you don't know where to start (after all, there are plenty of great Harry Potter quotes to choose from), browse through a few of these Harry Potter captions for ideas.
