Here’s a list of your favorite Harry Potter characters reacting to the presidential election from beginning to end:
When word first got to the Wizarding World about the chosen candidates of the election.

If you didn't (and/or still don't) support Donald Trump, at least support the notion of his idea — Making America Great Again. Create YOUR OWN version of it. Yes, he's POTUS for the next four years. But guess what? You're an American forever. You can still make a difference, whether you're red, white, blue, or wizard.
