I'm the type of person who gets overly immersed into whatever book I'm reading or whatever show I'm binging. Because of this, I got to thinking about what if two of my favorite worlds collided... I also began seeing similarities between some of the "Harry Potter" and "Friends" characters, since I'm currently watching "Friends" on Netflix and re-reading "Harry Potter." Therefore, the only logical thing I could do was figure out who would be BFFs with who if these two worlds actually did collide... You know, because I'm an adult and stuff.
Here you have it:
Minerva McGonagall and Monica Geller
These two are a perfect match. Whether it be living room furniture or young wizards-in-the-making, both of these lady-bosses love everything to be just the way they like it, and if anything gets in the way of their orderliness, watch out! Although, as tough and strict as they may be, they are both some of the kindest people of the Magic and non-Magic worlds.
Rubeus Hagrid and Joey Tribbiani
Though Hagrid may prefer dangerous magical creatures over the ladies, I have a feeling him and Joey would get along swimmingly. Both men are secretly sensitive, despite how they look on the outside... And despite both of them not being the brightest crayons in the box, they care an awful lot about their friends and would do anything to protect them from harm. I also feel as if Hagrid could help Joey with his acting since, you know, Hagrid is most likely one of the most wonderfully over-dramatic characters in the series.
Sybil Trelawney and Phoebe Buffay
Now the reasons I paired these two mystical characters up are simply obvious. I could picture Sybil and Phoebe spending hours upon hours gazing into crystal balls and contemplating the horrific fates of those around them. Seriously, how much more fun could you have?
Filius Flitwick and Ross Geller
I honestly don't know my exact reasoning for these two, but I do know that they would be a great duo. I can just picture them skipping through a magical field somewhere or sipping on cherry syrup and sodas while discussing what it truly means to be a professor. Am I alone on this?
Gilderoy Lockhart and Rachel Green
Something tells me that Rachel Green, if she were a part of the wizarding world, would be one of those witches who finds herself giggling uncontrollably at any mention of Lockhart’s name (that is, before he confounded himself). I also believe that if the two were to meet, Rachel would be very content with listening to Gilderoy rant about his greatest "achievements," which is, of course, his favorite thing to do.
Remus Lupin and Chandler Bing
Both of these men, in my opinion, are the underdogs. While both are often overlooked by those around them, they actually have a kindness and selflessness in them that isn't seen in many others.
Argus Filch and Gunther... Did they ever say his last name?
Even though Filch isn't really a professor at Hogwarts, I still decided to throw him into the mix because I can see Gunther and him getting along... Well, maybe not getting along, but there are definitely some similarities between the pair. Both slave away, cleaning up after everyone, never getting any acknowledgment... Maybe they could bond over their mutual sorrows. Gunther could talk about his hopeless love for Rachel, while Filch can ponder over why Mrs.Norris is a cat and not a human.
Well, that's all I have. I couldn't come up with a "Friends" character that I could see naturally befriending Professor Dumbledore or Professor Snape, mainly because these two are just extremely distinct entities, and the "Friends" characters just wouldn't be able to handle them. Other than that, I could see some serious friendship potential here.
