I just cannot watch Harry Potter without thinking of how enormous I would be if I went to that school. They have so much food. All the time. Binge eaters paradise for sure.
I wonder if they have magic spells for weight loss?

I, too, have pondered that question. I’m assuming they stay thin because they live in gigantic castle on top of some steep-ass mountains. And Harry has to watch his figure. He is famous, after all.
And all those pictures in newspapers make him look 10 pounds heavier. Can’t have a chunky hero. Oh no no no.
I’ve thought that too! I think they have magic metabolism. Either that or Quidditch burns calories like spin class led by the crazy blonde chick at my Y.
Harry Potter has always made me so hungry and jealous of the sheer quantity of food they get to eat on a daily basis.
I think the spell for eating a ton of shit and not gaining weight is “Runalotamus!”
mmm I think that spell wouldn’t work on some of us. I think I was hit with Fatassonthecouchamus.
Magic food has no calories. Yes I’m jealous too :)
I’m right there with you! It was hard enough just visiting the theme park at Universal. Pretty sure I gained a couple pounds that day. Without a doubt, I’d be huuuuuge if I went to school there. No filter whatsoever.
I had never thought about it, but now I realize that you are totally right. They have massive quantities of food all the time and it all looks delicious.
I always wondered this when I read the books, I mean it’s not like they have physical education class. What if you weren’t on a quidditch team? What would you do then, run the corridors?
Maybe all that wand waving burns a lot of calories?
They wear robes. Robes hide alot. however i guess it would be silly if you were fighting someone and couldnt move very fast.
but ohhh glorious food!
Good point on the robes. I need to start wearing robes to work so I can just float around with an unrestricted gut.
They even make plain toast look irresistible in that great hall.
Every night of my life I say a small prayer for a magic pill that will let me lose 2 pounds a week while eating whatever I want. The 2 pounds a week is so that the transformation looks natural and people over time will be like “oh wow you look SO GOOD!!!” — I mean, I still earned the compliments right?
How about you get in that ASAP. Then share with me.
The Hufflepuffs and the Slytherins should be fat(ter), they have dorms in the basement/dungeons. The Gryffindors and the Ravenclaws have dorms in the towers, so walking the huge amount of stairs should somewhat alleviate the “problem”. And most of them carry heavy schoolbags around all day, that probably helps too. When I get my letter, I’ll choose G or R, so I don’t get fat.
Very true. Additionally, who wants to be a Hufflepuff anyway?
You mentioned binge eating, which compels me to confess my list of purchases this weekend: $120 in groceries, Thin Mints, Tagalong, $80 in Zumba dvds, Burger King for lunch, and a book about binge eating disorder… the irony of that combination had me laughing my ass off at myself :) I actually read the BED book WHILE eating BBQ buffalo wings and ranch… There may be no hope for me :)
Oh jeez. I’ve been there. Well, at least you’ve identified the problem. Plus you need to get all that eating out of your system before you start recovery right?? Don’t you have to binge and hit rock bottom first? Then start eating right? That’s what I tell myself every three days at least. Well good luck and let me know how that book goes. I hope it isn’t rendered useless because the pages are stuck together with Ranch (not because I’ve ever done that…).
Agreed. My 4 year old boy always says ‘ you notice that Ron is ALWAYS eating!?’ Love it.
I think you already know what I’m going to say. Bravo, amazing post, keep it coming! :-) Treakle tart for me please. And butter beers all. night. long. Maybe it’s like breast feeding: Doing spells just burns a ridiculous number of calories??!!
I’ve always wondered about this too. Even if you (gah!!) take away the sweets, they still eat a lot! And very heavy stuff, as Fleur says. I also wondered about that time of the month… do they have magical tampons? Potions to make the worst cramps go away? So many questions!
But, I did find this Harry Potter workout, for us muggles: http://imgur.com/gallery/RAQJM
So that link didn’t work. I found it on pinterest, so hopefully this’ll work! http://pinterest.com/pin/264586546827956795/
