Harry Potter Pathology Test

What could be “wrong” in the Harry Potter universe?

Everyone knows the story of “the boy who lived,” his friends, and the wizarding world that exists alongside ours. Good wins over evil—so what could possibly be wrong?

But if you look a little closer, you can spot patterns of stress, insecurity, and unhealthy coping in characters on both sides of the story.

What problems could wizards go to a psychoanalyst with?

Using a method developed by physicians Sarah E. Shea, MD, and Kevin Gordon, MD, we can take a playful look at the personalities and behavior patterns of familiar characters. You’ll see 12 character “types” in the results.

Take the test to find out which character you relate to most—and what themes might be hiding underneath.
