NFL player Richard Sherman did an interview as a “Harry Potter” wizard for Halloween, and it’s pretty magical
Richard Sherman, who plays defense in the NFL for the Seattle Seahawks, is known for putting on a bit of a show for the press. The super-fast athlete is originally from Compton, California, and yesterday at a press conference, he showed that he might have magical origins as well. Richard Sherman came to a press conference dressed as Harry Potter, and it was too adorable. This guy plays football so hard that after a tough game Sunday, he could barely walk off the field. That makes it even more delightful to see that he has a whimsical side.
Richard Sherman told the press that his son wants him to dress up for Halloween, so he did.
What's tougher, 5 quarters of football or Quidditch? 🤔@RSherman_25#Halloween pic.twitter.com/Qy7zCFLHSv

“Five quarters of football is pretty tough, but Quidditch — the beaters, the chasers, trying to find the golden snitch, things like that — that’s tough. Five quarters of football, though, in the elements, I’d say that’d take the cake.”
LOL! We love how deep into character Richard gets as he’s rocking his Griffyndor colors. And we definitely noticed that he’s waving around the Elder Wand. He must have some serious magical powers!
Richard went on to say that he really felt at home at Hogwarts.
“When you’re a wizard like we are out here, sometimes you have to show it to the Muggles out in the world. […] I just went to Harry Potter land, I felt like that was home.”
We can totally feel him on that. While we normally have to live in the real world, sometimes it’s just so much more satisfying to sip a butter beer and eat some Every Flavor Beans.
Richard told the press that he plans to go out trick-or-treating, but he’s got the perfect disguise.
“[My son’s] going to have a mask on, I’m going to have this on, nobody’s going to have any idea. This is all you’ve got to do. Clark Kent did it. You’ve just got to put the glasses on. Bam, no longer Richard Sherman. Can’t even tell anymore, right?”
We won’t tell anyone, Richard, even though now we know your secret!
Happy Halloween, Richard!
