About
You're a Wizard, Harry, often intentionally misspelled Yer a Wizard, Harry, refers to a memorable dialogue from 2001 film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in which character Hagrid reveals to Harry Potter that he is a wizard, with Harry reacting with surprise. Online, the dialogue has been used in memes and remixes, with a 2010 Garry's Mod video gaining particular renown.
Origin
On November 16th, 2001, fantasy film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone premiered in the United States.[1] In one scene of the film, character Hagrid reveals to main character Harry Potter that he is a wizard and is to study in Hogwarts (scene shown below), to which Harry responds "I'm a what?"
- You're a wizard, Harry.
- I'm a what?
On July 16th, 2009, YouTube[2] user thejess11 made the earliest known upload of the clip to YouTube (video no longer available).

Spread
On June 17th, 2010, YouTube[4] user GurpageProductions uploaded a Garry's Mod parody of the scene, the best known single instance of the meme (original video no longer available).
