Footballer dresses as Harry Potter for a press conference

American footballer, Richard Sherman showed his true team spirit by dressing up as Harry Potter for his weekly press conference, according to FoxSports.com.

Sherman showed up wearing a robe, glasses and the Gryffindor house tie. He even carried a wand, which he pointed at reporters in the crowd. Huffington Post reported.

Sherman said he dressed up early for Halloween at the request of his son, according to CBS Sports.

“This is a serious occasion ― it’s Halloween,” Sherman told reporters. “My son told me he wanted me to wear something, so it’s happening.”

He added that his favorite Potter film is “Order of the Phoenix,” and that he’s definitely a Gryffindor.

When he was asked why he dressed up as Harry Potter, he answered:

“When you’re a wizard, like we are out here, sometimes you have to show it to the muggles in the world. We’ve got a lot of wizards. My son’s a wizard. Earl Thomas does some magical things. Michael Bennett is Black Santa, but he’s also a wizard. You just have a good time. I just went to Harry Potter Land. That felt like home.”
