In a series of posts on her Instagram Story on Friday night, Blake Lively showed off her love for the Harry Potter franchise.

In a followup post on her Instagram Story, the actress revealed that she was hoping for a very different result indeed.

"And I fully knew I was gonna be Harry," Blake wrote, along with a cute Sorting Hat emoji.
