In true Halloween spirit, Richard Sherman wore his “Harry Potter” costume, with wand in hand, to Wednesday’s news conference.

SB Nation reports it was actually Sherman's son idea for the Seahawks cornerback to dress up. But there's no doubt Sherman is a legitimate Harry Potter fan:

  • Sherman says “Order of the Phoenix” is his favorite book.
  • He says that Quidditch is pretty tough compared to five quarters of football.
  • He considers himself a Gryffindor and not a Hufflepuff.
  • According to a New York Times article, he went to midnight screenings for the movies.

Seattle Seahawks got first their first tie in franchise history on Sunday against the Cardinals.
