SB Nation reports that it was actually Sherman's son's idea for his dad to dress up. But there's no doubt that 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.
The Seahawks got first their first tie in franchise history Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
