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.
