LANDOVER, Md. — Mike Evans can no longer squeeze himself into the black Gryffindor robe his mother gave him a few years ago. Like everything else Harry Potter, though, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ second-year wide receiver can’t bring himself to let it go.
“Yeah, I’ve still got it,’’ Evans said of the robe. “I’ve still got a couple of Harry Potter blankets, too. And all the movies, of course. A lot of people wouldn’t think Harry Potter is the kind of thing I’d be into, but I am.
“I love that stuff.’’
Evans hasn’t extended his love for the popular young-adult fiction series to the point he wears an invisibility cloak during games, but no one could be blamed for thinking he had.
