You are vindicated!

Taken from an AP article I just read:
"The excitement, anticipation, and just plain hysteria that came over the entire country this weekend was a bit like the Beatles' first visit to the U.S.," Scholastic President Lisa Holton said.

No HP-DH spoilers, but some funny Voldemort hijinks will ensue!

See, I went to Borders the first morning in Chicago, intent upon finding the most direct route and picking up a Voldemort lunch box, as I had heard they had such things. However, I ended up with something better! A Voldemort action figure that looks really, really cool!

I opened it once I got back to the conference room, and we all admired it. Sophie named it "Interpretive Dance Voldemort". Then we examined it a little more closely, especially the robe in back which flares up and out. We were... shocked into laughter upon what we didn't find.

( Thus, these Viv-Voldie Macros from Millicon were born. )

...Or Voldemort has no pants (Voldemort needs no pants!>

I did make a mistake and leave Voldie in the room as I scarpered off for food or something. I returned to this:




I believe Jack's voice balloon reads "Nooo, the Dark Lord be stealin' my hat!" and Voldie's says "Noooo, the pirate be stealin' my pants." My friends are talented and silly.

( Our Voldie does look quite fetching in a hat, though. )

ETA: Shortly after posting this, and giggling in chat about it, Voldie flung himself from the shelf in a fit of pique. He lost his wand this time, and I scolded him that that business is what keeps getting him into trouble! So now he has no pants and no wand.

Until my husband steps on it and finds it with a grimace.

I think Voldie is jealous.
