Just noticed the Wormtail/Voldemort photo. Which is which?
ReplyDeleteTruth be known that has more to do with the fact that I saw Goblet of Fire last night in order to catch up before Half-Blood Prince than anything else. I only included Wormtail because he helps to identify shriveled fetus Voldemort. However, I suppose if there was a Wormtail it would have to be Chuck Svokas, Hancock County Administrator for Economic Development.
ReplyDeleteDamn fine analogy.
