Harry Potter, and also, DOOM!

I've just discovered something. Along with "black cock" and "blonde pink", "Snape head" is a phrase that you should really think about before blithely typing it into the Google image search.

So, yeah. I was building an icon containing "The Condensed Harry Potter" (see below), and needed more Snape expressions. Mais non. So now I'm off the concept totally. Besides, the icon on this post is the only Harry-Potter-related icon I'll ever *really* need.

What brought this on? Whizzed through the new HP book on Saturday waiting for Asmodeus to get fixed up. And liked it, or at least liked it better than the last one, which I think might have been Harry Potter and the Really Shitty Year, or Harry Potter and the Suicide Helpline, or something like that. I generally like these books because they're funny in unexpected, and generally good-natured ways, not because I'm into the deep drama of wars in the Wizarding community or whatnot.

See, people with extraordinary powers using them to deal with normal situations, funny. People with extraordinary powers striving valiantly to save the world, not funny. Like in the Fantastic Four movie -- Mr. Fantastic stretching across the hall for a roll of toilet paper? Funny. Mr. Fantastic stretching around Enraged Villain Dr. Doom in order to Save The World From Certain Death? Seen it.

Anyway, without further ado:


Harry: I think Snape is Evil.
Snape: What's that, Potter? Snarking at teachers? Ten points from Gryffindor!
Harry: See!! Evil!

Snape: *Sneaks off*

Harry: See that, he snuck away! EVIL!!
Dumbledore: No, I'm sure he's alright.

Snape: *returns later in the year, nobody having at all noticed that he's left his classes without arranging for a substitute*

Harry: I bet you were off being EVIL!
Snape: What? Evil? No, I was in the can. Ten points from Gryffindor.
Harry: Damn.

(well, *I* thought it was funny.)

ha!

10 points for the Trinity houseld for "Harry Potter and the Really Shitty Year". I too was a bit annoyed with that book, yet then I remembered teenagers really do behave that way, so it was more or less a good reminder not to have children; although I still plan on having a mini-Drummel at some point. I also wizzed through "Half Blood Prince" Read it in 11 consecutive hours, and my theories put faith in Dubledore's trust in Snape.
