Inasmuch as I now consider myself part of the Harry Potter fandom, I pass this along in the spirit of the season:

"Hermione Got Run Over By A Death Eater"

Tip of the Sorting Hat to Ith.

This is rather funny. It is also very, very wrong.

Regardless of what H.J. Granger might say, I regard the house elves of the Harry Potter series with considerable disdain. From where I sit, they're about as annoying as Smeagol/Gollum in The Lord of the Rings, which is to say that if Voldemort carried out a mass genocide of them, I wouldn't cry a tear.¹

In fact, I'd celebrate and fire off the Dark Mark.

¹ Inasmuch as this Voldemort character seems to be a wimp, he doesn't get the honor of being dubbed 'Dark Lord'. The style manual for this publication notes that only Darth Vader warrants the title 'Dark Lord', usually in the full title of 'Dark Lord of the Sith'. Call it aging fanboy pride, but I figure Vader could take Voldemort easily. Can't cast a spell if you've got no arms to wave a wand and your head's been separated from your shoulders, now can you?
