My son, Adam, sent this to me in an email and I just couldn't keep it to myself. It's just too funny.
Here are the ways:
Ask him why he 'doesn't have such a cool scar?'
If you ever need to say 'Like taking candy from a baby', be sure to add 'Of course, SOME of us might find that harder than others.' Stare pointedly at him.
Call him 'The-man-who-let-the-boy-live'.
Ask why the Dark Mark couldn't look like something 'more socially acceptable?'
Taunt him about his middle name. 'Marvolo? Whats that, a washing detergent?'
Magic-marker Potter-style glasses on him while he sleeps.
Mock his choice of Quirrel as a 'host'.
Buy him a stress ball.
If you're feeling gutsy, call him Voldie-poo.
Say he 'looked better under the turban'.
Start drawing outlandish parallels between his life story and 'Star Wars'. Talk at great length.
'Imperius' his Death Eaters into a rousing chorus of 'All Things Bright And Beautiful'
Throw him a 'care-bears' themed birthday party.
Tell him what Snape's really up to.
Remind him that he isn't even really alive.
Tell him Wormtail has a crush on him.
Finish all your sentences with the words "in accordance with the prophecy."
Begin any question you ask him with 'Riddle me this!' Emphasis on Riddle.
Ask him why he's afraid of a frail old man with a beard the size of a beehive and can't fight babies.
Follow a few paces behind him, spraying everything he touches with a can of disinfectant.
Be Harry Potter. Be alive.
That is too funny! I must share this with some of my friends.
Thanks for the laugh. Yay for Harry Potter!
