Now he's courting similar legal disaster by throwing rocks at the sleeping giant that is the J.K. Rowling empire. Rowling jealously protects her literary baby the way a dragon guards its gold (and rightly so).
So I ask you Mr. Parker, was it really worth risking your home and career to make that lame play on Rowling's "expecto patronum" spell? And if it was, couldn't you at least have taken the time to look it up and get it right? It's "patronum," not "patronus." A patronus is what the patronum spell conjures.
By the way, what the hell's the punch line to this strip? Is it that the Wizard over-enthusiastically used magic to refill his wife Blanche's coffee mug, and the arcane energies slightly dirtied her nose? If so, that's a hell of a joke there.
Obivously you are the great and powerful wizard in Potterville and you know nothing about the Wizard Of Id.
ReplyDeleteTo understand this punchline you need to know the Wizards contempt for his wife (Blanch: The Wizard's worse half; his domineering, meddlesome harridan of a wife.) and the unwittingly use of the spell "Expecto Patronum" as the only known defence against Dementors. (you should already know this)
This is actually really funny if your not a know it all Millennial.
Please do some research before bashing this classic humor.
Weird. I'm not a know it all Millennial, and it's still not actually really funny.
ReplyDeleteAlso, "you're." And "Wizard's." And "unwitting."
