So, as usher on duty as ticket-taker, I have the job of dealing with families that are waiting in line for Zookeeper. This includes answering questions for young children who are curious about the giant Harry Potter standee depicting Harry and friends battling Voldemort.

Six-year-old: Why is his spell red and his spell green? Is it because green is evil and red is good?

Me: ("I got this.") No, different spells are different colors. Harry's casting expelliarmus and Voldemort's casting avada kedavra.

Six-year-old: Why doesn't Voldemort have a nose?

Me: ...he thought it looked cooler that way. Some people get tattoos, some people get rid of their noses.

Six-year-old: Why is there a snake there?

Me: That's Nagini. She's one of Voldemort's horcruxes.

Six-year-old: *blinking confusion*

Me: It's like a Pokemon.

It really bothers me that Expelliarmus is the best Harry could come up with. Fight fire with fucking fire, you milquetoast Gryffindor shit. Doesn't have to be one of the three bad ones, but that one Snape came up with was pretty badass.

/this is just a thing with me

Buhaha! You should also make yourself available after the film to answer any further questions as well.

Do kids still follow Pokemon?

It would depress me greatly if they didn't.
