Off to see Harry Potter this afternoon. I always thought a good story would involve Ron, Hermione, and Old Man Potter from It's a Wonderful Life. ("Say, that Hogwarts place would make a fine subdivision. Might have to poison those weird animals; drag their bodies into the lake. No one has to know. How 'bout it, kids?") Instead of a positive leader and friend, Old Man Potter would serve as a daily moral test. Wearing his Hogwarts uniform, riding around in a wheelchair - placing a broom under the wheelchair so he could cheat at Quidditch - Old Man Potter might prove more than a match for Voldemort and a thorny pest for Dumbledore. ("We could sell that sorting hat to a carnival; make a lot of dough. You only use it once a year. Keep it?!! Why that's a load of sentimental hogwash.")Watch for Old Man Potter and the Magic Slum, coming soon somewhere.

OK, now I'm imagining the Harry Potter story being done by the cast of MASH. General Potter & The Half-Blood Prince?
Oh... turns out I'm not the only one:

Or Harry Potter as a teacher in a class of misfits? Welcome Back, Potter?
I would actually watch the movies if that was how they were. Sort of like Grumpy Old Men, but with magic!
Harry Potter is......in Compton. Don't make me bust a spell in yo ^%$.
