Howdy!
I'm a 22 y/o gal in love with all things Harry Potter! I love plot
debates as much as the next Harry fan, but what I really like to do
is
to make silly, spontaneous comparisons of other entertainment media
to
HP.
Warning: this is really, really stupid. But hell, it gave me a
chuckle
when I thought of it. Here goes... The other day I was channel
surfing
and came across an old cartoon called Inspector Gadget, a childhood
favorite of mine. The basic plot of most episodes is very simple. Dr.
Claw does something illegal. Dr. Claw has two goals: kill Inspector
Gadget, and take over the world. Y'all see where I'm going with this?
Good! Inspector Gadget to the rescue! Gadget bumbles through every
episode, recieving help from Penny and Brain (her dog). Throughout
the
episode, Gadget is completely clueless about his mission and Penny
eventually solves the crime. At the end, everthing turns out okay,
but
Dr. Claw is never caught. Over the credits, you hear him proclaiming
"I'll get you next time Gadget, next time!"
While I don't see any similarity between Harry and Inspector Gadget
(Harry doesn't bumble) I see a slight similarity between Hermione and
Penny. The biggest thing though is Voldemort and Dr. Claw. Its funny.
Both Dr. Claw and Voldie have many followers, a loyal pet, and just
can't seem to finish one simple job. I could easily see Voldemort
saying at the end of each book "I'll get you next time Potter..."
At least Dr. Claw has never been physically defeated.
