Voldemorte is character in fantasy fiction. Voldemorte did not
saction the destruction of Jewish Europe. To say it is the same is
to say "Holocaust never happened" or "Aushwitz was a spa." That is
cruel.

I do believe, however, that the maker of this sticker is not merely
being clever. You might just as well have a bumpersticker, "Percy
flip flops too-- vote Kerry" or "They said Pettigrew was a hero too--
vote Kerry". Do these not raise sronger feelings in you, the HP fan,
than you would otherwise

or t-shirt. I like "Dumbledore votes Green" (not particularly funny,
but...) as well as "Quiditch moms for Democrats."

"Quiditch moms for Democrats" Now that is funny!! I would gladly slap
one of those on my car. Something about supporting Voldemort in any
fashion is just to scary for me! :D
