[HPforGrownups]an AOL poll and abbreviations

No: HPFGUIDX 12715

Heidi told us about an AOL poll: "Who's the nastiest Potter character?
  Professor Snape 10704   29.3%

  Dudley Dursley 3188   8.7%

  Uncle Vernon 5756   15.7%

  Draco Malfoy 16923   46.3%

Draco? Worse than Uncle Vernon who has been keeping harry locked in a
closet/room with no food & lied to him for 10 years? How?"

Having read a lot of messages about the impressions of Vernon the thing that
comes up time and time again is that many view him as a caricature and do
not really take him at all seriously. Roald Dahl, and his comic adult
villains, is mentioned in the same breath as UV many times.

Draco however comes across as a bully, used to getting his own way. On top
of this we see Lucius, who comes across as a very evil character, and see
the easy link between teenage Draco and becoming an adult very much in the
mould of his father.



Heidi asked: "QUIDDITCH and FANTASTIC BEASTS (what *are* we doing for
abbreviations? QTTA and FB or FB&WTFT (I prefer the FB, myself))."

I personally would use QTA and FB, simple but effective.
