Harry Potter and the Gary Oldman Crossover
I have to say this now or else I'll never get any work done today. By now you may have heard that the cover art for the last book has been released. Naturally this has sparked lots of theorising and wanking about what the scene portrays and might mean, etc. I'm going to
Most people have theorised that this particular part:
indicates the presence of Dobby or Kreacher or some other house elf.
For the cheap seats:
That's what they're referring to.
However, this just couldn't be more wrong. Obviously, JK Rowling was so excited when Gary Oldman was cast as Sirius Black that she decided to write in a cross-over scene wherein the Trio visit Dracula's castle looking for a Horcrux (maybe Voldemort too was in love with Mina in a past life?) and got caught by the Big Bat himself. See?

It's undeniable, people. And Ron and Hermione are obviously freaking out as a recording of Keanu Reeve's attempted English accent is played as an alarm system to the vault, at which their ears started to bleed because, being English themselves, they have no idea what they are hearing. Harry, having absorbed Voldemort's inner Babelfish as an infant on that infamous night, is immune, which is why the vampire has to deal with him himself.
See? It all makes perfect sense.
Also, am I the only one who thinks it would be completely awesome if the Final Battle between Harry and Big V turned out a lot like the end of Van Helsing? Think about it - Voldie could turn into a giant snake, while Harry, as luck and literary genuis would have it, previously having been bitten, could become the one thing that could defeat him - a weremongoose.
