I love him, but...
World Domination Status: Shall I go into raptures about the AWESOMENESS of Luna Lovegood? I don't think I should really need to.
I love my brother, really I do, but sometimes... Sigh. Well. At least it's easier to discuss Harry Potter things with him now that he's read the books (no longer have to explain to him that no, Wormtail is not a wererat). And yeah, I know I don't say Sirius the way everyone else does (I pronounce it like cirrus), I must protest the fact that, well...
He keeps saying "Valdemart."
Mandy: ...Voldemort.
brother: ....but that's like... Wagner and stuff.
Mandy: I know this is difficult to grasp, but believe it or not, it's not English.
soundingfurrows asks: Is that like the KMart version? Evil Lord on Blue Light Special? bluejeans07 asks: Is it like... an evil Kwiki Mart?
But still! He cannot be taught! He continues to say Valdemart even after I correct him!
brother: Well, I'm thinking of coal. And that o has an a after it.
Mandy: There's no a after the o in Voldemort.
brother: Exactly! So it's Valdemart.
Mandy: What about vole? We say vole, not val.
brother: That has an e at the end, that's why it's vole.
Mandy: What about told? What about old??
brother: *ignores, watches movie*
But he still says awesome things like when he has Sirius tell Harry to destroy the One Ring. Classic.
