I was at the dollar store recently and came across some Harry Potter-themed Valentine’s Day cards. Specifically, they were from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final and most tragic installment of the series. The publicity photos are not exactly what you would call “romantic” – or even “happy.” No, everyone’s sitting around looking pensive.
Something tells me Harry's not thinking about candy hearts right about now.
Hermione just looks depressed.
The text is actually appropriate to the photo, until you remember what happens to Hedwig in Deathly Hallows. Buzzkill!
Nobody gave Ron a Valentine, apparently.
Wait, doesn't that charm contain part of Voldemort's soul? Kill it! Kill it!
Reuse of this photo of Harry is made more amusing by the fact that he appears to be thinking wistfully of Ron.
Ah, but this one is my very favorite:
Magical surprises - like horcruxes!
Loved ones are dying left and right, and the fate of the entire human race rests on your shoulders. Happy Valentine’s Day!
