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.

The text is actually appropriate to the photo, until you remember what happens to Hedwig in Deathly Hallows. Buzzkill!

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:
Loved ones are dying left and right, and the fate of the entire human race rests on your shoulders. Happy Valentine’s Day!
