Mary Poppins to kill Lord Voldemort

That’s right. In the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games 2012 Mary Poppins has been revealed to kill our Lord Voldemort.

This is one report on the event:

A 40-foot Lord Voldemort, evil nemesis of Harry Potter in J.K. Rowling’s books, will kill the happy mood of fantasy children’s literature characters with his arrival trailed by Dementors, the newspaper disclosed.

Then “30 actors depicting Mary Poppins, the magical English nanny, will descend from the roof of the stadium with their opened umbrellas. The nightmare will be banished and happiness restored,” the Times said.

Just before that “jaw-dropping” pageant, nurses will wheel children on 100 hospital trolleys for a choreographed “bed dance.”
