Harry Potter Icon

Post by BuckBeaver »

Is it just me or is that icon kind of a rip on Neil Cicierega's Right Said Fred spoof "Sexy Snape". It looks very, very similiar. I was going to post a link to it but I noticed that Harry Potter Puppet Pals has exceeded it's monthly bandwidth.

(BTW if anyone is a HP fan check back at that link Thursday when they should be back online - Potter Puppet Pals is one of my favourite web toons and it's hilarious!)

I think that's exactly what it is. I'd call it "inspired by" rather than a "rip" but either way- I thnk you're right.

"Rip" was a poor choice of words on my part. Have you seen the video? It's so popular Neil's site keeps getting overloaded. Someone really ought to set up a mirror.

Yup, seen it. A friend sent the link my way last week sometime. It's quite magical. Possibly as magical as Harry Potter himself, or Jay Leno's chin.
