Crap. This could turn ugly. I am speaking and you look mad. I’m scared to see what the entries look like.
Ha! It’s Matthew’s fault. He suggested it.
Travis tries to distract Penny by doing his patented Bill Nighy imitation with the microphone cord
Now that Travis has given his version of events, Penny proceeds to tell the real version.
With a quick almost imperceptible flick of the wrist Penny manages to Imperio Travis in front of an unsuspecting audience
“Is that Rita Skeeter I see? The little bug on the microphone stand?”
“Shall I swat it?”
“And now, I would like to present to you our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for this school year….”
“I can’t believe she wore the same shirt as me. I was told it was a one of a kind!”
Hey Travis,
Do we get to vote on this one too? They’re all good, but I think Eric has perfectly captured the “Oh, s*%#! look in your eyes.
Penny: …which serves to significantly skew the aformentioned complexities previously assumed inherent to Dumbledore’s associations with Grindlewald…
Travis (thinking): That guy looks kinda like Sean Connery…
Michal, your comment got me to thinking. I’m not sure they’ll even include Grindelwald in the DH movie.
I know that’s off topic, but it just came to mind.
“Travis is too modest to tell you, but he caught that snitch just twelve minutes into the game! The Slytherins never knew what hit em’!”
pssst Greg! Go to the other side of the room and tell me if this mic make me look more like Vernon Dursley or Professor Slughorn.
revgeorge,
Your comment brought up another question: if they do include Grindlewald in the movie, who will they get to play him? And at what age? And who will they get to play the young Dumbledore?
I can think of no better actor to play the old Grindlewald than Peter O’Toole. Would that not be ironic?
Penny: …so it turns out TRAVIS is actually caused the delay in the release of Half Blooad Prince! I knew we couldnt trust him!
Penny: “How many times do I have to tell you Neville it’s swish and flick!”
Travis: *Using legilimens to try and figure out why Neville looks so scared.*
“Whistling memorable themes from the Harry Potter films, Penny distracts the audience from Travis’s inconvenient tendency to practice legilimancy when people least expect it.”
Korg20000BC (audience) ‘Can you please tell me exactly what Voldemort was doing to himself at Kings Cross Station?’
Travis ‘I. will. kill. you.’
Angus,
That one works as well.
Twilight? Who said that? Security escort that person from the room. Penny to Travis, “Who do they think they were talking to? Somebody from Mugglenet?”
Greg, for the last time stop interrupting – this is not HP Progs.
Penny: ‘Whoever did this to Travis – I can tell you, it’s not funny. Not at all! Does anybody in the auditory remember how to revoke a Confundus charm?’
Oh Rena, I like that one!!
Don’t miss Travis and Penny in a unique performance of the “Hogwarts Anthem”
“Today on potterwotcher we will desus the anaversy of the downfall of Lord Voldemort” says Penny “Yes. The world has changed sence then. Hermione is now the Minster of Magic,the houselves are getting pain know, Harry is the head of the auror …..” says Travis
Travis: …and you wouldnt believe what I went through to finally get my first copy of Harry P…p..p…………………………………….”
Penny: Travis? Hey. *shakes arm vigorously* ….Sorry ladies and gentlemen it seems like Hermione Granger mistaked him to be Neville Longbottom. He’s won’t be coming back for a while.
here’s my caption:
“Travis: (I want a cup of coffee)”
Penny: “….now if you could turn your attention to Travis who will be demonstrating the correct way to perform the Sloth Grip Roll. Broomstick please…”
“For the last time Travis, I did not put a niffler in your room last night!”
“Oh man… I’m in trouble if she smells that…”
“While Penny discourses on the King’s Cross chapter of Deathly Hallows, Travis tries to picture the WB movie version.”
Ooooo, that’s a good one, librarylily! No wonder Travis looks so grumpy!
“Hey Penny, Jim Dale!”
“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
Travis: ‘Meatball. Meatball. Spaghetti underneath. Raviolli. Raviolli. Great Barrier Reef!
Penny: OOkayy *backing away*. If you want to find out the secret formula to the crabby patty there’s a spongebob convention over there across the street. Right now we’re trying to figure out these treacle tarts.
Travis: Oh crap I forgot what I was about to say…
Penny: THE HILLS ARE ALIVE WITH THE SOUND OF MUSIC!
Penny: CRUCIO!!
Ladies and gentlemen, this competition has now been closed and won. Although it is nice to read new contributions there are no more prises.
