Sean O’Neal: So who is this “Crabbe” guy? He’s like a bully? So he’s like a bully wizard?
Genevieve Koski (without hesitation): He’s a Slytherin—the evil house. One of Malfoy’s friends/toadies/bodyguards. There’s two of them, Crabbe and Goyle.
Sean: Um, okay. Well, he tried to bomb London.
Genevieve: I heard! So method.
Sean: Yeah, what does that mean? Is it really “method”? Does he bomb somebody in the movie?Genevieve: Hmm… I think he might be the one who set off the Fiendfyre, which is, like, unquenchable fire that killed someone. Lemme check.
Sean: Okay… I appreciate this info and everything, but I’m also kind of laughing right now.
Genevieve (without so much as a SPOILER ALERT): Yes, he conjured Fiendfyre trying to kill Harry in the Battle Of Hogwarts, but ended up killing himself. And I don’t care. Laugh away. We both know you’re going to make a Fiendfyre joke in that Newswire, and you have me to thank for it.
Sean: Actually, I’ll probably just do this meta thing where I spell out this whole conversation, since I’m not really keen on making a joke about something called ‘Fiendfyre.’
Genevieve: Good, cite your sources.
Crabbe from Harry Potter was arrested for trying to blow up a bomb in London. This is the conversation that ensued between Genevieve, our Potter expert, and Sean, our Newswire editor.
HA.
Every day
