Lord Voldemort

[laughs]

It's like Voldemort, eh?

Creed rates

How did you get out there?

There's so much connection, can be so much connection in grief and the loss of somebody that you love.

And, um, I think what you're doing is pretty incredible 'cause it gives other people the ability to be like, "Okay, this isn't this, like, big scary Voldemort in every room." Like, it's something we can face, it's something we can see, it's something we can approach, and maybe it's a little less scary for people to face mortality when there are big conversations and big events happening around the whole thing that we're so afraid of.

Yeah.

No, I think opening up, I think there's two parts to it.

Yeah.

And I didn't say the Voldemort at the Hogwarts battle thing-

Okay

... because we've already done that several times.

And we said early on it was...

We had a bit of the, a bit of the touch of Voldemort, as did in a way.

Early last season, Voldemort was converting every single chance that he got.

Yeah.

And Newcastle have done exactly the same sort of this season, and it catches up to, to you.

Yeah,

Voldemort.

What the heck

is going on

I said, "Yes, run that train, girl."

You said lady in the train is Voldemort here?

Is Vold- [laughs] right.

No.

There's this...

I mean, where do you even begin with it? Like way, 50 years ago, Tom Riddle did some bad shit, obviously with the basilisk, ended up sort of framing Hagrid more or less, but Hagrid was not sent to Azkaban at that point.

Dumbledore kind of protected him, but he was kicked out of school, so his education stopped.

He lives as the groundskeeper years and years and years and years and years go by.

[laughs]

Um, but anyway, after that, um, you know, Voldemort moment at the start of the season [laughs] they've been doing all right.

They have, yeah.

Uh, and I know we spoke on Friday about how amazing it would be for, for Weymouth and Dorch to be neck and neck-

They, [laughs] they didn't hold back.

Like, he's got a pretty great deal on his hands here and signing bonuses are like a, like a, it's like Voldemort, uh, in Ottawa.

[laughs]

You don't talk about signing bonuses in the nation's capital, but they got him.
