Rowling compared the two and I remembered scoffing a bit. But I just rewatched Deathly Hallows and the first scene with Voldemort with his cabinet taking away Malloys wand felt resonant. My goodness, he is a clown version of Voldemort!

(261 posts)I got the same feeling watching that scene in the movie that I get with Trump. And you end up feeling sorry for Malloy, just like I, to this day, feel sorry for Sessions. I cant believe I feel sorry for Sessions. He tried to use the 1924 immigration act that the Ku Klux Klan vigorously supported as a model for immigration reform for today. But hes such a victim of Trump. Same disregard for people, same inability to feel empathy for anyone but himself. I did not realize he was this bad during the election. Hes just a human black hole.
