Rubio super PAC compares him to Harry Potter

Leaders of a pro-Rubio super PAC sent a fundraising memo Sunday evening likening Marco Rubio to the youthful boy wizard Harry Potter and Donald Trump to the evil wizard Voldemort from the Harry Potter book series.

"The results in South Carolina were tremendously good for Marco Rubio," Warren Tompkins and Jon Lerner wrote. "This morning, the media speculation that Donald Trump is unstoppable, is flatly wrong. It misses a central element of this year's Republican nominating contest."

Tompkins and Lerner then spent the bulk of the message to donors building out the analogy of Rubio as Potter and Trump as Voldemort.

"In Harry Potter lore, Voldemort, the Dark Lord, had a secret to his strength. His secret was his horcruxes," they wrote.
