The new Lady Voldemort

My daughter has taken a liking to the Harry Potter films, somewhat disturbingly favouring Voldemort as a character highlight.

She particularly likes the final scenes of the first film, where Voldemort reveals himself from the back of Professor Quirrell's head.

She calls this 'Lady Voldemort', possibly because the Dark Lord is hidden under a carefully constructed turban which Quirrell unwraps to reveal his deformed master.

The Lady Voldemort sounds more like some kind of feminine hair removal product than a devastating oppressor of free magicians.

"Thanks to my new Lady Voldemort, unsightly moustaches are now a thing of the past!"
