Video: J.K. Rowling reads 'Peter Pan', Voldemort at London Olympic opening ceremony
A short clip from Friday's opening ceremony of the summer Olympic games in London, where Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling read an excerpt from J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan during the literary bedtime sequence, and as a blown-up version of Lord Voldemort was attacked by a shower of Mary Poppins, has been released online. That can be viewed here (please be wary of the pop-ups attached, and do not click on them).
Do note that Harry Potter actors Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson also recorded videos to show their Olympic enthusiasm, where they wish athletes a fond farewell after events. When those are made available online, we will have them here.
^haha yeah. I wanted a giant Dumbledore to come out and do some duelling with Voldemort.
Great to see Lord Voldemort as a recognized and famous figure of British literature. Thats why he had a place in Olympics ceremony ahead of many other figures.

I also got a little sparkly feeling because I identified all of the literary figures in it.
