Let’s take a cue from The New Republic and re-cast the Harry Potter series with players from the APS cheating scandal! The New Republic did this same exercise with Murdochgate. (It’s a must-peruse.)
Here are some suggestions:
- Alan Judd – Harry Potter
- Heather Vogell – Hermione
- Mark Winne – Ron Weasley
- Richard Belcher – Neville
- Bev Hall – Voldemort
- Cheating teachers – Dementors
- Sam Williams – Cornelius Fudge
- Renay Blumenthal – Wormtail
- Mayor Reed – Lucious Malfoy
- Tamara Cotton – Umbridge
- Mike Bowers – Dumbledore
- Ryan Abbott – Mr. Longbottom
- Richard Hyde – Snape
- Kathy Augustine – Nagini
- Shirley Franklin – Belatrix
- Vincent Fort – Mr. Weasley
- Jeff Dickerson – Filch
The above could use fleshing out with a brief explanation, as The New Republic did with each of their choices, but as I’m an unpaid blogger and not a paid journalist I’ll have to crowd-source out the rest of this fun job.
