...and so we face the final curtain. Or the final book, at any rate - that's right, after 10 years, 7 books, 5 films, and more money than you could normally obtain by legal means, the Harry Potter saga is finally coming to an end. Specifically, it's coming to an end this summer, when the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, is unleashed upon an unsuspecting world. But let's face it - you knew all that already. You'll probably also know that this ending of the series bodes fairly ill for our favourite Dark Lord - these are, after all, children's books, and he is the bad guy. The end of the series rarely ends well for those.
So, since it looks like we're going to see Lord Voldemort cast into an unwanted and much-feared oblivion, we thought we might as well take matters into our own hands, and do it our own way. If Voldemort must die, then it will be at our hands first, and please spare us the innuendo, just this once. Your challenge for this contest is to write or draw the demise of Lord Voldemort. You can do it in any way you please - it can be funny, emotional, sympathetic, dramatic, tragic, anything you like. You can have him blasting his foes right until the end, or you can have him repenting before suffering a Ministry-enforced snog with a Dementor. It's all down to you.
As usual, the full details of the contest, along with a small list of potential challenges for you, can be found at our Contest Page, but the description above should tell you just about all you need to know. Entries should be uploaded to the correct category - 'Contest Entries > FanArt' or 'Contest Entries > FanFic' - with 'Voldemort's Demise Contest' in the description/author's notes, by Sunday 1st April. Good luck, everyone!
