Of Course Voldemort was defeated by Mary Poppins




Just a quick blog to say utterly amazing I thought the children’s story section was in the Olympics opening ceremony. The way the dark things crept into the children’s dreams and then were defeated by a comforting hand was just wonderful. The giant Voldemort was an impressive spectacle in itself and the child catcher was just as terrifying as I remember him being. Danny Boyle did a magnificent job in capturing the imagination and fear invoked by fine children’s tales, and probably brought back those feelings in the adults watching as well.
