Potter Puppet Pals is a comedy series which parodies the Harry Potter books and films. It originated as a pair of Flash animations on Newgrounds in 2003, and later resurfaced in the form of a series of live-action puppet shows released onto Youtube and PotterPuppetPals.com, starting in 2006.

The video was nominated and won in the Comedy category in the 2008 Youtube Awards with 61.6% of the votes in that category. In the video, Severus Snape hears a strange ticking and, noticing it has a catchy rhythm, begins singing his name to it, followed by other characters. Towards the end, Ron Weasley discovers that the source of the ticking is a pipe bomb that explodes, letting Lord Voldemort sing his name by himself. And yes, I do stand by that this is a great metaphor of the fandom going up in flames and the author remaining alone. :)
