A couple of years ago, during quarantine, I decided to spend my time doing something creative. So, I grabbed an iPad and learned how to create webcomics. As a true Potterhead, I started the series “1000 Ways to End Voldemort,” where I imagine creative ways to end the Dark Lord. Apparently, I’m not that creative with names.
In 2021, I became a father and left the magical drawings somewhere between the diapers and the Peppa Pig plushies. Now that my little girl is 3, I wanted to introduce her to the wonderful magical world I grew up with. So, I started drawing again.
I’ve created over 170 comics so far (you can see them all on my Instagram) and have many ideas for the remaining 830 ways to end you-know-who. I hope you enjoy, laugh, and don’t complain too much about the absolute lore inaccuracies of some of the jokes.

#1 Dark Lords Everywhere
I started creating comics during quarantine. It was that crazy (and also kind of wholesome) time when everyone would go out on their balconies in the afternoon and sing songs or hold yoga sessions and things like that. I also wanted to do something with my spare time, but I sing like a screaming dog and have the flexibility of an 80s Barbie doll… BUT I’ve always enjoyed drawing and telling jokes since I was a little kid.
I followed webcomic accounts like “The Adventures of Business Cat,” “Cyanide & Happiness,” and “Strange Planet,” and thought that I could learn how to draw my own comics on an iPad. And so, my journey began…
#2 She Makes A Great Potions Teacher
#3 Meow
I periodically do HP movie marathons for inspiration (and for fun) and re-read the books from time to time. I do it with a notebook on my lap, and whenever something magical appears, I write it down. It might be a spell, a creature, a character—anything.
When I’m drawing, I pick something from my notes and think of a funny (and nearly always stupid) way to use it to defeat Voldemort. When you’re not focused on being lore-accurate, it gets easier. Also, people send me DMs with their ideas, and that helps, too.
#4 Time Travel Is Tricky
#5 Fly Me To The Ground
I became the father of a beautiful girl three years ago. My spare time was drastically reduced, and it was hard to be consistent with my posts, so I stopped drawing for quite some time. Now she is old enough to enjoy HP, and I’ve started drawing again.
I also sometimes get creative blocks. When that happens, it’s time for a movie marathon again (yay!). Every time I do one, I find new things.
#6 Love Is All You Need
#7 Fantastic Beasts And Where To Let Them End You
I receive a lot of love on social media. People really like the series and send me their own ideas from all around the world: India, Germany, Russia, Spain, the US… It’s amazing.
Also, I grew up with Harry Potter, and creating these comics feels like I’m adding my silly but funny grain of sand to the wizarding world.
