LF :

Pretty sure it’s the movement of Avada Kedavra

Ed :

👀

as_brief_as_possible :

kate 🌬️ :

How have I NEVERRRR considered this!!!

Cristina255 :

the one they went with is very merchandisable 👀

M :

Here before people start incorrectly claiming it’s the wand movement for the spell

eda :

i understand why its cartoonish on the CARTOON book covers but why does live adaptation go along with it as well is just 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

KrissyT :

That would be better!! SO MUCH BETTER

CjStockShan90 :

I’ve been saying this for ages!!!!

:

They had to simplify it for the film's so they could do the make up constantly and repeat every scene of every day of filming

just me, Elanor :

I have an actual zigzag Harry Potter scar on my forehead where a shed hit me in a storm a year ago.

TheSpark🍉 :

oh no, it never even occurred to me it could be different and now I'll never be able to unsee it 😳

Marc Fussing Rosbach :

Iconography is far more important than you would think. A simple silhouette that is easily recognised simply works.

Frank_Rabbit :

I think they just wanted it to be easy for kids costumes and stuff

FANATICOS :

Its not just a thunderbolt, its also the wand movement for Avada Kadavra.

natao253 :

Makes so much more sense

Hope McLaughlin :

I also feel like they had a simplify it so they can replicate it for merchandise.

Léonne :

Uh uh UH! 🤣

PTVanV :

I blame the book cover illustrations

Madeleine :

“Shaped like a thunder splash” 😂 you mean like lightning? 😂😂

herbanchicky :

that would have made it way more sense

ShadeTreeFordTechsWife :

That would’ve been 🔥 though

Miss Beeno :

It always used to piss me off how it was off centre too in the movies

🛸 :

But the other one is easier to market
