Is Donald Trump America's Voldemort? Stephen Colbert Makes An Allegory After Emma Watson Urges America To Vote

The Late Show host Stephen Colbert makes an allegory of Voldemort, saying Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is like the infamous wizard villain in the Harry Potter novels, after British actress Emma Watson expressed her opinion about the U.S. election on Twitter, wishing she could cast her vote, reports say. Colbert does not wish that America would vote for Donald Trump.

"Emma Watson wrote a note urging Americans to vote. She didn't spend her childhood fighting a dark lord so we could elect one," tweeted the American TV show host, in reaction to Watson's tweet.

Popular for her splendid rendition as Hermione in the film adaptation of the Harry Potter stories, Watson could not help but to dip into the U.S. politics, especially that election is looming. On her Twitter account, the Harry Potter movie sequel actress urged Americans to choose their next leader who will have an impact on women.

"The next president will be able to make decisions about women, about their bodies, about how they are treated at work, on university campuses and at school, about how men treat women and about their rights as citizens," the 26-year-old Brown University alumna tweeted, adding that participating in the election affects how young people form their ideas of gender.

Juggling between acting, modelling and being an activist, Watson hinted having friends whom she thinks of as family prompted her to share her thoughts on the election. On her note on Twitter, she opined that neither a country's wealth nor democracy nor ethno-religious identity is its most reliable indicators of peace and prosperity, but how well its women and girls are treated.

The election in the U.S. is always a hot topic, often mired with mudslinging and other controversies, political or social. Eleven days before America determines the next leader, both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton respectively triples efforts in convincing the electorate to vote for them. In a report from USA Today, Voldemort has already been used a few times to compare public figures.
