So I just finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which was fan-freakin' tastic. Just amazing. I finished and immediately read all kinds of stuff about it and quickly concluded that I had nothing to add to the conversation. It's a wonderful book and I'm still kind of in mourning.
And then I thought, what do we in the US of A do when one of our favorite series ends? Spinoff! Here's the pitch--Malfoy, having been taken down a peg or two, what with the defeat of the dark lord and familial disgrace and all, decides to leave the UK for some fun in the sun in college in sunny Southern California. And who should wind up as his roommate but Nickelodeon's Josh Peck!
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Draco and Josh!

Think of the comedic possibilities--I like to think about the unlikely pair getting out of a wacky scrape, possibly caused by Draco's evil or Josh's idiocy. Josh bellows, "Hug Me, Roomie!" and Draco responds with "Crucio!" See Josh do his Fred Gwynne imitation as he twitches in the agony of the cruciatus curse! As the episodes go by, their mutual suspicion and/or hatred will turn to begrudging affection. I see a big sitcom audience "awwww" moment when Draco finally gives Josh the hug he's been craving.
Viacom! Jo Rowling! Josh Peck! Call me! Let's get this done!
