Original Note:
The “figure of death” was Lord Voldemort from the famous Harry Potter series, and he was holding a wand, not a syringe. “The costumes and figures in the ceremony paid tribute to Britain’s National Health Service and to iconic British children’s literature.” https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.9X243Y https://www.reuters.com/article/fact-check/giant-puppet-at-2012-london-olympics-ceremony-is-lord-voldemort-not-death-figu-idUSL1N2SO2PH/ https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/12/08/fact-check-london-olympics-show-lord-voldemort-not-death-figure/6420825001/ https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-611739689592
