The format of Harry Potter and Ron driving away in fear has had a long history as a meme. Over the years, they've been chased by everything from Justin Bieber to the live-action Sonic. Their pursuer never really makes sense in context if you think about it too much, but this has somehow made the meme more popular, causing even stranger characters to be added to the meme, such as in this recent addition.

The meme seems to have reached a stable form now that the young wizards are running away from a hungry, sharp-toothed Tom from Tom and Jerry. Tom is always bent on capturing and probably consuming Jerry the mouse, but he's never successful, so he's not exactly a terrifying character. But he's a part of this meme now. Why? Who knows? There are no answers for these things, and we're guessing you've figured that much out by now. Support the underdogs and cheer for their safety in this collection of recent examples.
