About This Quote
The saying, “Come here, cat. You wouldn’t want to destroy the space-time continuum, would you? Meow. Meow.” is a parody of the popular Harry Potter series. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was the first book in the series and was published in 1997, and it became an instant bestseller because of its appealing characters and engaging story line.
The books tell the story of a young boy named Harry Potter who learns that he is a wizard and has been hidden by his parents for his own protection. Harry has many friends and mentors who help him defeat Voldemort (a dark wizard) and save his school from destruction. The readers of the book are introduced to a number of magical creatures such as house elves, goblins, centaurs, and even trolls.
The phrase "You wouldn't want to destroy the space-time continuum" is a parody of the famous phrase: "You wouldn't want to mess with our space-time continuum."
