This is what is said to be the intent, creepy. Doesn’t explain the baby though...

The ceremony then paid tribute to Britain’s National Health Service and its amazing body of children’s literature, as Harry Potter author JK Rowling read the opening to JM Barrie’s classic Peter Pan. To the strains of Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells, a scene of children in hospital beds was overrun by literary villains including Captain Hook, Cruella De Vil, the Queen of Hearts and Voldemort, before a group of flying nannies – reminiscent of Mary Poppins – arrived from the skies to banish the nightmarish characters.

I remember that, and thinking “WTF?”

It was clearly meant as propaganda to influence Americans.

” a group of flying nannies”

You mean witches? If it was a tribute to Britain’s National Health Service, why didn’t the nurses save them? Thank you for looking up the cover story!
