==Explanation==
[[File: Flipped.jpg|right|A flipped version of the comic]]
This comic is a continuation of [[1563: Synonym Movies]] with a new set of movie series. As with the previous comic, the titles aren't always synonymous with the original (Indiana Jones as Professor Whip).

This set includes Wandboy (Harry Potter), Puncher (Rocky), Tropical Boaters (Pirates of the Caribbean), and Professor Whip (Indiana Jones).

The Wandboy series contains:
Wandboy and the Magic Rock (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (or Philosopher's Stone in the UK))
Wandboy and the Hidden Room (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets)
Wandboy and the Fugitive (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban)
Wandboy and the Burning Cup (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)
Wandboy and the Firebird Club (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix)
Wandboy and the Book Owner (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)
Wandboy and the Magic Stuff (1/2) (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1)
Wandboy and the Magic Stuff (2/2) (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2)

The Puncher series contains:
Puncher (Rocky)
Puncher II (Rocky II)
Puncher III (Rocky III)
Puncher IV (Rocky IV)
Puncher V (Rocky V)
Puncher Lastname (Rocky Balboa)

The Tropical Boaters series contains:
Tropical Boaters: Spooky Boat (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl)
Tropical Boaters: Angry Wormface (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest)
Tropical Boaters: Boats Everywhere (Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End)
Tropical Boaters: Vitamin Water (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides)

The Professor Whip series contains:
Professor Whip and the Box of God (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark)
Professor Whip and the Scary Church (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom)
Professor Whip Looks for a Cup (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade)
Professor Whip is in Another Movie (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull)

The title text is a reference to the TV series A Game of Thrones, based on the book series A Song of Ice and Fire.
The Hot and Cold music series contains:
Fun With Chairs (A Game of Thrones)
Royal Rumble (A Clash of Kings)
Knife Blizzard (A Storm of Swords)
Breakfast for Birds (A Feast for Crows)
Samba Serpents (A Dance with Dragons)
