Funny Video Imagines Harry Potter as the Villain

You're a villain, Harry.

28 Comments

Move over, Voldemort, there's a new villain in the wizarding world--and it's none other than Harry Potter.

That's the message of this funny new video from BloodBlitzComedy called "If Harry Potter Was The Villain." Watch the video below to see how things would be different if the boy who lived was actually the boy who lived and then turned evil. It's quite funny, and the last image of Potter is pretty chilling.

The video splices together footage from the various Harry Potter movies and mashes up dialogue to make Harry Potter look like the bad guy. One of my favorite lines comes from Dumbledore, who says: "It is not in the nature of Harry Potter to be forgiving." Of course, that line was originally meant to describe Dementors.

Harry Potter will live on through a spinoff called Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the name of an in-universe Hogwarts textbook being adapted by J.K. Rowling for the big-screen. Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne will play the lead role of Newt Scamander in the movie, which recently began shooting.

Hanging with Eddie is like sitting next to a highschooler with a fully charged iPhone.

This is a terrible waste of bandwidth on a game site. It's about time you focused on the subject of games and gamers.

Maybe you could start with a study into the lack of IQ required to click on an obviously non-game related link then bitch about it being non-game related.

Maybe follow that up with a discussion on why certain spoilt little brats believe that if they don't wish to read a certain type of article then nobody else should have the chance to.

I think I'm done with Gamespot. This site is all over the place with it's content now. I chose this article to mention this, because I thought it was the most ridiculous of today's "Gaming News".

RIP Gamespot

@bluepuppy82: It has gotten almost as bad as weather.com. This is what happens when they hire children to do web design and make it "fresh".

@timthegem:

I think the problem is that Eddie treats Gamespot like his own personal blog, posting links and content of things he likes without consideration of subject matter or relevance to the site he's posting them on.

I thought I would like this but it's only one movie and it can't decide between being goofy or being dark and horrific.

One of the most Eddie-tastic non-stories yet. Not game news, not movie news, we're onto "funny video exists" news.

Next will be Gamespot's Cat Video Of The Week, hosted by Daniel Tosh.

The villain in Valkyrie Profile 2 looked just like Harry Potter if I recall right.

The sad part is that none of us can resist the click bait Eddie churns out and we end up supporting the horrible job he does :(. #BUZZFEEDSPOT

I'm gonna be that guy that bitches that this isn't moviespot, it's gamespot. I come here to read gaming news. Anywho, it was sort of a fun trailer but a bit too edited, seemed too choppy and didn't really set context right. They might as well have just done a soundboard job and called it a day.
