Harry Potter Video Replaces Wands with Guns In Hysterical Fan Edit

A hilarious fan video replaces the wands in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone with guns and makes a sobering point about gun violence at the same time. The movie, which was the first adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s wildly successful novels, starred a host of established British actors, including Richard Harris as Dumbledore, Dame Maggie Smith as Professor McGonagall, Robbie Coltrane as Hagrid and Alan Rickman as Severus Snape.

It also introduced the world to Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, who became the biggest child stars on the planet thanks to their portrayals of the young wizards’ Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley. Throughout the Harry Potter novels and all eight movies, wands are used by the various wizards and witches to perform a wide range of tasks, from cleaning dishes to repairing eyeglasses. However, the wands are also used as weapons, often with deadly intent, making them similar to guns in the human world.

A new fan edit of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, dubbed Harry Potter and the Deathly Weapons, makes the connection even more apparent by replacing every wand in the entire movie with guns. The creator of the project says that it took them over five years to make the parody movie, carefully going through each scene and replacing the wands with guns. At times, the digital replacement is seamless, though it is less successful at others, and the overall result is oddly hilarious. The trailer was pulled from YouTube, but you can still head over to the movie’s official website to view the entire film.

What began as a “tasteless joke” has turned into a passion project. But for those concerned about the disturbing sight of children wielding guns, the creators, who only go by their first names, say that after starting work on the project, they began to dig into Hollywood’s obsession with guns, and research more about the effects of gun violence on communities around the USA. As a result, the fan movie’s website also contains several resources on gun violence and ways to get involved in gun violence prevention.

While it is bizarre to see everyone’s favorite witches and wizards shooting at each other, it does also make a salient point about the insistence on including violent conflict in popular stories, even ones with children as the protagonists. It is also incredibly funny, no matter how tasteless the humor is, though trying to rewatch the entire movie with guns seems like an exercise in unnecessary masochism. Whether you manage to get through the whole film or just the trailer, you certainly won’t look at Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone the same way ever again.
