Hermione in the 'hood

Posted by Laurel Garver on Friday, January 21, 2011 16 comments
I'm home sick again (apparently I'm all about the two-for-one specials on respiratory infections) but had to share this most excellent Harry-Potter inspired mash-up.



Imagine how many more spins you could do, were the wizarding world to adopt more of our entertainment genres. Auror true crime shows. House elf Upstairs Downstairs manor dramas. Gringotts goblins meet The Office.

What genre or book/film/show would you enjoy mashing-up with Rowling's fictional world?

    Excellent spoof! The Soup did one where they made Harry and Ron have unrequited love. I'm not clever enough to think of what should be done. I just enjoy them when I see them.

    Feel better, Laurel!

    Ahahaha! I've been sick all week too and this cheered me up immensely! Two of my friends are Harry Potter addicts like me and I know they'll love this. Thanks for sharing the laughs!

    I think the Harry Potter world would be hilarious mashed up with "Desperate Housewives," lolol.

    Feel better soon, Laurel!

    Teehee. And House Elf Upstairs Downstairs? Your humorous side isn't effected by your respiratory infection, I see! Hope you feel better soon!
