Potter Minus Potter: The Prisoner of Azkaban

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Will the harassment ever end? The Dursley Family are physically abused and rattled, not by wizards this time but by a MEMBER OF THEIR OWN FAMILY. Elsewhere, Hagrid exercises his newfound power as a teacher and Severus Snape outs himself as a drag queen. Uhh, Ron Weasley.

A thrown together Pink Flamingos remix started and completed in less than five minutes (I am not proud of this). It is silly.

Again – as a result of grating boredom – I’ve gone and edited out all mentions and appearances of Harry Potter/Daniel Radcliffe. One thing that’s become clear to me: the better the movies get, the harder it is to edit Harry out. God knows how I’m going to make Potter Minus Potter: The Prisoner of Azkaban.

For Dom’s birthday I embarked on realising an idea we had years ago: removing every mention and appearance of Harry Potter/Daniel Radcliffe from the film series.

Potter Minus Potter: The Philosopher’s Stone is the story of a half-giant courier of illegal items, acting as a middleman between Albus Dumbledore and his behind-the-counter clients. He terrorises a middle-class, average British family while also living a double-life as a caretaker at Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Potter Minus Potter: The Philosopher’s Stone is a cinematic study of schizophrenia, surveillance and the underbelly that lies in every neighbourhood.

In one of our lunch breaks, Dom and I devised a game similar to Pictionary where one person draws a film, literally or otherwise, and the other person has to guess what it is. Since it is so addictive we are bound to play it more often, but here are a few recent ones. See if you can guess them!
