Harry Potter and the...??

[PDG]

A few days ago there was a very popular thread on NewsToday. It was regarding a new book in the Harry Potter series.

Well, needless to say, the community at NT quickly ran with the thread and made it, ummmm, interesting to say the least. I thought maybe we could have a Harry Potter contest where we make up a fictitious Harry Potter book and create the cover. Humor being highly encouraged.

Below is the link to the direct thread. There were over 1000 replies and I must warn you, some are extremely Not Safe For Work or even small animals. And make sure you're not drinking anything while reading these. You will need to click Next to see replies. You can also go to the front page (http://www.newstoday.com) (on the right side) and click 'Prev' to find the thread from a few days ago.

The only tough part I could imagine would be acquiring the images and not getting sued. I wanted to run this by the community before putting the time into the Themepost. Lemme know what you think.

In case you don't want to click and read through the NSFW material, I cut n pasted a few so you can get the idea....

Harry Potter and the Platform Shoes of Benevolence
Harry Potter and the Underground Meth Lab

That's a really weird way to put a thread together. I like the idea though PDG

[PDG]

Yes, their thread is extremely weird and Google doesn't even archive it. That's why I cut n pasted a few for convenience.

I didn't think that anyone would know who P.M. Dawn was by now, that is seriously early 90's. However, I'm with Dave this would be a cool contest. :2cool:

Ditto to the idea! Nice one PDG.

Harry Potter in Neverland .... his most dangerous adventure yet :)

This contest might not be a good idea. She is very protective:

Rowling fights US army over Harry Potter

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/articl...1472447,00.html

... Harry Potter’s intellectual property is owned by the author and the images are owned by the film company Warner Bros.

... The author, who is based in Perthshire and gave birth to her third child last month, is notoriously protective of her image and has set strict embargos on all her Harry Potter books.

[PDG]

And take notice that the parody isn't even using real images. It's completely illustrated with little to no likenesses. So we don't stand a chance imho.

Ah well. Next! :D

Yes, and we could do the same with Rocky, Lord of The Ring, Batman, Spiderman, Freddy, Alien, Rocky, Lord of The Ring, Batman, Spiderman, Freddy, Alien, Rocky, Lord of The Ring, Batman, Spiderman, Freddy, Alien, heuu did I repeated myself somewhere ?

Hey, let's have a contest in which we use ONLY copyrighted images. The winner would be the one who gets sued for the most money. I got dibs on Frank Sinatra. ;)
