Pretentious Hogwarts Portraits

Hipster Harry Potter Teaches You How to Avoid Mainstream Culture

— September 10, 2011 — Pop Culture
I think by the time the third movie came out, Harry and friends got fed up with being mainstream, which may explain their newfound attitude in Rotae’s hilarious Hipster Harry Potter portraits.

The kids from J.K. Rowling’s famed franchise have never looked less enthused than in the brilliantly drawn Hipster Harry Potter illustrations. DeviantArt artist Rotae has depicted the wizards in a pretentious manner that makes you realize that perhaps Hogwarts is a snobby place after all. Each of the portraits portrays several characters looking uninterested, hip and indie with funny comments beneath that reflect their new attitude. After viewing this, don’t be surprised to hear that Hermione has gone vegan, Harry has now grown a handlebar mustache to go with his glasses, and that Ron casually enjoys drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon beer while listening to an awesome band -- that you’ve probably never heard of.
Trend Themes
1. Hipster Culture in Pop Culture - Opportunity for brands to tap into the growing hipster subculture and incorporate it into their products or marketing strategies.
2. Alternative Interpretations of Famous Characters - Potential for artists and creators to reimagine well-known characters in unique and unconventional ways, challenging traditional portrayals.
3. Satirical Commentary on Snobbishness - Opportunity for satire and humor to critique elitism and snobbish attitudes in popular culture and society.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - Artists and designers can find new avenues for creative expression by reimagining well-known characters and incorporating alternative cultural elements.
2. Entertainment and Media - Film, television, and digital media producers can explore diverse interpretations of popular characters and storylines to engage audiences and spark conversations.
3. Fashion and Lifestyle - Fashion brands and lifestyle companies can capitalize on the hipster trend by creating products and experiences that cater to the preferences and aesthetics of the subculture.
