A Harry Potter fan by the name of Tim Stiefler is the creator of 'Wizardhood' -- a single feature-length story that's comprised of all eight of the franchise's films.
Although the summarized version skips over a lot of development, including Harry's tumultuous relationship with the Dursleys, Tim Stiefler pulls key plot points together with Wizardhood and edits them seamlessly. In addition to the flowing transitions, the dialogue is relatively easy to follow, even for those who haven't seen the films or read the books for themselves.
While the condensed version isn't likely to satiate the franchise's fans the same way that the originals might, watching Wizardhood is a great way to reminisce on the legendary characters and plot without devoting an entire day to it.
