The clever artists at [BuzzFeed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buzzfeed-island) created a series of brutally honest titles, which represent the Harry Potter series. The titles are meant to be humorous and provide fans of the [iconic pop culture phenomenon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uno-harry-potter) a moment to reminisce.

Each of the brutally honest titles should only be read by those who have already indulged in the series. Otherwise, the titles are more of a spoiler for those who haven’t read the books. For example, ‘Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’ has been re-titled ‘Harry Potter and the One Where They Freakin’ Let Peter Pettigrew Get Away.’

The re-worded titles are a modernized twist to a [classic novel series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-jigsaw-puzzle). While the new phrases reveal a portion of the novel, it also draws in the audience to question exactly what is meant.
