Posted on tumblr by floccinaucinihilipilification, the magical series take well-known scenes and characters from the [Harry Potter books and movies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-collection-2) and puts a funny, Dumbledore-centric take on them that questions the wisdom of the venerable wizard. For example, many of the Harry Potter cartoons poke fun at his inability to ring a doorbell when he dropped Harry off as a baby on his aunt and uncle's doorstep. They also suggest Harry's lightening bold scar was the result of being actually dropped, and not a consequence of the failed killing curse, as Avada Kedavra isn't supposed to leave physical markings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wizard Humor:** Opportunity for humor and satire in Harry Potter fan art that reimagines beloved characters and storylines in a new, comedic light. - **Character Subversion:** Opportunity to subvert traditional narratives and subvert audience expectations by depicting familiar characters in unexpected ways. - **Meme-ification:** Opportunity for fan art to become viral internet memes and take on a life of their own beyond the original Harry Potter fandom. ### Who This Affects Most - **Entertainment:** Harry Potter fan art and memes could be turned into web series, TV shows, or movies for a wider audience to enjoy. - **Merchandising:** Opportunity for merchandise that plays off the humorous and satirical aspects of fan art to appeal to a broader demographic. - **Social Media:** Opportunity for social media marketing campaigns that feature Harry Potter fan art and memes, riding on the popularity of the franchise. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Wizard Toy Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wizard-toy.md) - [Wizard-Themed Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopolyharrypotteredition.md) - [Iconic Fantasy Character Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-x-harry-potter.md) - [Spellbinding Donut Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-collection.md) - [Whimsical World-Inspired Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wizarding-world-cookbook.md) - [Fictional Wizard Collectible Coins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-collection-1.md) - [Enchanting Wizard-Themed Cafés](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-cafe.md) - [Wizardly Candy Toy Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinder-joy-harry-potter-funko-pop-collection.md) - [Wizard-Themed Coffee Creamers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-mate-x-harry-potter.md)
