Reading seven 400-page books can take quite some time, so luckily you can just watch Harry Potter in 60 Seconds instead. This short video sums up all the important events that happen in the Harry Potter series, with a little exaggeration and some comical parodies.

As the wizardly events are quickly recapped, one might catch a glimpse of the [evil Lord Voldemort](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uno-harry-potter) who has been turned into a cloak with a balloon head. His death is quite tragic, as his balloon head pops and he is sent to [wizard heaven](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hogsmeade-village-collectors) where he is nothing more than an uncooked chicken coated in barbecue sauce.

Harry Potter in 60 Seconds somehow manages to re-create an accurate representation of the books, with a little more comedy and a lot less drama.
