The titular character of one of the world's biggest franchises conquered his foe in reality, but these alternate reality shots take a different look at the story. deathbystapler and Imgur user created these bleak, dystopian photos of the Harry Potter crew being arrested and propaganda-esque photos of Voldemort and the rest of [the villains from the series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-mxxxxxx) brainwashing the public into siding with them. Harry Potter's bounty is ridiculously high and double the 'Galleons' count of the next in line, Draco Malfoy. The photos are a dark sepia-like tone and show the hopelessness of the situation. The propaganda-like photos are also accurate to real-life propaganda photos from previous generations. The photos look realistic and we even get to see the current Neville Longbottom who looks much more suave than we remember. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Alternate Reality Propaganda:** Exploring alternate realities and creating propaganda-style materials for well-known stories or franchises can create a new dimension of engagement and immersion for fans. - **Bleak Dystopian Imagery:** Creating dark, dystopian images of well-known stories or franchises can create a new level of interest and intrigue for fans, as well as offer a unique perspective and creativity for storytelling. - **Realistic Fan Art:** Realistic fan art can offer a new level of appreciation and engagement for fans of well-known stories or franchises, while also allowing for creative exploration and reinterpretation of characters and storylines. ### Where This Applies - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can leverage these trends for engagement and fan interaction, potentially creating new merchandise, experiences, or storylines. - **Advertising/marketing:** The advertising and marketing industry can use these trends as inspiration for unique and creative promotional materials that capture audiences' attention and convey a message in an innovative way. - **Art & Design:** The art and design industry can explore these trends as a source of inspiration for new forms of expression and exploration, as well as potentially integrating realistic fan art into mainstream art exhibits and collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Magic-Themed Card Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uno-harry-potter.md) - [Minimalist Design-Conscious Boot Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-hogwarts-set.md) - [Witty Toy-Brand Horror Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horror-poster.md) - [Immersive Jigsaw Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-jigsaw-puzzle.md) - [Fictional Wizard Collectible Coins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-collection-1.md) - [Wizard-Themed Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopolyharrypotteredition.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Classical Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan.md) - [Fantasy Movie Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-franchise.md) - [Whimsical Magic-Themed Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ministry-of-magic.md)
