# Magic Movie Summaries Mashable's Harry Potter Summary Video Occurs in a Weasley 2 Minutes By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-07-18 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-summary References: [laughingsquid](http://laughingsquid.com/the-harry-potter-film-series-explained-in-two-minutes/) & [youtu.be](http://youtu.be/SddmeHIMbvA) For those of you who have been living under a rock and have not watched or read the [Harry Potter series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-collection-2), Mashable has created a somewhat accurate Harry Potter summary in a 2 minute video. Harry Potter in 2 Minutes is part of their ongoing TL;DW project (short for Too Long; Didn't Watch). It is clear by the commentary of Bob Al-Greene and Max Knoblauch they are only summarizing the movies and perhaps themselves have not read the books. With illustrations by Bob Al-Greene and animations from Noah Sterling, this Harry Potter summary is a humorous take on what happens in [eight films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/25th-anniversary-collector-set). It also voices frustration with Lord Voldemort's inability to kill Harry as a baby. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 31% | 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Movie Summary Videos:** Opportunities for sites to create short, humorous summaries of popular film franchises like Harry Potter. - **Visual Summaries:** An exclusive emphasis on illustrations and animations rather than plots of film series will attract viewership. - **TL;DW Projects:** Short-text formats offer opportunities for media sites and content creators to produce summaries of events or complicated pieces in entertainment. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment:** Entertainment companies can create easily digestible summaries of popular franchises like Harry Potter to attract non-readers. - **Online Media:** Digital content creators can do movie summaries in visual formats as well as create short synopses of news stories. - **Social Media:** Facebook, Twitter, and others alike holding their user's attention for more prolonged intervals could benefit from implementing shorter summaries of longer content. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Video Summarizing Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tubesum.md) - [Wizard-Themed Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopolyharrypotteredition.md) - [Whimsical Magic-Themed Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ministry-of-magic.md) - [SEO-Optimized Summary Articles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/youtube-summarizer.md) - [Portable Compact Fantastical Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polly-pocket-harry-potter.md) - [Immersive Jigsaw Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-jigsaw-puzzle.md) - [Video Content Summarizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapsummary2.md) - [Instant Video Summaries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rightclickyoutubesummary.md) - [Iconic Fantasy Character Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-x-harry-potter.md)
