Remember how the Sorting Hat almost stuck Harry in Slytherin at the start of his first year? Well, maybe it had the right idea after all.

The trailer above shows The Boy Who Lived in a completely new (and disturbingly effective) light as some sort of demonic, murdering cross between Voldemort and that creepy kid from The Omen.

Created by comedy YouTube channel BloodBlitz, "Harry Potter: The Boy Who Kills" combines creepy music with clever editing. Be warned, though -- after you've watched it, you might not be able to look at Harry in quite the same way again.
