What If ‘Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone’ Was R-Rated?

No, we’re not talking about a porn parody, but instead, a more violent, even vulgar version of Harry Potter. Fine Brothers Entertainment have imagined what that would be like with an animated example of what Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone would have been liked if it had an R-rating. There’s cartoon blood and swearing, so it’s somewhat NSFW. Watch R-rated Harry Potter after the jump!
Here’s the video from Fine Brothers Entertainment:
And of course, there’s plenty of swearing and even a reference to wizard racism from decades past. At one point, Ravenclaw was the house of choice for black witches and wizards. Hermione read about it in Hogwarts, A History. Of course, even though witches and wizards progressed beyond racism, some didn’t learn lessons since grudges persist towards half-bloods.
There’s a part of me that would love to see a much more grown up version of Harry Potter (which could end up being the series adaptation of Magicians on SyFy), but that will never happen in big budget form. But maybe some fan will create a work like the recent Power Rangers short that made the property R-rated and gritty. Until then, this will have to do.
