The Boy Who Lived has been made immortal by the Internet — except this time fans might be seeing him in an entirely different light. YouTube comedian [BloodBlitz](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTaiJD4o7ro) cut scenes from the Potter movies together with eerie music and leading voiceovers to paint Harry as the villain of the series. It even makes it seem like Expecto Patronum is as dangerous as Avada Kedavra. It’s really quite hard to look at Daniel Radcliffe’s innocent face and think of him as “The Boy Who Kills,” as the video claims. What’ll make you laugh even harder is how innocent Malfoy seems. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4011456/harry-potter-as-villain/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4011456/harry-potter-as-villain/"},"headline":"This Harry Potter Video Will Either Haunt Your Dreams or Make You Laugh","datePublished":"2015-08-26T16:37:43.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:12.292Z","description":"Move over Voldemort","url":"https://time.com/4011456/harry-potter-as-villain/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","Books"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"ashley Ross","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-ross/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4011456/harry-potter-as-villain/","name":"This Harry Potter Video Will Either Haunt Your Dreams or Make You Laugh"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"J.K.
