A great villain is hard to come by. Thankfully, some genius reimagined Harry Potter as exactly that and the results are harrowing.

For proper torture, simply Google "Christian Harry Potter" and feast your tired eyes upon the bastardization. Offended by the iconic franchise's totally awesome championing of wizardry and related mystical practices, the author known as Grace Ann published her Christian reworking of the Harry Potter saga on the site FanFiction.net alongside the helpful message "Do you want your kids to read books, but you do not want them to turn into witches?"

Well, the ingenious video above should properly scare the Potter blasphemy out of Ann and fellow wizardry detractors. Gifted to the world by the tedious YouTubers at BloodBlitz, Harry Potter: The Boy Who Kills uses clever editing and a masterful tone of general ominousness to flip our dear Harry into a proper bad guy. Creeptastic grins and excerpted dialogue taken beautifully out of context provide the perfect basis for a very scary Potter.

However, the true horror is still Christian Harry Potter.
