Vet inte om detta är rätt forum men... sökte men hittade inget om denna underbara film, förutom ett litet inlägg i cannabisforumet."Wizard People, Dear Reader" är ett alternativt soundtrack till filmen Harry Potter och de vises sten som gjorts av serietecknaren Brad Neely. Meningen är att soundtracket ska spelas över filmen, med filmens originalljud avstängt. Brad Neely, som läser in hela filmen, blandar högt och lågt, konstant surrealistiskt och ofta med många popkulturella referenspunkter. Alla karaktärer (i princip) döps om till nya namn och Harry Potter med vänner är nästan alla alkoholiserade.
Det är svårt att förklara men såhär säger Wikipedia:
Detta är absolut värt en titt och går att se på YouTube, här är
kapitel 1 och kapitel 2.
För att själv lägga på ljudet på skivor finns instruktioner här.
Dessutom finns den att ladda ner i bukten, med soundtracket redan utbytt och allt.
Filmen/soundtracket är inte bara riktigt roligt, utan dessutom en intressant studie i vad man kan göra med en film, utan upphovsrätt eller förhoppningar om vinst, bara för att man känner för det. Brad Neely själv säger:

In "Wizard People, Dear Reader," Neely's writing ranges from simple childish mockery of the characters, to criticism of the acting and set design of the movie, to awkward metaphors in the prose of the book, to over-dramatic philosophical speeches. Harry himself is repeatedly referred to as a god, references are made to the "stockpiles of nuclear-level energy" that are his powers, and so on. At one point, Harry calls himself a "beautiful animal" and a "destroyer of worlds". He also repeatedly affirms that he is "Harry fucking Potter". Numerous references are made to characters taking out unseen flasks or drinking alcohol, and Harry is mentioned as being "drunk every day before noon" and producing "many a Wine-Out-of-Nowhere Spell."
Hermione ("Harmony") is repeatedly described as incredibly ugly, Snape ("Snake") is referred to as a hideous woman, and at one point, Neely simply remarks that "Ron loves Twizzlers." (Ron is almost always referred to as "Ronnie the Bear.") A range of other insults see less consistent use, and Harry is also described with various symptoms of dissociative identity disorder, at one point "leaving his multiple personalities in the locker room." The use of spells receives similar twists, with Dumbledore ("Near-Dead Dumbledore") casting the "stand without effort" spell due to his advanced age, while Harry casts the "rarely used winter-b-gone spell" at a scene transition between winter and spring.
The work makes extensive use of simile: Professor McGonagall ("Hardcastle McCormick") is described as having a voice that is "chilling, like a piano made of frozen Windex," while her "eyes float like smears of fish-scales on her candle-wax stump of a head"; the face of Voldemort ("Val-Mart") "moves like a marmalade baby just out of the womb."
Neely segues into multiple fantasy sequences that have nothing to do with what is actually going on in the film.

“I was out at a bar with some friends,” he recalled. “There was this guy playing pool all by himself with headphones and sunglasses on, and we were just having a really fun time postulating, What could he possibly be listening to? And just out of the blue, I started doing that voice talking like he was listening to a book on tape of ‘Harry Potter,’ and ad-libbing ‘Harry Potter’ scenes from what I remembered of the movie.”
That voice, as it happened, was a dead-on impersonation of gravel-mouthed, pre-slam poet Steven Jesse Bernstein. Neely doesn’t expect many people to get that obscure joke, but doing an impression allowed him to make the narrator of “Wizard People” a character in his own right. “If it was just me taking shots at the movie,” he explained, “there’s no story there. But now there’s this mystery element of, Who is this guy?”
Neely’s “naive and sometimes overexcited” narrator tells a story that very closely follows J.K. Rowling’s original one. His main departure is in subtly altering the personalities of the main characters and the natures of their relationships. Also, he keeps getting some of the names wrong. You begin to wonder if maybe he’s just not paying attention.
The result is very different from the gag-fests of precursors such as “Mystery Science Theater 3000″ or Woody Allen’s “What’s Up, Tiger Lily?” “I didn’t want to do ‘Mystery Science Theater,’” said Neely. “Anybody can make fun of a shitty movie or get a few good lines in. What I wanted to do was not make fun of the movie” — which he actually likes — “but build something around that preexisting thing.”
“It seems almost an homage to oral tradition,” said McLaren. “Before we had mass media and electronic media, how people entertained themselves was telling stories. And people would tell the same story, but every person would tell it a different way. You’d add certain things, subtract other things, blend in something else, and that in itself is an art form.”
