Watch Viral 'Beauty and the Beast' Trailer Parody about Hermione & Lord Voldemort

A video parody of the "Beauty and the Beast" trailer becomes viral as Lord Voldemort plays the role of the Beast and it's the best thing ever! The video right now is making its rounds on the internet since the mash-up is of two fandoms. One being "Harry Potter" and the other being Disney.

The internet is the birthplace of creativity and humor and this "Beauty and the Beast" parody is no stranger to that. Ever since people found out that Emma Watson was going to be playing the rebellious and witty Belle in "Beauty and the Beast", fans have been eyeing the movie very closely. The teaser and the full trailer didn't really help with the nostalgic goosebumps as fans got even more excited. Even Potterheads who are ever supportive of the cast of the :Harry Potter" franchise are getting really hyped.

When a video parody of the "Beauty and the Beast" trailer came up featuring Lord Voldemort as a replacement for the Beast, a varied number of reactions came up. One thing was for sure, the video was shared around different sites after its release. Pistol Shrimps, the creators of the video, posted to their Twitter account and the rest was internet history. Pistol Shrimps is a comedy duo from Norway who is known for their parodies of movies among other hilarious videos.

The editing of the video is pretty impressive as the scenes of Lord Voldemort in "Harry Potter" are overlapped with the scenes flashed in the trailer of "Beauty and the Beast". Since Emma Watson played Hermione Granger, the brilliant best friend of "Harry Potter", fans are having mixed feelings with the fan fiction-esque feel of the video as she was paired with the antagonist of the series, Lord Voldemort.
