If Harry Potter Was A Hindi Film
Navin of BasKya.com has a number of interesting Bollywoodised plot points from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Here’s one:
#6. Harry, Ron and Hermione are being chased by death eaters and are in danger of being captured. They use the polyjuice potion to convert into Lara Dutta, Mallika Sherawat and Rakhi Sawant and do an item number until the death eaters leave.
I especially like #1, which reminded me of Sholay. And the update with Mosilager‘s suggestion, with Nagini’s melodrama, is also immensely viable.
Speaking of Mosilager, he has a post on how the Harry Potter series would be had it been written by writers other than JK Rowling. The Enid Blyton one is particularly excellent.
