Entire Harry Potter film gets wands replaced by guns in fan edit

Entire Harry Potter film gets wands replaced by guns in fan edit
May 5 2021 Share

Fan edits of trailers are quite a common trend throughout multiple fandoms. But this new edit might have just topped it all off as a fan decided to tweak the entirety of ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ by replacing wands with guns. Running at 169 minutes, the whole of the film was edited by the dedicated fan to include pistols, machine guns, gun shots in every scene a wand appears in… and then some!

 

The fan released a trailer to showcase exactly what his masterpiece entails. Described as an ‘unsanctioned, licensed content, feature-film-long JOKE’, it allegedly took the fan up to five years to finalise. Uploaded to a website for fans to watch the hilarious rendition, the fans involved stated that ‘though this project started as a tasteless joke, in the wake of mass shootings and other daily horror, we have to ask ourselves if Hollywood pushes gun too hard.’

Tourism and Consumer Protection Minister Clayton Bartolo announced on Facebook that starting June, Cyprus Airways will be introducing flights between Larnaca and Malta. Larnaca is a port city on the south coast of Cyprus, known for its sandy Finikoudes Beach. This positive news comes as Malta gears up for a reopening of the tourism sector in June.

Malta is also likely to be green lit as one of UK’s destinations for the vaccinated or those who have tested negative for COVID-19. Malta is also making international headlines due to offering a scheme to pay tourists to visit the island, making it an immensely attractive destination for many after over a year of lockdowns and restrictions.

UK to offer over-50s third COVID-19 vaccine dose

UK to offer over-50s third COVID-19 vaccine dose
May 5 2021 Share

The UK has announced that everyone over the age of 50 will be offered a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine in autumn in an attempt to completely neutralise the infection threat by Christmas. With more than 50 million doses administered so far and 95% of over 50s vaccinated by April, the first jab of vaccine rollout has been picking up pace in the UK. Chief medical officer for England Chris Whitty stated that the booster regimen could be enough to undercut the threat of virus variants.

Two options are currently under trial, with the first being a specifically modified vaccine to tackle variants and the second being a third jab for the Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca vaccines. More information about the booster shot programme is yet to be issued, but government officials are hoping that this will make COVID-19 fade into the background like any other illness.
