An Actual Conversation
In which I vastly improve a famous movie and book franchise.
Skippy: You know what would make the Harry Potter franchise awesome?
Wife: No idea. What?
Skippy: KISS.
Wife: Kissing? They already have that…
Skippy: No, KISS, all caps. The metal band.
Wife: You mean like on the soundtrack?
Skippy: No, although a Quidditch team taking to field to “Detroit Rock City” would be pretty bad-ass. I mean like, if the members of KISS were running Hogwarts.
Wife: ….?
Skippy: There are four members of the band, so each one could be in charge of a different house. And all of the robes could be replaced by leather, with chrome spikes.
Wife: …ok…
Skippy: Just imagine Dumbledore with the Starchild makeup, wearing black armor, throwing up the metal horns, while getting some Gene Simmons tongue action going.
Wife: No. No I’m not going to imagine that.
Skippy: And then Snape could be all “Your metal is weak Mr Potter” and-
Wife: Lalalalala! I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you! Stop ruining Harry Potter for me!
Skippy: You’re totally going to imagine the Dumbledore thing the whole time when the next movie comes out, aren’t you?
Wife: Shut up.

Would the Death Eaters be the “Lick It Up” era KISS, then? Y’know, when they lose the makeup, their credibility and their popularity? Or would that be more GWAR?
Also, GWAR in Harry Potter would be infinitely badass.

I’m too young to remember KISS but I know who they are and the Dumbledore is going to haunt my brain forever and bring back memories of that awful fanfic My Immortal.

No, this doesn’t go far enough! Each of the Houses needs its own House (of Hair) Metal Band.
Nominations are now open to match a band with each House.
