What if an 11-year-old Harry Potter had told Hagrid and Dumbledore they could f**k right off with all that wizard bullshit? And what if he and his pal Ron Weasley hopped a flight to Los Angeles and devoted the next 20 years to selling drugs and having wacky misadventures?

That is the question this series sets out to answer.

Call us crazy, but we've thought about this a lot, and we're convinced that our version is actually more plausible. The adults in the Harry Potter stories don't exactly give the kid much of a choice: He can either stay in a horribly abusive household or be "rescued" by wizards who immediately saddle him with the responsibility of saving a world he didn't even know existed. It's the equivalent of a fifth grader getting drafted by the Navy SEALs and told that only he can kill bin Laden, because only he has the super soldier genes to pull off the mission (holy s**t, it just occurred to us that the Harry Potter franchise is just a magical version of Ender's Game).
