In yet another example of a spinoff being cooler than the actual franchise, DeviantArt member spicysteweddemon has created a whole set of space opera-esque Harry Potter characters, including Overlord Voldemort, General Lucius Malfoy of the Slytherin Alliance, and Captain Harold J. Potter of the ISS Griffin. The various characters’ costumes and titles hint at an interesting backstory.

I particularly like their combination futuristic-looking wand/retro raygun, and I think I prefer this version of Voldemort to the real one.

There’s some great inspiration for Masquerade costumes (not to mention fanfic).
