"Sweded" Film Project

What is "Sweding"?
"Sweding" is the recreation of a film in approximately 4 minutes in which all the props and costumes and props are all objects that can be easily obtained by the people making the film. The purpose of "sweding" a film is for a comic effect and the budget is likely to be low or nothing at all. The term came from the 2008 comedy film Be Kind Rewind in which all the tapes in a rental store are erased and Jerry, played by Jack Black, attempts to recreate them, claiming that they came from Sweden and that is why they appear to be different.

My "Sweded" film idea
I would like to Swede  Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as I think that the magical creatures in this film could be created with objects such as socks, which would be extremely entertaining for the audience. I think that it would be easier to recreate in the space we have as the film is set mainly in the grounds of Hogwarts and the one time it is mainly shot elsewhere is on a field, which we have access to.
I think that Harry Potter is a well-known film franchise and therefore people will be able to understand the key parts that we would use in the Swede, a few of these being the portkey which takes Harry and the Weasleys to the Quidditch World Cup and Harry's encounter with the dragon during the Triwizard Tournamen
