The editing of this video is the main reason why it was chosen. It's very rare to see a video, or even a fanfic, in which Voldemort wins and, get this, stays winning. Normally it's just Voldemort winning for some indiscernible reason, he has the wizarding world but lo and behold, Harry's still around to stop him with his band of merry men who were only fooling Voldie or some such rot.
Well, this video decides, "Fuck THAT! Here's how it would go." And coming off the back of the shitfest that was DH, this video is so very, very welcome. It's refreshing not just to see Voldemort in charge, but of him actually killing Potter rather than keeping him around. He has very much won and that in itself makes this video a credit to the fandom.
