MTV would cast it like this:

Harry, Ron, Neville, Seamus, Dean = The Back Street boys
Percy, Bill, Charlie, Fred and George Weasley= N Sync
Hermione = Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera 
Dumbledore = Mick Jagger
Sirius or Snape = Steven Tyler (Aerosmith)
Uncle Vernon = Ozzy Osbourne
Lockhart = Sting
Nearly Headless Nick= David Bowie

Madonna would be cast as Molly, McGonagall or Madame Hooch.
Hogwarts would look like something out of Marilyn Manson's 
imagination.
