for Christmas I want that fictional man in a Saw trap. I want him forced to cut off a part of himself to survive.

I want both 🙂
that's why this scene is life
My favourite Harry Potter AU is the one (mostly) in my head where over seventh year instead of being "basically prisoners" Voldemort keeps the Malfoys as literal prisoners and lets the Death Eaters have their way with them.
Lucius is chained up in the cellar. Draco forced into the role of a house elf, scurrying around serving and always available for casual torture. Narcissa mind-controlled and given to Rabastan but she keeps throwing off the spells. Not a wand among them.
Let Mulciber loose with his creative Imperius stylings. Let Bellatrix gleefully show how much more important the Dark Lord is than her blood relations. Let Fenrir Greyback have a taste of tender Pureblood meat. Let the Crabbes and Goyles demonstrate how a refined and elegant "good breeding" stacks up against a common fist. Let Snape be helpless to intervene.
And the sheer power perversion potential. Silencio. Petrificus Totalus. Diffindo. Incarcerus. Flagrante. Transfiguration into a ferret. Healing magic. Legilimency. Shrinking. Creating rooms without doors. Human transfiguration. False memories. Erased memories.
They could be destroyed.
And then Voldemort falls.
