Das Buch ist super lustig, also es gibt einige Stellen wo man wirklich beim lesen lachen muss. Der Inhalt ist auch sehr gut geschrieben und mir wurde auf keiner Seite langweilig, wo ich sagen musste ich lege es weg, dass gab es nicht.

When I first found this book, a parody, I thought it had to be fun, as my sister and I like to make fun of some certain scenes in the Harry Potter books and movies ourselves. For example the scene where Ron is under some love spell in HP6. And I do like to read a parody, as long as it's done properly, and funny and with some respect to the original. (I do really like the musicals Starkid has made about Harry Potter)

 

 

But, I was really disappointed. There were a lot 'jokes' in it that just weren't funny, and there was no story in it at all. I actually liked the first few pages the best, in which is explained that it has nothing to do with JK Rowling. It took me quite some time to finish the book, as I was not interested at all in what was going to happen next. Perhaps I should have read the first books before reading this one, but I don't think I will go and find out.

 

Don't give it a try, it's awful.

am sewing of an evening.

I picked this up at Powell's in the Portland airport during an especially long, uncomfortable flight (4 planes, 2 airlines, 18 hours....) and wound up laughing out loud during my Portland to Minneapolis leg - my seatmate thought I was nuts, but it sure took the edge off the flight!

Don't look to this book for intellectual stimulation, or for a 'sacred' look at Harry in his adulthood. These people are more your every-day Joes, just looking for a way to get by, and stumbling more than they stand. A very relaxing, and relaxed, look at the Potters, by an author who is relaxed enough about himself and his writing to not only poke fun at his characters, but at himself.

Having an especially tough day? Pull this out and have a giggle, you deserve it!

I didn't like it..

As the title suggests this is a parody of the highly successful Harry Potter series. Barry is the “person” that Harry is based on. He sold his story to G.K. Rollins and has never left the Hogwash School of Magic because he is constantly surrounded by his leagues of muddle fans. In an attempt to stop the production of the movie version of one of the books he, Lon Measley and Ermine Cringer have an adventure taking them from England to New York and then on to L.A. This book has some funny moments and is very clever but I would not go out of my way to highly recommend it to anyone. It’s an amusing read for Potter fans and nothing more. Also, definitely not for the kiddies.
