5 out of 5 stars Bored of Harry Potter? Then this is for you!   February 7, 2002
2 out of 4 found this review helpful

If you're bored with Harry Potter, sick to death of Lord of the Rings, then this spoof is what you need. A very funny parody of the Harry Potter books will have you giggling insanely throughout the book. I'm sure Harry Potter fans will hate it, but that is the whole point isn't it! This is your chance to poke your tongue at JK Rowling and everyone else into Harry Potter. A perfect read for this awful winter weather, buy it and cheer youself up.


5 out of 5 stars Shamelessly stupid, shamefully amusing   December 8, 2006
Max Twain
This book, while resorting to less sophisticated humor quite often, is none the less very entertaining- the author's own "What on earth am I writing" type comments only add to the hilarity. If you like Harry Potter, and can see the funny in crude humors mixed with less so ones, you'll enjoy this book


3 out of 5 stars Childish, but not for children.   September 5, 2003
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

A friend recommended this book to me saying it was hilarious, so I read it. Overall it was disapointing. As someone who knows the books inside out I got all the jokes, but found a lot of them silly, such as "He Who Must Not Be Named" being "He Who Smells" in this. There are also a lot of jokes about bodily functions that I just find stupid. The overall storyline was quite good though. Though this book is childish, it's certainly not suitable for children. There are a lot of references to Barry's groupies and Ermine Cringer's sexual habits.

It's not all childish: there are some funny bits, in fact the funniest bits are probably not part of the story. In the beginning there are author's comments apologising in advance for the book, which are quite amusing and at the back there is a ready-printed letter of complaint where you just tick the boxes for what you want to complain about.

I'd just like to say that I am a big Harry fan, but I'm not one of those overprotective maniacs who can't see the funny side of anything. I like parodies. I'm all for parodies. I think there should be Harry Potter parodies, but come on! You've got to be able to do better than this!
