The Barry Trotter and the Shameless Parody dustjacket.

The immense popularity and wide recognition of JK Rowling's Harry Potter fantasy series has led to it being extensively parodied, in works spanning nearly every medium. Some self-described parodies have been targeted by Rowling and her publishers as plagiarism,[1] while others have sold hundreds of thousands of copies without any threat of legal sanction.[2] Misinterpretations of Harry Potter parodies have sparked at least two urban legends.[3] [4] Many Harry Potter parodies are self-published; others are put out as part of major comic productions, such as MAD Magazine, The Simpsons, Saturday Night Live and Robot Chicken, all of which have parodied Harry Potter several times. Harry Potter author JK Rowling has also been parodied (and parodied herself) in a number of instances.

[edit] In English

  • Barry Trotter is a series of Harry Potter parodies written by Michael Gerber and published in the UK in a small hardback format uniform to the new edition of Bored of the Rings. The series to date comprises Barry Trotter and the Shameless Parody (Barry Trotter and the Unauthorized Parody in U.S.), Barry Trotter and the Unnecessary Sequel and Barry Trotter and the Dead Horse. The narrative features the adventures of "Barry Trotter", "Lon Measly", and "Ermine Cringer" who attend the "Hogwash School for Wizardry and Witchcrap". It features strong postmodern metanarrative, as the book concerns their attempts to prevent the making of a movie, but the entire story is revealed to have been a movie itself, which in turn is shown to be a novel being written by Barry Trotter.
  • Hairy Pothead and the Marijuana Stone by Dana Larsen — a marijuana-laden book-length parody was released in the United States and Canada in October 2007 by Cannabis Culture Magazine.[5] The story parallels the original books, but instead of magic, Hairy Pothead is a "Weedster" and attends Hempwards School of Herbcraft and Weedery. Characters include Hempwards Master Head Alwaze Duinthadope and Professors Moruvva McGanjagal and Vacuous Vape. The book received extensive media coverage in Canada upon its release.[6]
  • Henry Potty and the Pet Rock: An Unauthorized Harry Potter Parody by Valerie Frankel[8] is a satire of Harry Potter along with most of children’s literature. The first edition was published in August 2006 by WingSpan Press. The narrative features the adventures of Henry Potty, Really Wimpy, and Horendous Gangrene who attend Chickenfeet Academy. Its narrative is metafictional, as the characters know they’re in a book, which Lord Revolting keeps trying to spoil.[9]
  • Parry Hotter And The Seamy Side Of Magic by K.C. Ellis.[10]

It has more books, than the real series, but every real book has its pair.[14]

[edit] Animated

  • Harry Potter has been parodied and referenced several times on The Simpsons. In "Wiz Kids", the third act of the episode "Treehouse of Horror XII", Lisa and Bart attend Springwart's School of Magickry. Harry Potter is in their class and they must fight against the evil Lord Montymort (Montgomery Burns). Harry actually has one line:
Mrs. Krabappel: Harry Potter, are you chewing gum?
Harry: No, ma'am, it's brimstone. [He blows a small fireball][20]
In the episode "The Haw-Hawed Couple", Lisa asks Homer to read her Angelica Button book to her for bedtime. Homer, learning that the character Headmaster Greystash will die (a la Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince), hides the fact from Lisa by inventing a happier ending, though Lisa does read the real ending and decides that Homer's was better.[21] In the episode Smoke on the Daughter, the Simpsons go to the midnight release of the final Angelica Button book. On the ride home from the store, Lisa skims through the book, revealing all of the best parts. The Simpsons each throw their copies of the book out the car windows.
  • Henry Skreever was the title of a book series in two episodes of the children's television show Arthur. In the first, "Prunella's Special Edition", a new book had just come out entitled Henry Skreever and the Cabbage of Mayhem and all the characters were reading it. The second, "Prunella Sees the Light", featured the Henry Skreever movie, Henry Skreever and the Brick of Wonders. This parody features the villain "Lord Moldywort."[23]
  • In the children's series Cyberchase, the young spellcaster Shari Spotter attends Frogsnorts school of magic under Professor Stumblesnore.[24] The show's main characters must solve a series of magical themed logic problems to save the day.
  • In the episode "Magic in the Air" from the series Clifford the Big Red Dog, Charley becomes so overly obsessed with fictional book character, Peter Poundstone (a series of books about a young wizard similar to the Potter series), that he attempts to use magic to create a diorama (as part of a school assignment).[25]

[edit] Non-animated

  • Harry Potter has been parodied several times on the US skit comedy Saturday Night Live. In all sketches, Harry is portrayed by Rachel Dratch[28] except for the "Welcome Back Potter" sketch in which Harry is played by Will Forte.[29] In addition Hermione Granger was played by Lindsay Lohan. [30]
  • Harry Potter has also been parodied on MADtv, where Triple H played Harry.[citation needed]
  • "Harry Bladder" was a sketch on the children's comedy show All That.[31]
  • In the series Wizards of Waverly Place, the episodes "Wizard School Part 1" and "Wizard School Part 2" features Alex and Justin Russo go to a wizarding summer school named Wiz-tech, where everyone wears glasses reminiscent of the scarred wonder and yellow and black robes. Dumbledore is parodied as Headmaster Crumbs, Draco Malfoy is parodied as Jerko Phoenix, and the villain is Dr. Evilini, who plans on taking Justin's powers. Of course, Quidditch is parodied through a game called 12-ball, similar to pingpong. [32]

[edit] UK television

  • BBC satirical comedy programme Dead Ringers featured Harry Potter in several sketches over the years, at one point spoofing Star Wars, Potter and Lord of the Rings in a single sketch, calling attention to the mysterious old magician who befriends the young male lead character.

See also: Religious opposition to the Harry Potter series
  • The spoof newspaper The Onion has parodied Harry Potter several times, most notably in the article "Harry Potter Books Spark Rise in Satanism Among Children", which satirized the hysteria of the American Christian Right over the supposedly Satanic influence of the novels on the young.[38] Ironically, the article was copied into a chain letter and circulated among Christians as proof of their claims.[3]
  • Another Onion article, "Children, Creepy Middle-Aged Weirdos Swept Up In Harry Potter Craze", referenced the books' popularity among people one would assume were too old for them.[39]
  • Yet another Onion article claimed, "J.K. Rowling Ends Harry Potter Series After Discovering Boys".[40]
  • ONN, the Onion's satirical spoof of television news, carried an item in the lead up to release of the final Harry Potter book entitled "JK Rowling hints at Harry Potter date rape".[41]
  • The Onion also satirized the Harry Potter fandom's fear of spoilers, particularly in the run-up to the final book, with an article stating that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows had itself been attacked for containing spoilers. [42]

Rowling installment of their "Celebrity Cause-of-Death Betting Odds" feature,[44] and an Amazon.com page parody using the "Order of the Phoenix" book as its subject.[50]

[edit] Other publications

  • In their May 2004 issue, the US Army publication Preventive Maintenance Monthly, which instructs soldiers on how to maintain their equipment, featured a spoof comic based on Harry Potter, featuring a character named Topper who resided at Mogmarts School under Professor Rumbledore.[51] The publication received notice from Rowling's lawyers that the comics breached copyright, though the magazine's editor, Ken Crunk, claimed that no violation had taken place, as "The drawings do not look like any of the characters from Harry Potter"</ref>[52]
  • In 2002, the Canadian newspaper National Post, in its satirical column Post Morten, wrote a spoof article claiming that:
Rowling — or, as the article referred to and credited her, Mrs. J. K. Satan — said that as she sat in a coffee shop one grey day, wondering what to do with her empty, aimless life, it hit her: "I'll give myself, body and soul, to the Dark Master. And in return, he will give me absurd wealth and power over the weak and pitiful of the world. And he did!" This article too was copied into a chain letter and released as truth onto the web.[4]
  • A parody of Hogwarts can be seen in Futurama Comics #16. While trying to find a boarding school for Cubert, the crew visits a magic school on the planet Rowling VI. Cubert's insistence that a school cannot exist solely based on faith causes the school and the magical creatures within it to vanish.[53]
  • "Continuing the Magic," in Time by Lon Tweeten, shows possible future book covers laced with pop culture references such as "The Audition of Doom" with Simon Cowell judging Harry harshly, "The Paris Hilton Enchantment" with a trio of familiar Dementors, and "Dark Lord of the Dance" with Voldemort and Harry teaming up on Broadway. [54]
  • In the comic book series "Tozzer", the titular character studies at the acting school of Boarboils', a parody of the name 'Hogwarts'. The character Tozzer also is occasionally depicted with a swastica scar on his forehead, and believes that he is a magician. [55]

  • The Potter Puppet Pals, made by 21 year old Neil Cicierega, is a series of flash animations about Harry Potter. Episodes so far have been about annoying Snape (titled "Bothering Snape") and killing Lord Voldemort with machine guns (titled "Trouble at Hogwarts"). Seven further movies, featuring real puppets ("Potions Class", "Wizard Angst," "The Mysterious Ticking Noise," "Wizard Swears", which features Neville Longbottom as a butternut squash with his face drawn on with a Sharpie, "School Is For Losers" "Awakening of the Incorruptible" and "The Vortex" ) have been released on the popular video sharing site YouTube. The episode "The Mysterious Ticking Noise," based around the concept of a musical ostinato, has become very popular on YouTube, the seventeenth most viewed video of all time on the website, reaching 43,953,285 views as of May 26, 2008.
    • A running gag in half of the Potter Puppet Pals films has been Dumbledore stripping completely naked except for hat randomly in the story. Also, in half of the films Dumbledore is using the exclamation "Alas!" in an apparently incorrect place, parodying Rowling's love for unusual words. [56]
    • There was also a cancelled episode, The Potter Puppet Pals Adventure, that still exists in audio form, and has been animated by a member of the Lemon Demon wiki. In it, Rubeus Hagrid, the Dursleys, and Draco Malfoy were originally slated to appear.[57]

Harry Putter and the Chamber of Cheesecakes an online parody were there is no book but audio and he is parody the second year but Harry is actually in the fifth.

  • String-Studios has produced several Harry Potter parodies on YouTube.com, such as Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Pimp, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Lovin, and Marauders Reunite!. The latter title is the only non-perverse installment, although it does contain some foul language. Half-Blood Pimp has received over 70,000 views.[58]
  • Walmart Watch produced a parody of Harry Potter, Harry Potter and the Dark Lord Waldemart to illustrate their negative perspective of Walmart.
  • On YouTube a user named kiwispud007 created "Harry Potter Head's" which to date has "Dumbledore's Beard", "Albus in Wonderlnd" and, kiwispud007 said on his channel, would soon be joined by "Easter Special", "Harry's Evil Twin" and more.
  • GBT Productions has created 5 Harry Potter spoofs based in the hogwarts library. Harry Potter and the Curse of the Mad Librarian, Harry Potter 2 RON OF THE DEAD, Harry Potter 3 The Big Switcheroo, Harry Potter 4 Harry Potter 2, and Harry Potter 5 The Duel Wizard Tournament.
  • "Harry Potter Bad Roommate" is a video series, made famous by YouTube, where three students live together with Harry Potter as their roommate. The episodes involve Harry trying to cope with a post-modern, non-magical society. For instance, he still believes that Lord Voldemort is after him and that dementors and death-eaters are a constant threat, to the great annoyance of his roommates. The actors include Jon Frederick as Mike, Dawan Owens as Brad, and Mark R. Gerson as Harry. There is a fourth actor whose name changes in the opening credits of every episode. These names include Trip Taylor, Flip Hawkins, Chip Cosby, and Blaze "Rip" Nyugen

[edit] Webcomics

  • The Order of the Stick used a character for strip #253 named Larry Gardener, a student at Warthog's School of Wizardry and Sorcery, who was quickly killed off.[60]
  • In a story arc of webcomic Zebra Girl, Jack, a budding magician, discovers a "Magi-Net" and therein encounters a wizard named Harold DuVase. Jack stumbles over the real nature of the 'Net, dies in a subsequent fight, does a Gandalf-like return, and concludes the story with a bittersweet triumph. The scar is represented symbolically in Harold's glasses.[61]
  • Webcomic Sluggy Freelance's main character is Torg, a bright but uncomplicated fellow whose last name we never learn. In Pete Abrams' first parody, Torg Potter and the Sorcerer's Nuts, Torg is mistaken for the Lastnameless One and brought into Hoggelrynth to learn magic. He subsequently defeats a plot by Professor Santory Snapekin to achieve ultimate power. (Maybe.) Despite Torg's not having any actual magic powers he is embroiled in a plot to turn everybody into chocolate in Torg Potter and the Chamberpot of Secretions. In Torg Potter and the President from Arkansas Blearious Stank escapes from prison, and Torg is considered to be in danger due to being the "Torg Potter of record". Torg is jibported back to Hoggelrynth to take part in the Tri-Gizzard Tournament in Torg Potter and the Giblets with Fiber. The parodies are modelled after the movies, not the books, and follow the movie releases.[62][63][64][65].
  • On the Sev Wide Web, which parodies many pop culture icons, Hairy Plopper is an internet cartoon parodying Harry Potter.[66]
  • The webcomic VG Cats featured a parody of Harry Potter (Wise Advice: Fullmetal vs. Harry Potter} in which Harry finds the Philosopher's Stone at the same time as Edward and Alphonse Elric of the series, Fullmetal Alchemist.

[edit] JK Rowling parodies

JK Rowling's appearance on The Simpsons
JK Rowling's appearance on The Simpsons
  • Rowling made a guest appearance as herself on the American animated sitcom The Simpsons, in a special British-themed episode entitled The Regina Monologues. The dialogue consisted of a short conversation between Rowling and Lisa Simpson, who mispronounces Rowling's name. When Lisa asks her about the ending of Harry Potter, Rowling sighs and says, "He grows up, and marries you. Is that what you want to hear?" to which Lisa dreamingly replies, "Yes!" [75]
  • Rowling is also parodied in an episode of Adult Swim's Robot Chicken, in which a character from the future travels through time in an attempt to completely destroy her chance at fame by giving Rowling a terrible idea for a novel: "A raccoon with an afro named Squiggles who shoots pixie dust from his bunghole".[76]
