The first book in this series really amused me, I loved all the alternate versions of things in the Harry Potter universe. It got a bit weird when the entire plot completely changed and was then about something entirely different. The second book was okay, it did seem to be rather scraping the barrel. The last book however was rather good. It reminded me of Terry Pratchett in some ways and seemed to be a book in its own right and less a Harry Potter parody. Hilarious. That's all I have to say. Very adult in parts, and constantly pushing the limit, but still a brilliant example of absurdism and parody. 0.094 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
