  1. Medicinos recommends Larry Bodter met de l'ordre à Phoenix, Arizona by Yan Sored, "Larry Bodter est une autre parodie de Harry Potter mais qui s'aventure dans d'autres mondes comme celui de Buffy contre les vampires et Le seigneur des (see more) anneaux tout en véhiculant une image plutôt méliorative tandis de Barry Trotter dresse un portrait plutôt cinglant de la saga. Deux parodies très différentes l'une de l'autre mais qui peuvent être complémentaires."
  2. aeSentinel recommends The Matewix by Charlie Hamilton James

Though it had its funny bits (I still can't get over the name Lord Valumart), all in all it didn't quite amuse me as much as I'd expected it to. But it kept me entertained while I waited for my car to get fixed, so it was worth reading. :) ( )

Awful. Really.

This book really is ridiculous, but I think it's supposed to be. It has it's funnier moments. ( )

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. ( )

Book description
Hogwash is the most famous school in the wizarding world and Barry Trotter is its most famous pupil. It's been that way ever since J.G. Rollins' Barry Trotter and the Philosopher's Scone broke publishing records worldwide.

So important has Barry become to the school's bottom-line that it has been agreed that he can stay at Hogwash for as long as he likes. Barry Trotter is 22.

Groupie-laden and scholarship-free, life has been good for the perpetual student, but now disaster looms. The movie Barry Trotter and the Incredible Attempt to Cash-in has gone into production and the Marketing Dept. at Wagner Bros. is going into overdrive. Hogwash will be submerged under a tide of souvenir-crazed Muddle fans, torn apart and sold on eBay, stone by mossy stone.

The movie must be stopped. Forget Lord Valumart — Barry, Ermine Cringer and Lon Measely must try to defeat the most powerful force of grasping sleazoids the world has ever known: Hollywood.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0743244281, Paperback)

WARNING: THIS ISN'T THE REAL THING...IT'S FUNNIER!

"Stop that movie," Headmaster Alpo Bumblemore said, "or Hogwash is history!"

Already overrun by brawling, fetid fans of the bestselling Barry Trotter books, Hogwash is certain to be pulled down brick by brick after Barry's new big-budget biopic debuts. So Barry Trotter, Ermine Cringer, and Lon Measly are hauled out of retirement to face their toughest challenge yet. Not only do the twenty-two-year-olds have to elude packs of rabid fans, outwit Barry's sponging godfather Serious, and vanquish their old foe Lord Valumart, they have to face the most powerful enemy of all: Hollywood!
