Middle Earth inOh my goodness, tht is SO FUNNY! I love Harry Potter books, but Harry is such a WIMP. Honestly, I think that the series would be so much better if Hermione was the main character. She's so much more sensible. …Or maybe I'm just a biased girl.

ImaParticipantMelenie: Actually, no. ZNZ loves HP. So do most of us here. She just understands it has a few flaws, but she loves the series itself. It's why this thread begins with, "As everyone knows, the only thing more fun than mocking things you don't like is mocking things you do."
Silverwing: Actually, I thought that was really funny! It was sort of different from the rest of the story, though, so she may not want to use it, particularly if she already had other ideas. Anyway, yours was still really good!
Aetc says reec. Reeking, recreational wrreaking!-
AnnParticipantPlease post more!!

GermanyDitto!! I'm missing your posts!
-
ImaParticipantI third that!
Aetc has given up. He doesn't think ZNZ will ever post anything more on this thread, and that it will die, and this last post serve as its only (to quote him) "uegi," or eulogy. I certainly hope not!
-
AnnParticipantI agree with Aetc.

ThulcandraBecause I take a perverse pleasure in proving people wrong, I am proud to prevent (That was an intentional malapropism, because that’s howI roll.): Harry Potter and Somebody's Stone, an Annoying Parody: Chapter Four! Usual disclaimers apply: Don't own the series, sorry the spacing is weird, spoilers for everything, apologise for nothing except for the fact that it's probably not very funny. Let's get started!
Vernon: I haz gun!FEAH MEH!
Hagrid: *isdescribed as “a giant of a man” and “the giant”*
JKR: In no way, shape, or form, is that foreshadowing… no…
Hagrid: *bends gunup* *begins cooking* Hello, Harry – Wow, yer fat.
Dudley: Pot meet kettle. Anyway, I’m not Harry! You’d think you’d be able to tell because I don’t have a scar shaped like a lightning bolt!
Hagrid: Oh, yeah.Somehow I forgot Harry’s main defining physical characteristic! Silly me. But, then, ten years is a long time.
Harry: I’m Harry. And you know, I was supposed to have two main defining physical characteristics, but for some reason it was found neccessary to get an actor with blue eyes. I mean, come on, really? And people tell me that I have my mother’s “almond-shaped green eyes” so often, it really does get annoying, but that’s beside the point, the point is that if they can afford to have bridges exploding, all manner of mythical creatures running about, people flying, and any number of other special effects, why the heck couldn’t they get Dan Radcliffe some coloured contacts?
Voldemort: You thinkyou have it rough? You try being played by a bald midget with disgustingly long fingernails and a nose like the Sphinx’s, and then say your actor is bad.
Harry: Point taken.
Ralph Fiennes: HEY!
Daniel Radcliffe: *smirks*
Hagrid: Anyhoozle! Happy Birthday! Have a strange-looking cake that I apparently sat on at some point!
Cake: HAPPEE BIRTHDAE HARRY
Harry: Thanks. But you really can’t spell, can you?
Hagrid: Harry, I was kicked outa school in me third year!
Harry: …You were thirteen. You should have been able to spell by then.
ZNZ: Although Hogwarts doesn’t really offer any spelling classes, or any kind of grammar o rwriting or punctuation or anything. Heck, even their version of mathematics –which only teaches math as it pertains to magic – is an elective. Their history classes are focused on wizards and witches and them only. Forget about science. They don’t offer any foreign languages. No art or music. Am I the only one who thinks that the Hogwarts curriculum is less than well-rounded? It’s certainly not very rigorous.
Hagrid: …Yeah, that aside, I just want to make the point that in canon I could spell. Also I used semicolons, although not on the birthday cake!
Harry: Good for you. So, yeah, who the heck are you?
Hagrid: Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. Isn’t it weird how I expect the kid raised by magic-hating Muggles to know what Hogwarts is?
Harry: …What is it?
Hagrid: *in shock*
Harry: Sorry, sorry! Honestly…
Hagrid: It’s them as should be sorry! I never thought you wouldn’t know about Hogwarts! In retrospect that was kind of stupid of me! Did you never wonder where your parents learned it all?
Harry: All what?
Hagrid: ALL WHAT?
Harry: Are you repeating everything I say? ‘Cuz I really hate it when people do that to me.
Hagrid: Are you repeating everything… Oh, sorry. Anyway! Don’t you know anything about anything?
ZNZ: No, Hagrid, he doesn’t. He will remain in that state for the rest of the septet.
Hagrid: I mean about our world!
ZNZ: So did I.
Harry: *exasperated* Look, if I don’t know about Hogwarts and what my parents learned there, I think you can safely assume I don’t know what world you’re talking about, mkay?
Hagrid: Yeh must know about yer mum ‘n’ dad? You guys are famous!
Harry: NO, okay? I don’t!
Hagrid & Vernon: *shouting match*
Vernon: No! You mustn’t!
Hagrid: I am bigger and stronger than you, and also you are Muggles, so shut up. Harry – yer a wizard.
Harry: I’m a which?
Hagrid: No – a wizard.
Harry: Despite thef act that unexplained magical events have been taking place around me almost since my birth, I am going to find this impossible to believe! This is especially weird when you consider what an arrogant, conceited, and self-important prat I’m going to become in just a few short books!
James: *fondly* He’s going to be just like me.
Snape: Not that that’s anything to be proud of, strutter.
Remus & Lily: Seriously, guys, calm down. This is stupid.
James: Of course, Lily dearest!
Lily: *giggling* Oh, James!
Snape: Bring me a basin! I’m going to be sick!
Fandom: HE’S SO EVIL!
Hagrid: YES you’re a wizard, okay? And a thumpin’ good’un, I’d say, once yeh’ve been trained up a bit. With a mum ’n’ dad like yours, what else would yeh be?
Snape: Believe me, I can list many, many other things he would be.
Hagrid: You shut up too, Snivellus. Harry! Letter!
The Letter: We’ve accepted you to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, like there’s anyone we don’t accept. There’s your school supply list, and term begins on September 1, and isn’t it just delightful the way we automatically assume you’ll want to come? Anyhoozle, owl us by your birthday. Yours, Minerva.
Harry: What does that mean, owl?
ZNZ: Honestly, of all the questions you could ask…
Hagrid: *pulls owl from coat*
ZNZ: Cruelty to animals! Cruelty to animals!
Hagrid: *writes and sends letter*
Dudley: *ignores everything and eats cake*
Vernon: He’s not going!
Hagrid: Oh, yeah, Muggle?
Harry: Whassat?
Hagrid: Non-magicfolk, against whom we are horribly, horribly prejudiced, as evidenced by the way I say that it was your bad luck to grow up with them.
Petunia: Lily was a freak! No of course I wasn’t jealous of her! Came home every vacation turning teacups into rats!
ZNZ: Lily broke the law!
Petunia: Yes and then she blew up!
Harry: YOU TOLD ME THEY DIED IN A CAR CRASH!
Petunia: If we weren’t telling you about magic then it wouldn’t make sense for us to tell you how they really died, now would it?
Harry: …No, guess not.
Hagrid: LILY AND JAMES POTTER DIE IN A CAR CRASH?
Harry: So, “blew up”? How’d that happen?
Hagrid: Actually, in canon I explained it now…
ZNZ: Yeah, he did, actually, I’d forgotten that was in there.
Hagrid: …but I think Issa gonna wait.
Vernon: I AM NOT PAYING FOR SOME CRACKPOT OLD FOOL TO TEACH HIM MAGIC TRICKS!
JKR: *always was exceedingly caps-lock happy*
Hagrid: NEVER INSULT ALBUS DUMBLEDORE IN FRONT OF ME! BECAUSE YOU MADE ME ANGRY, ISSA GONNA BREAK THE LAW NOW! *gives Dudley pig’s tail*
Dudley: *squeals*
ZNZ: Yeah, that squeal is canon. I was childishly amused by it myself.
Hagrid: Hey, Harry? Could ya not tell anyone I broke the law?
Harry: Wouldn’t dream of it. Hey, why aren’t you allowed to…?
Hagrid: Expelled. In me third year. NO I’m not telling you why.
JKR: *will not let us know until next book*

GermanyI absolutely love it!!! It's so hilarious!! I love the part about the bald midget! Please post more!!

TNÖParticipant17
Deep SpacePfahhhh hahahahahahahahhahahaha bald midget I hate Ralph Fiennes so much.
Also, YAY! CAPSLOCK RAGE!!!
Also also, YAY! LAMPSHADING DREADFUL NATURE OF HOGWARTS CURRICULUM! (which is part of the reason MoR is so wonderful, I think)

ImaParticipantThat was great! I loved it! Also, am I the only one who thinks that if Hagrid (twice as tall as a normal man and either 3 or 5 times as wide–JKR can't seem to make up her mind; did he lose weight or something without anyone noticing?) sat on a cake, it wouldn't be slightly squashed, it would probably be completely flat and scarcely edible? That might be wrong, as I've never actually seen anyone sit on a cake, but I can't believe there wouldn't be a marked difference…
-
AnnParticipant11
Chicago, ILLove it! This is hilarious! Post more! Good point, Ima. I think the cake was in a box, so maybe that's why it was okay.

Afton T.Participant14
Austin TXHey, if ZNZ doesn't write anything on here in the next few weeks, does anyone mind if I add some parts? My cousins videoed something like this using the action figures, so I have a lot of ideas for this. I will now add lots of comments so that this thing will move up to the top.
PS: Spammy says cohn, which is funny, because I knew someone with that last name once. Spammy, *gasps out of horror* you hunt COONS!! Sadness
-
JessParticipantIssa gonna resurrect this with the desperate but probably vain hope that there will be more, because honestly I could read this all day and not get tired of it.
