Not a spoiler - a top rate rant.
One of the few pieces I've read within the last few weeks to make me laugh out loud - and several times too. Superb. Some excellent one liners throughout. One I wish I'd have written.
It might be bitter and twisted - but it's still excellent. The tone of the piece was spot on (except for a side reference to Enid Blyton - lashings of ginger beer)
I have to confess - I'll very likely buy the book for my youngest, and then we'll all read it. It's not like my £6.99 or whatever is going to make her noticably richer.
Perfect comedy piece. (Including the title.) Fabulous.
-Cor, what a gushing review!

My hat off to that last sentance. Master stroke.
I can hear the corridors of Hogharts filled with slightly out of key german singing.
Das ist echt super

Yes and I'm blushing Phil. Your'e quite right about the ginger beer so I've changed to to something more fitting.Ta
Well I'm glad I took the trouble to look up the German spelling as you seem to know the lingo MM; glad you liked it.

Engaging thought, Jane. Indeed I have almost expected to see 'Harry Potter and the Sack Full of Cash' finish off the series. No disrespect to Jo Rowling, though. A clever and gifted writer who deserves all the success she gets.
Thanks for your e-mail to which I will reply as soon as I can with the contact addresses. Good to hear you are pressing on in the real world.
Incidently I have to agree with you about the uninspiring look of the Comedy site here. Real 'end of the pier' stuff. Reminds me of a theatre that has gone dark. And I am also sure that you are correct in your observation that it it appears so drab because all the big personalities have moved on. Things go round, however, and I am certain it will attract another bunch of gifted gagsters before long.
Hope you enjoyed Ireland.
Amusing read.
Slan!
Gerard.

| Great idea... the gravy train arrives at Hogwarts... Progress in the real world? Is "Anal Sex Orgy" going prime time? Have they sandwiched you alluringly between Bill Oddie and Graham Norton? Very enjoyable... I hadn't realised Hermione hung out in the boys' toilets. |

Love the concept of this Jane, although never having seen any of the films some of it did go over my ample head. Like Phil says some great one-liners and as always from you, well written. Hope you are submitting LOADS of stuff and not getting too many nasty rejection slips. (IF only)
Good luck

Pretty impressive to precis the plot of all 59 books in a couple of hundred words...
Wonderfully acerbic, loved the idea of them making a porn site with a picture of McGonagall without her hat 
Great stuff

Sorry I'm a bit late with this.
Harry Potter is one of those things that have completely passed me by so some of it went over my head as well. Still enjoyed this though.
A couple of things surprised me: 'The two boys think computers are silly and girley'; also that everyone stopped cheering them when they got blamed for the porn. Doesn't sound like any of the schools I went to!
Particularly liked: 'They are angry with him but decide to forgive him because they are kind-hearted and he is built like a brick shit-house.'
Great stuff. |

I once had a poke at Hairy Pothole but this knocks it into the preverbial cocked hat
