Publisher Description

Warning: This isn't the real thing...it's funnier!

Stop that movie, Headmaster Alpo Bumblemore said, or Hogwash is history! After someone sells directions to the school to a sleazy Muddle tabloid, Barry Trotter, Ermine Cringer, and Lon Measly are hauled out of retirement to face their toughest challenge yet. Not only do the 22-year-olds have to elude packs of rabid fans, outwit Barry's sponging Uncle Serious, and vanquish their old foe Lord Valumart, they have to face the most powerful enemy of all: Hollywood!

"This was a very funny and inappropriate book. It parodies Harry Potter quite well and does so with childish potty humor. A very good read for all those with a warped mind and a desire to make fun of HP."

    " Shameless parody of Harry Potter. Sometimes the humour is disgusting, but generally it's very laughable book. "

    " Too bogged down with "clever" details that aren't nearly as funny as the narrator thinks they are. Pass. "

    " Literary rubbish, intentionally I guess. Still, I finished it and had some laughing moments. Needless to say, no point in reading it if you haven't read J.K. Rowling's books. "

    " Not as funny as I'd hoped. Enjoyed some of the names (Lord Valumart for one) but all in all, a little boring and hard to push through. "

    " Horrible. Unfunny. "Humour" in this book consists of having silly names for well known people and things. A chore to read. Novelty lasts about 1, maybe 2 pages. [Zzzz] "

    " The Barry Trotter books are parodies on the actual series. They are quite hilarious and worth a read if you have some extra time on your hands. They do however, become a bit wearisome at points, since they, in now way, can measure up to the fabulosity of the original series. "

    " I haven't even gotten to page 40 yet. It seems like Gerber has just gotten loads of random words from an old dictionary and put them anywhere that was too boring. Best to avoid this, methinks. "

    " A funny parody, though definitely not for the kids. Worth a read if you have nothing better to do with your time, but I wouldn't go to any undo effort to find this book. "
