Parodies of Harry Potter

The Barry Trotter and the Shameless Parody dustjacket.

The immense popularity and wide recognition of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter fantasy series has led to its being extensively parodied, in works spanning nearly every medium. The franchise holds the record for the most fan fiction parodies, at over 700,000.[1] Some self-described parodies have been targeted by Rowling and her publishers as plagiarism,[2] while others have sold hundreds of thousands of copies without any threat of legal sanction.[3] Misinterpretations of Harry Potter parodies have sparked at least two urban legends.[4][5] Many Harry Potter parodies are self-published; others are put out as part of major comic productions, such as Mad, The Simpsons, South Park, Saturday Night Live and Robot Chicken, all of which have parodied Harry Potter several times. Rowling has also been parodied (and parodied herself) in a number of instances.

  • In "Wiz Kids", the third act of the episode "Treehouse of Horror XII", Lisa and Bart attend Springwart's School of Magickry. Harry Potter is in their class and they must fight against the evil Lord Montymort (Montgomery Burns). Harry, voiced by Tress MacNeille, has only one line: "No, ma'am, it's brimstone", spoken after being accused of chewing gum.[37]
  • Lisa's favorite book series, Angelica Button, is a recurring gag and clearly a parody of Harry Potter
  • In the episode "The Haw-Hawed Couple", Lisa asks Homer to read her Angelica Button book to her for bedtime. Homer, learning that the character Headmaster Greystash will die (à la Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince), hides the fact from Lisa by inventing a happier ending, though Lisa does read the real ending and decides that Homer's was better.[38]
  • In the episode "Smoke on the Daughter", the Simpsons go to the midnight release of the final Angelica Button book. On the ride home from the store, Lisa skims through the book, revealing all of the best parts. Once Lisa reveals that the book ends well the Simpsons exclaim "Yay!" and all except Lisa throw their copies of the book out the car windows.
  • In the episode "One Crazy Summoner" Billy seeks out Nigel Planter because he believes he can speak to snakes; Nigel later corrects him, stating that he cannot speak to snakes, but snacks. Nigel then asks for help winning the affections of Herfefnie Pfefferpfeffer, a parody of Hermione Granger, who ends up falling for Dorko Malfly, a parody of Draco Malfoy, instead.
  • In the episode "Order of the Peanuts" Mandy was able to predict how Nigel Planter would sneak in to the school. She was right in guessing that he'd fill the position of "Defence against really dark things" since it changes every movie. They also commented on the changing of Dumbledore's actor after the second film.

J. K. Rowling parodies

J. K. Rowling's appearance on The Simpsons

J. K. Rowling, the Harry Potter writer, has been parodied several times:

Rowling – or, as the article referred to and credited her, Mrs. J. K. Satan – said that as she sat in a coffee shop one grey day, wondering what to do with her empty, aimless life, it hit her: "I'll give myself, body and soul, to the Dark Master. And in return, he will give me absurd wealth and power over the weak and pitiful of the world. And he did!"
Like The Onion's article on Harry Potter and Satanism, this article too was copied into a chain letter and released as truth onto the web.[5]
