This daft spoof is such a good laugh and doesn't attack harry potter books but has just made a daft big headed character who is detestable but difficult not to enjoy reading about

Well it was okay...
If you read previous books you probably know what to expect from this one. It was a ride but a bit bumpy and quite a few times there were confusing and not logical parts. But I would say it's a nice easy reading if you don't want to think and just read( but please just don't think about the plot and characters, it's not worth it).

Extremely dumb. Mildly entertaining. Minimal Plot. Glad it’s over.
I got this from the library but I still feel like I should get some compensation for having to read this crap. Sadly refunds are not available.

[Quick review from memory until I re-read and re-review at a later date:

Ahhh. At first glance through it is marginally humorous, but you soon realise it really isn't up to much. The standards are low. Unsure if I'll re-read it at all, but it might be interesting to try and write some kind of analytical review]

READ IN ENGLISH

When I first found this book, a parody, I thought it had to be fun, as my sister and my like to make fun of some certain scenes in the Harry Potter books and movies ourselves. But, I was really disappointed. There were a lot 'jokes' in it that just weren't funny, and there was no story in it at all. I actually liked the first few pages the best, in which is explained that it has nothing to do with JK Rowling. It took me quite some time to finish the book, as I was not interested at all in what was going to happen next. Perhaps I should have read the first books before reading this one, but I don't think I will go and find out.

I love that I can give less than a star on this app, because this book does not at all deserve even one. Didn’t laugh once, sorry but this shit is just ridiculous.
