Product Information

WARNING: THIS ISN'T THE REAL THING...IT'S FUNNIER! "Stop that movie," Headmaster Alpo Bumblemore said, "or Hogwash is history!"Already overrun by brawling, fetid fans of the bestselling Barry Trotter books, Hogwash is certain to be pulled down brick by brick after Barry's new big-budget biopic debuts. So Barry Trotter, Ermine Cringer, and Lon Measly are hauled out of retirement to face their toughest challenge yet. Not only do the twenty-two-year-olds have to elude packs of rabid fans, outwit Barry's sponging godfather Serious, and vanquish their old foe Lord Valumart, they have to face the most powerful enemy of all: Hollywood!

Kurt Andersenauthor ofTurn of the Centuryand cofounder ofSpy MagazineThis book is funny and sharp, but not merely funny and sharp: in its bratty way,Barry Trotteris as energetic and imaginative as the book that inspired it., Sean Kellyauthor ofSaints Preserve Us!and coauthor ofNational Lampoon's 1964 High School Yearbook Parody[This] affectionate, giggle-inducing send-up of the Harry Potter phenomenon is one giant step toward restoring the somewhat debased comedic art form known as parody.

  • Laugh Out Loud Parody

    Whether you love Harry Potter or really, really hate him, you'll laugh out loud at this book. The Harry Potter series gets the South Park treatment here. Barry Trotter's groupies are camped out on the lawn at Hogwash School, making nuisances of themselves. It's up to Barry to stop the release of a movie about his life, which will attract more unwanted attention to the wizardry school. If he fails, 22-year-old Barry will be kicked out of Hogwash's and forced to get a real job. There are references to smoking, drinking, stealing, sex, and various unpleasant bodily functions, but the writing is so cheerfully tongue-in-cheek that older teens and adults familiar with Harry Potter can't help chuckling at Barry.

  • Fans of Harry Potter read this!

    As a huge fan of the Harry Potter books I was drawn to this one. I'm glad I ordered it. It's very cleverly written and ties in well with JK Rowlings works. It was advertised as being a great book for kids...maybe not. At least not for young children. There are quite a few questionable references that are more suited for older teens and older. I look forward to reading more books by Michael Gerber. He's got alot of talent...and may need therapy...but a very good writer.

  • Terrible book

    I loved the series snd was looking forward to the parody. It's terrible. Don't bother.
