Barry Trotter and the Shameless Parody

Roman parodique

gollancz 2002

Fatigué de Harry Potter? Vous aimerez Barry, qui à 22 ans est toujours à Hogwash, sa célébrité amenant chaque année un nombre suffisant d'étudiants pour lui y garantir une place à vie. Toutefois, sa vie allant être portée à l'écran, il part avec ses camarades en croisade à Hollywood....

Une bonne idée au départ. Mais un peu fatiguant à la longue quand même 

While the authentic series may or may not be satanic, this book definitely is. It is poorly written, incredibly crass, and contains jokes about bodily functions that would embarass a five-year old. It has been produced as cheaply as possible, using highly toxic ink and substandard paper. Every corner has been cut, from eliminating every 500th word, to employing copy-editors fluent only in Spanish.This book exists soley to make a quick buck.

The trouble with muddles
The Hogwash School fo Wizards was the most famous school in the wizarding world, and Barry Trotter was its most famous student. His mere presence made sure that each year, twenty candidates applied for every open spot, no matter how rapacious Hogwash's tuition became. as a result, Barry and the school had come to an unspoken agreement: regardless of his grades, Barry could remain at Hogwash as long as he wished. He had just begun his eleventh year. This arrangement made studying unnecessary, and turned each evening from a time of frenzied scholarship to one of relaxed contemplation of the day's events. There was also ample time for mischief.
