Backcovertext:
I have to admit, as a parody, this wasn’t quite convincing. However, the book still made me smirk or laugh a couple of times, but it wasn’t really related to the parodic elements taken from Harry Potter, but situational or real-world allusions.
I’ve read the book within a couple of hours during the BookCrossing Read-a-thon 2020, so it’s not a difficult read, but the content isn’t very sophisticated either (that goes for language and story-line). The twists at the end didn’t really add a lot of value value either.

Backcovertext:
“Stop that movie,” Headmaster Alpo Bumblemore said, “or Hogwarts is history!” He moved to the door, then turned back and said, in an almost fatherly way, “Barry, the school is depending on you. If you ever get into a tight spot and think you might not be able to stop the film, I want you to remember one thing...” He put a eczema-ravaged hand on Barry’s shoulder.”...if Hogwash closes you’ll have to get a job.”
