Parodies of Harry Potter

Harry Potter is spoofed in the Barry Trotter series by American writer Michael Gerber, where a "Barry Trotter" appears as the eponymous anti-hero. On his homepage, Gerber describes Trotter as an unpleasant character who "drinks too much, eats like a pig, sleeps until noon, and owes everybody money."[39] The author stated "[s]ince I really liked Rowling's books […] I felt obligated to try to write a spoof worthy of the originals."[40]
Harry was parodied in the Robot Chicken episode "Nutcracker Sweet" voiced by Seth Green. He is shown to have a Firebolt in a delicate place on himself. Quinton Flynn voices Harry Potter in the episode "Password: Swordfish." When the threat of the puberty creature Pubertis is known, Harry sees Dumbledore about this and receives a stone that might help him fight Pubertis. Upon confrontation with Pubertis, he rubs the stone two times, which summons ghosts to punch it. When it comes to the third time (the stone starts "chafing"), Dumbledore appears and tells Harry that the stone can only be warmed up three times (four if you take a week off) and that Pubertis cannot be destroyed since it lives in everyone. Zac Efron voices Harry Potter in the episode "I Love Her." Criss Angel appears as the substitute teacher for his potions class after Severus Snape suffers a "minor potion accident."
In an episode of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, Potter is referenced twice, once when Jimmy is watching a reel of movies rapidly (Where Hagrid says "You're a Wizard, Harry") and later in the filming for Jimmy's movie, as Jimmy plays a parody of Harry, called "Perry Bladder". Wizards of Waverly Place once referenced Harry, as Justin was wearing a robe and glasses like Harry, which Alex comments on, trying to guess who he looks like ("Barry something", "Jerry something", etc.) Sonny With A Chance also referenced Harry, when Sonny dresses as a wizard, mocking Selena Gomez, and Chad greets her as "Scary Potter." Episodes of The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy has spoofed Harry as Nigel Planter. Unlike Harry, Nigel has an L-shaped scar on his forehead. In an unexpected twist, the episode "Nigel Planter and the Order of the Peanuts" reveals that Nigel is not the child of wizards, but the heir to a major peanut company. Nigel, spoofing Harry's ability to speak Parseltongue, speaks "Partial Tongue", and rather than talk to Snakes, talks to Snacks.
In Epic Movie, a 2007 parody film, where he is played by Canadian comedian Kevin McDonald, Harry is portrayed as being somewhat of a pervert as seen when Harry tries to touch Susan Pevensie's breasts. In the 2008 American comedy film Yes Man, Carl (portrayed by Jim Carrey) attends a Harry Potter-themed party disguised as Harry himself. A series of sketches on All That spoofed Harry Potter with Harry Bladder. Instead of flying on a broom, Harry rode a leaf-blower.[41]
A sketch on MADtv saw professional wrestler Triple H perform a spoof of Harry called 'Triple H Potter' in which the character is invited to be on MADtv. In a scene only vaguely similar to the scene in which Hagrid retrieves Harry from the shack on the island in the first book, he has to deal with both an impersonator of Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Stephanie Weir, who runs herself into a wall. Weir is then slammed into the doorframe of the barn where "Potter" has been staying after asking Triple H to make her 'fly' out of the barn. Harry was mentioned in passing as a 'boy wizard' whose adventures were outstripping the works of a fictional author in Bunnicula meets Edgar Allen Crow.
The Potter Puppet Pals, made by twenty-three year old Neil Cicierega, is a series of flash animations about Harry Potter. Episodes so far have been about annoying Snape with disastrous results (titled "Bothering Snape") and killing Lord Voldemort with machine guns (titled "Trouble at Hogwarts"). Other movies featuring real puppets have been released on YouTube.
