Parodies of Harry Potter
The immense popularity and wide recognition of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter fantasy series has led to its being extensively parodied, in works spanning nearly every medium. The franchise holds the record for the most fan fiction parodies, at over 900,000 Some self-described parodies have been targeted by Rowling and her publishers as plagiarism, while others have sold hundreds of thousands of copies without any threat of legal sanction. Misinterpretations of Harry Potter parodies have sparked at least two urban legends. Many Harry Potter parodies are self-published; others are put out as part of major comic productions, such as Mad, The Simpsons, South Park, Saturday Night Live and Robot Chicken, all of which have parodied Harry Potter several times. Rowling has also been parodied (and parodied herself) in a number of instances. Books

The narrative features the adventures of "Barry Trotter", "Lon Measly", and "Ermine Cringer" who attend the "Hogwash School for Wizardry and Witchcrap". It features a strong postmodern narrative, as the book concerns their attempts to prevent the making of a movie, but the entire story is revealed to have been a movie itself, which in turn is shown to be a novel being written by Barry Trotter. Harry Putter and the Chamber of Cheesecakes by Timothy R. O'Donnell. Hairy Pothead and the Marijuana Stone by Dana Larsen — a marijuana-laden book-length parody was released in the United States and Canada in October 2007 by Cannabis Culture magazine.

A subplot in the six-book sequel series "Phase Two" to Derek Landy's Skulduggery Pleasant series follows a trio of characters based on the protagonists of Harry Potter, named Never, Omen, and Auger Darkly, respectively based on Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter, with the latter referred to as a "Chosen One" supposedly prophesied to kill the all-powerful King of the Darklands. After apparently succeeding in Seasons of War in killing the self-declared "King of the Darklands" the Unnamed, whose death scene parodies that of Voldemort's from the film adaptation, the True King of the Darklands is revealed to be the Child of the Faceless Ones in Dead or Alive. A similar subplot parodying The Twilight Saga was present in the original series. Harry Otter and the Confectioner's Scone by J.G. Michael.

Animated
 The Simpsons:
 In "Wiz Kids", the third act of the episode "Treehouse of Horror XII", Lisa and Bart attend Springwart's School of Magicry, and must fight against the evil Lord Montymort (Montgomery Burns). Harry is in their class, and has just one line of dialogue (provided by Tress MacNeille): after Krabappel accuses him of chewing gum in class he replies "No, ma'am, it's brimstone". Lisa's favorite book series, Angelica Button, is a recurring gag and clearly a parody of Harry Potter:
 In the episode "The Haw-Hawed Couple", Lisa asks Homer to read her Angelica Button book to her for bedtime. Homer, learning that the character Headmaster Greystash will die (à la Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince), hides the fact from Lisa by inventing a happier ending, though Lisa does read the real ending and decides that Homer's was better. In the episode "Smoke on the Daughter", the Simpsons go to the midnight release of the final Angelica Button book. On the ride home from the store, Lisa skims through the book, revealing all of the best parts. Once Lisa reveals that the book ends well the Simpsons exclaim "Yay!" and all except Lisa throw their copies of the book out the car windows. Nigel Planter is a recurring character on The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. He first appeared in the episode "Toadblatt's School of Sorcery", which parodies Animal House as well as Harry Potter. He reappeared in the episodes "Nigel Planter and the Chamber Pot of Secrets", "One Crazy Summoner" and "Order of the Peanuts". The episodes feature Lord Moldybutt, a parody of Lord Voldemort, and whenever someone says his name, something unfortunate happens. Toadblatt's School of Sorcery is a parody of Hogwarts, and the Squid Hat is a parody of the Sorting Hat, and is voiced by "Weird Al" Yankovic and the house of Weaslethorpe, parodying Gryffindor. There is also the opposing Gunderstank house, which is a parody of the Hogwarts house Slytherin. In the episode "One Crazy Summoner" Billy seeks out Nigel Planter because he believes he can speak to snakes; Nigel later corrects him, stating that he cannot speak to snakes, but snacks. Nigel then asks for help winning the affections of Herfefnie Pfefferpfeffer, a parody of Hermione Granger, who ends up falling for Dorko Malfly, a parody of Draco Malfoy, instead. In the episode "Order of the Peanuts" Mandy was able to predict how Nigel Planter would sneak in to the school. She was right in guessing that he'd fill the position of "Defence against really dark things" since it changes every movie. They also commented on the changing of Dumbledore's actor after the second film. In the American Dad! episode, "Dope and Faith", Roger is annoyed at Steve when he starts gloating about how special he is after being told this by a fortune teller at a carnival, and decides to play a prank on him in retaliation. He sends him a fake acceptance letter from Hogwarts, but the address given is actually that of a crackhouse. After Steve "enrols" he still fails to realize this, as he believes the outer appearance of the building is due to enchantments, that the crack operation is potions class, and that the Spanish-speaking dealers are chanting magic words. When Steve "borrows" some "Potions supplies", the dealers follow him home, and Roger convinces him that they are Death Eaters in disguise. Roger manages to defeat them in a shootout, although Steve believes that he himself vanquished them, as he had been wielding a chopstick given to him by Roger which he believed was a magic wand, and he was unable to see what was really going on due to having broken his glasses prior to the battle. Henry Skreever was the title of a book series in three episodes of the children's television show Arthur. In the first, "Prunella's Special Edition", a new book had just come out entitled Henry Skreever and the Cabbage of Mayhem and all the characters were reading it. The second, "Prunella Sees the Light", featured the Henry Skreever movie, Henry Skreever and the Brick of Wonders. This parody features the villain "Lord Moldywort." In the third, "Prunella Deegan and the Disappointing Ending", Marina and Prunella race to see who can finish reading the last book, The Knights of the Bouillabaisse, first. The school of magic that Henry attends is known as "Pigblisters" (Hogwarts). Students participate in the game "Soupitch" (Quidditch), a dangerous, mobile tree is called "The Mangling Maple" (The Whomping Willow), and instead of broomsticks, students ride on flying carpets. In the animated series Cyberchase, the young spellcaster Shari Spotter attends Frogsnorts school of magic under Professor Stumblesnore. The show's main characters must solve a series of magical themed logic problems to save the day. One of The Emperor's New School episodes is called "The Prisoner of Kuzcoban", which is a parody of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban". In the Clifford the Big Red Dog episode "Magic in the Air", Charley becomes so overly obsessed with fictional book character, Peter Poundstone (a series of books about a young wizard similar to the Potter series), that he attempts to use magic to create a diorama (as part of a school assignment). The series The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius features an episode where Jimmy and his friends film a movie. In one of the scenes, Jimmy is Parry Bladder and attends Pigpimples school who needs to defeat a parody of the basilisk in a parody of the Chamber of Secrets. In the Futurama episode "Crimes of the Hot", Al Gore is seen to have written a book called Harry Potter and the Balance of Earth, a more successful version of Earth in the Balance. In the "Wishology" episode of The Fairly OddParents one of Timmy's wishes is a Harry Potter parody. Vicky and Timmy are playing Quiddich, where Timmy portrays Harry, Vicky portrays Lord Moldywart (Voldemort), and Poof is the "Purple" snitch. In the cartoon animated version of Martha Speaks on PBS Kids, the character TD is a fan of a character called Harry Blotter. TD sat down to watch a marathon of the films in the series. He said that all four prequels and all four sequels were being aired, followed by the premiere of the ninth movie, which didn't make much sense, as there should already have been nine movies if there were four prequels and four sequels. Blotter's enemy, possibly, is the "Dark Lord of Really Dark Darkness", though this may have been a character created by TD for a school project about Thomas Edison. In the Mad episode "Potions 11 / Moves Like Jabba", Harry Potter gathers a team of wizards to find a wand that will let the franchise live forever in a parody of Ocean's 11. In Fanboy & Chum Chum, the two child wizard characters, the British red-headed boy is called Kyle Bloodworth-Thomason, who is a parody of Ronald Weasley and his German white-haired rival, Sigmund the Sorcerer is a parody of Draco Malfoy. Non-animated
 Harry Potter has been parodied several times on the US sketch comedy Saturday Night Live. In all sketches, Harry is portrayed by Rachel Dratch except for the "Welcome Back Potter" sketch in which Harry is played by Will Forte. In addition Hermione Granger was played by Lindsay Lohan, who wore a revealing sweater that showed a good deal of her breasts, causing Harry and Ron, then the Weasley twins, and even Snape and Hagrid to gawk at her in amazement and lust. (The boys decide to use the Invisibility Cloak to spy on Hermione in the bath.) This was to parody the fact that Hermione had reached puberty. A recent sketch featuring J. K. Rowling (played by Amy Poehler) showed deleted scenes from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban where Albus Dumbledore (played by Bill Hader) acts gay. Most recently, Daniel Radcliffe portrayed Potter in a sketch where it has been ten years since his Graduation (though this was never shown in the books), and is still at Hogwarts as a tenant. Potter meets new students and realizes Ron and Hermione have become professors. Harry Potter has also been parodied on MADtv, where Triple H played Harry. On the Disney Channel comedy series, So Random!, a sketch called Harry Potter: In The Real World, is shown to have Harry in the real world, trying to find a job at fictional fast food restaurant, Flippy's. Harry's lightning bolt birth mark and his birth scroll are shown. The So Random Christmas special also has a Volde-mart sketch where Voldemort owns a supermarket and can't get any of his Voldemort dolls to sell, and is furious when he finds out that the Harry Potter dolls are flying off the shelves, so furious that he uses the Avada Kedavra curse on a Harry Potter cardboard cutout in similar style to how Ralph Fiennes does the curse when he destroys the Horcrux in Harry in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Also as a parody of the final film, Harry Potter enters and says Daniel Radcliffe's line, "Come on Tom, let's finish this the way we started it, together." and then hugs Voldemort. Also mentioned in this sketch is Toy's R Severus, in parody of the character Severus Snape. "Harry Bladder" was a sketch on the sketch comedy show All That. Instead of flying on a broom, Harry rode a leaf-blower. The sketch also featured a bowlegged Professor Chafe. In the series Wizards of Waverly Place, the episodes "Wizard School Part 1" and "Wizard School Part 2" features Alex and Justin Russo going to a wizarding summer school named Wiz-tech, where everyone wears glasses reminiscent of the scarred wonder and yellow and black robes. When Alex sees the similarities, she says, "You remind me of someone. Terry something...Barry something...Larry something! Oh, forget it." Dumbledore is parodied as Headmaster Crumbs, Draco Malfoy is parodied as Jerko Phoenix, and the villain is Dr. Evilini, who plans on taking Justin's powers. Quidditch is parodied through a game called 12-ball, which is similar to ping pong. To end the game, you "hit the tattler"; tattler also being another name for a "snitch." In another episode of the same show, Alex, Justin and Max magically travel to an apartment where they meet author H. J. Darling, (a parody of J. K. Rowling) to inquire as to her reasoning for using stories from their lives in her series called "Charmed and Dangerous", (a parody of the Harry Potter books themselves). An episode of Pair of Kings had a flashback showing King Brady in his school, when he used to dress up like Harry Potter, and dubbed himself as Brady Potter, and even addressed his twin brother King Boomer as Boomer Weasley, but eventually stopped doing so, after he, along with Boomer were tied up by the School bully, Rondo, who used Brady's incredibly long scarf. Harry Potter was also parodied in the series Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide in the episode "Guide to: Substitute Teachers and The New Kid". In the end of "The New Kid" part, a boy wearing glasses, clothes and a scarf similar to Harry Potter's on the film series appears, wanting to have a tour in the school. In a Halloween themed episode, Ned has to take his BAT test, a parody of OWLs. In the Fetch episode "CSI: Ruff", there is a school in it called Dogwarts which is reference to Hogwarts. In Episode 4281 of Sesame Street, Telly & Gordon are looking for Gordon's reading glasses in order for Telly to read the latest Furry Potter book, Furry Potter and the Goblet of Fur by J. K. Furball. Harry Potter was also mentioned in the Drake & Josh episode "Megan's New Teacher". UK television
 In the final episode of Only Fools and Horses, titled Sleepless in Peckham, Del and Rodney are trying to come up with money making ideas. Del's idea is for Rodney to write a Harry Potter book but Rodney refuses due to copywriting. Del informs Rodney to change the name to 'Harry Trotter', calling him 'a little git with John Lennon glasses'. In the first series of The Legend of Dick and Dom Princes Dick and Dom send their terrible wizard, Mannitol, back to wizard school while they hunt down a dragon's clack, the next potion ingredient. Alistair McGowan, on his show Big Impression, did a sketch called "Louis Potter and the Philosopher's Scone". It featured impressions of Louis Theroux (as Harry Potter), Neil and Christine Hamilton (as the Dursleys), Nigella Lawson (as Hermione), Anne Robinson (as Ron), Mark Lawrenson (as the Quirrell-figure) and Gary Lineker (as the Voldemort figure). It also featured impressions of Robbie Coltrane (as Hagrid) and Alan Rickman (as Snape), these last two being the actual actors who played parts in the film. BBC satirical comedy programme Dead Ringers featured Harry Potter in several sketches over the years, at one point spoofing Star Wars, Potter and The Lord of the Rings in a single sketch, calling attention to the mysterious old magician who befriends the young male lead character. In 2003, Comic Relief performed a spoof story called Harry Potter and the Secret Chamberpot of Azerbaijan. It featured Dawn French as a female Harry; Jennifer Saunders as Ron Weasley and J. K. Rowling; Miranda Richardson (who later became Rita Skeeter in the Goblet of Fire film) as Hermione; Nigel Planer as Dumbledore (wearing the beard and costume of Richard Harris); Jeremy Irons as Professor Severus Snape; Alison Steadman as Minerva McGonagall; Ronnie Corbett as Hagrid and Basil Brush as Dobby the house elf. The broadcast of this parody was preceded by a message from J. K. Rowling. French subsequently received a role as The Fat Lady in 2004's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The end of Secret Chamberpot featured an advert for the sequel, Gobs of Fire, which was never made. It is unknown whether it was ever planned, or if it was just a spoof. 2DTV showed a short animated clip, in which an Ofsted inspector was inspecting Hogwarts. The inspector found no faults with the school, except for the atrocious acting of the Year 9 students (Harry, Ron and Hermione). Episode 2.3 of BBC's comedy Extras featured a thinly veiled spoof on Harry Potter with Daniel Radcliffe and Warwick Davis parodying their own Potter roles. Radcliffe's character was repeatedly shown trying to seduce his female coworkers on the set, but failed miserably and blamed them when he was caught by his mother. Gromit, from the Wallace and Gromit mini-film series graduated from Dogwarts University; Dogwarts is a parody of Hogwarts. Flacky Rotter and the Friend Count of Justice was a parody in the 2nd series of the CBBC TMI. In one episode of the short-lived CBBC series Gina's Laughing Gear, a short parody of Harry Potter (and Supernanny) was shown, wherein Supernanny attempted to punish the trio of protagonists (played by different actors in an attempt to parody the originals) with the "Naughty step", later getting transfigured into a mouse and placed in "Ron"'s pocket. In the Doctor Who episode The Shakespeare Code, The Doctor and Martha Jones talk about witches and refer to the book saga, she says: "It's all a bit Harry Potter" which The Doctor replies saying that he already read 'Book 7' and that he cried at the end (the episode aired 3 months before the book release and at the time they didn't know the name of the book, that's why it is referred as 'Book 7'). At the end of the episode William Shakespeare and Martha Jones use the ancient word Expelliarmus (a Harry Potter spell) to banish the Carrionites; because of the success of banishing the Carrionites, The Doctor shouts: "Good old J.K.!". There are also some small references in the episode about David Tennant who plays The Doctor and before played Barty Crouch Jr. in the fourth Harry Potter movie. An episode from the Pinky and Perky Show, has an episode with the character Harry Trotter. There is an episode of Bear Behaving Badly which is a parody of the Harry Potter series, in which Nev the Bear is transported through a magic door into The School of Magic And Magic Stuff.

The Onion

 The spoof newspaper The Onion has parodied Harry Potter several times, most notably in the article "Harry Potter Books Spark Rise in Satanism Among Children", which satirized the hysteria of the American Christian Right over the supposedly Satanic influence of the novels on the young. The article was copied into a chain letter and circulated among critics of the series as proof of their claims. Another Onion article, "Children, Creepy Middle-Aged Weirdos Swept Up in Harry Potter Craze", referenced the books' popularity among people one would assume were too old for them. ONN, the Onion'''s satirical spoof of television news, carried an item in the lead up to release of the final Harry Potter book entitled "JK Rowling hints at Harry Potter date rape". The Onion also satirized the Harry Potter fandom's fear of spoilers, particularly in the run-up to the final book, with an article stating that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows had itself been attacked for containing spoilers.

 In their May 2004 issue, the U.S. Army publication Preventive Maintenance Monthly, which instructs soldiers on how to maintain their equipment, featured a spoof comic based on Harry Potter, featuring a character named Topper who resided at Mogmarts School under Professor Rumbledore. The publication received notice from Rowling's lawyers that the comics breached copyright, though the magazine's editor claimed that no violation had taken place, as "The drawings do not look like any of the characters from Harry Potter"
 A parody of Hogwarts can be seen in Futurama Comics No. 16. While trying to find a boarding school for Cubert, the crew visits a magic school on the planet Rowling VI. Cubert's insistence that a school cannot exist solely based on faith causes the school and the magical creatures within it to vanish. "Continuing the Magic", in Time by Lon Tweeten, shows possible future book covers laced with pop culture references such as "The Audition of Doom" with Simon Cowell judging Harry harshly, "The Paris Hilton Enchantment" with a trio of familiar Dementors, and "Dark Lord of the Dance" with Voldemort and Harry teaming up on Broadway. In the comic strip The Argyle Sweater, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is satirized in a panel, where Dumbledore has passed a bladder stone and the doctor tells Harry that Dumbledore must avoid strenuous sorcery for a week and to lay off the potion. In the comic book series "Tozzer", the titular character studies at the acting school of "Boarboils", a parody of the name "Hogwarts". The character Tozzer also is occasionally depicted with a swastika scar on his forehead, and believes that he is a magician.

In Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's comic book series The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which crosses over countless works of fiction in the same universe, the third volume chronicles events that culminate in the events of the Harry Potter series. In the novel an unrecognizable Harry is portrayed as the Anti-Christ, and all his adventures have merely been staged to manipulate him into destroying the world. On learning this, Harry destroys Hogwarts and murders everyone in it, including Ron and Hermione. Various characters describe Harry as 'banal.' He appears at the end of the novel as a rapidly mutating monster before he is destroyed by God taking the form of Mary Poppins. None of the characters or locations in the series are mentioned by name to avoid conflict with J.K. Rowling, as Moore has done with other characters belonging to other authors. No references are made to any of the actual events of the series, and the summary given of them is inconsistent with the actual story. Online

In it, Rubeus Hagrid, the Dursleys, and Draco Malfoy were originally slated to appear. Harry Potter and the Deathly WeaponsHarry Potter and the Deathly Weapons is a 2020 fan edit of the 2001 film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. In the full-length, unauthorised edit, all of the wands are digitally replaced with guns. The parody took five years to create, and was described by its creator as a joke, "with over 175 brand-spankin' new good-enough-looking special effects shots". A review in Vice found the fan edit "Tarantino-worthy", while another in Screen Rant found the digital replacement of wands to range from seamless to "less successful". Scene changes include Hagrid shooting Dudley in the buttocks, Hermione performing the "Wingardium Leviosa" spell with a gun, and shooting Neville in the head instead of immobilising him. The creator of the fan edit stated that it started out as a "tasteless joke" in the wake of mass shootings and noted how easy it was to put guns in Hollywood film. In a website for the parody, links are included to organisations opposed to gun violence and the site invites viewers to "see how riddikulus the notion of guns in schools looks". Other videosDark Lord Funk - Harry Potter Parody of ‘Uptown Funk’ is a YouTube video produced by KFaceTV.

In the music video, Lord Voldemort and his crew, including Bellatrix Lestrange, taunt Harry Potter with a choreographed song telling him that the Dark Lord will “Funk you up.” Voldemort and his crew are in a variety of scenes (similar to the Mark Ronson video, including Voldemort in a barber shop wearing pink curlers) singing to Harry Potter. In the video, Voldemort is also the lead singer of a band called ‘Tom & The Riddles.’ J.K. Rowling called the video “a work of genius.” Jason Isaacs (whose character Lucius Malfoy is not in the video) said the video is “funking amazing...sheer unadulterated genius.” Originally published March 2015, the video had more than 7 million YouTube views in its first three weeks, and now has more than 14.5 million views.

 The Order of the Stick used a character for strip No. 253 named Larry Gardener, a student at Warthog's School of Wizardry and Sorcery, who was quickly killed off. Webcomic Sluggy Freelance's main character is Torg, a bright but uncomplicated fellow whose last name we never learn. In Pete Abrams' first parody, Torg Potter and the Sorcerer's Nuts, Torg is mistaken for the Lastnameless One and brought into Hoggelrynth to learn magic. He subsequently defeats a plot by Professor Santory Snapekin to achieve ultimate power. (Maybe.) Despite Torg's not having any actual magic powers he is embroiled in a plot to turn everybody into chocolate in Torg Potter and the Chamberpot of Secretions. In Torg Potter and the President from Arkansas Blearious Stank escapes from prison, and Torg is considered to be in danger due to being the "Torg Potter of record". Torg is jibported back to Hoggelrynth to take part in the Tri-Gizzard Tournament in Torg Potter and the Giblets with Fiber. The parodies are modelled after the movies, not the books, and follow the movie releases. The webcomic VG Cats featured a parody of Harry Potter (Wise Advice: Fullmetal vs. Harry Potter) in which Harry finds the Philosopher's Stone at the same time as Edward and Alphonse Elric of the series, Fullmetal Alchemist. The result is Harry and Edward getting into a fight after several insults are exchanged. The webcomic Gunnerkrigg Court had a short little scene where the main characters, Annie and Kat, hear about a new student the local bully is terrorizing. Just before the bully can hang the boy (who looks exactly like a cartoon Harry Potter) up on the flagpole, Annie and Kat stop him and chase the bully away. However, instead of being grateful he claims that he and his wand had it under complete control. When Annie points out the "wand" is just a twig, he gets offended and tries to cast a spell on Annie and Kat in exactly the same pose has Harry in many of the movies when he casts a powerful spell. Nothing happens and Annie and Kat end up hanging him up on the flagpole themselves. Wizard School is a webcomic parody of Harry Potter, in which an eight-year-old "chosen one" with a mark on his forehead is replaced by the villain with a drunken adult jerk with a tattoo, who attends the school for wizards in his place. Potters and Potions is a screencap comic in the vein of Darths and Droids, or DM of the rings. It follows the plot of the movies, as if the characters had been players in an RPG. Harry Potter and the Portrait of What Looked Like a Large Pile of Ash is a one-chapter AI-assisted-generated short story produced using software from Botnik. The AI program is fed all 7 volumes of J.K.Rowling's books, and the output text resembles her writing style. Stage
Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic is a 2015 original play by New York-based playwright Matt Cox. The play is a comedic retelling of the Harry Potter book series by J. K. Rowling, but from the perspective of the "Puffs". In August 2006 Potted Potter (subtitled "The Unauthorized Harry Experience") by Dan & Jeff (Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner) of Potted Productions premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe festival in Scotland. It continues to tour venues worldwide today, after sell out runs in London's Westend and New York, even been translated into Spanish for a run in Mexico City in 2014.

The musical, retitled A Very Potter Musical, was reposted on 5 July 2009. The plot followed Voldemort's attempts to return to his body using Professor Quirrell and the House Cup Tournament. A sequel was premiered at the 2010 HPEF Harry Potter Conference Infinitus.

Written by Jeannette Jaquish in 2007 for actors aged 5 to adult, the story's theme is the widening rift between facts of the movies and the books demonstrated in bizarre "changes" at Hogwarts that only Harry can see. Comic scenes of Dobby and Winky panicking over missing cheese, Ron slopping a potion on Snape, Dumbledore missing his meal ticket as well as his mind, and Malfoy deflecting a dementor as he earns his free lunch in the Hogwarts cafeteria poke fun at the icons of J.K. Rowling's books. In 2010, Jaquish wrote two additional scenes which added Peeves, Moaning Myrtle, Luna Lovegood and the Hogwarts Kitchen House Elves. The show first played at the Firehouse Theater in Fort Wayne, Indiana in September 2007, and since has performed in England, many U.S. states and toured Australia.

 In 2002, the public art exhibition CowParade, which travels the world erecting cow-themed sculptures in major cities before selling them at auction for charity, erected a broomstick-riding Harry Potter cow in London's Leicester Square. When the organisers attempted to take it down, they were prevented by public outcry. Jared Lee, an equestrian-themed T-shirt and home goods graphic company, has designed T-shirts showing a horse riding a broomstick and wearing a cape, with the words "Hairy Trotter" below the picture. These T-shirts have become popular and are sold through several major equestrian retailers. Cows Ice Cream of Prince Edward Island, Canada, which is famous for making cow-themed parodies of many different pieces of pop culture, has a parody called Cowy Potter (also Dairy Potter), including "The Prisoner of Azcowban" and "The Goblet of Milk"
 In Wacky Packages All-New Series 1, Hairy Patter is a parody of Harry Potter. The clothing retailer Hanes has produced a shirt that reads "Harry Pothead and the Sorcerer's Stoned". In Garbage Pail Kids All-New Series 1, card # 40a, Harry Potty is a parody of Harry Potter.Harry Potthead is a Newgrounds flash game that is about Harry Potter using objects like bongs (including a pigeon, a squirrel, and a gun), as well as sniffing glue.

The object of the game is to do 3 of the actions, before choosing "Smoke A Gun", in which Harry shoots himself in the head. The game was developed and programmed by Tom Fulp, the creator of the site. J. K. Rowling parodies

J. K. Rowling, the Harry Potter writer, has been parodied several times:
 Rowling made a guest appearance as herself on the American animated sitcom The Simpsons, in a special British-themed episode entitled "The Regina Monologues". The dialogue consisted of a short conversation between Rowling and Lisa Simpson, who mispronounces Rowling's name. She acknowledges Lisa with "Thank you, young Muggle". When Lisa asks her about the ending of Harry Potter, Rowling sighs and says: "He grows up, and marries you. Is that what you want to hear?" to which Lisa swoons and dreamily replies, "Yes!" before Rowling rolls her eyes and walks away. Rowling is also parodied in an episode of Adult Swim's Robot Chicken, in which a character from the future travels through time in an attempt to completely destroy her chance at fame by giving Rowling a terrible idea for a novel: "A raccoon with an afro named Squiggles who shoots pixie dust from his bunghole". Rowling appears as a wrestler on Celebrity Deathmatch, where she uses Harry Potter-style spells against Stephen King. It ends when she kills Stephen King through a lightning bolt manifested from the power of Voldemort. However, after he dies, King's robotic leg acts up and ends up killing Rowling. On a couple of occasions, Craig Ferguson of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson has done a sketch where he portrays J.K. Rowling as a power-hungry, money-obsessed individual. Once he portrayed her doing a talkshow, similar to Oprah, and advertising Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: "It really moved me...into a bigger mansion. HAHAHAHA! I'M RICH! I'M RICH!". In 2002, the Canadian newspaper National Post, in its satirical column Post Morten, wrote a spoof article claiming that:
Rowling – or, as the article referred to and credited her, Mrs. J. K. Satan – said that as she sat in a coffee shop one grey day, wondering what to do with her empty, aimless life, it hit her: "I'll give myself, body and soul, to the Dark Master. And in return, he will give me absurd wealth and power over the weak and pitiful of the world. And he did!" Like The Onions article on Harry Potter and Satanism, this article too was copied into a chain letter and released as truth onto the web. In one episode of the second series of Tracey Ullman's State of the Union, Tracey Ullman parodies J.K. Rowling as bossy and very keen on keeping her creations copyrighted, for example, she believes a hobo is impersonating Hagrid. Maureen Johnson (author) has on multiple occasions parodied J. K. Rowling on her blog. She has described J. K. Rowling as a deranged, food-obsessed psycho who keeps Alan Rickman prisoner in her basement. Rowling's propensity to make statements about the series' canon after the publication of Deathly Hallows–most notably, Dumbledore's sexuality–have led to internet memes in which Rowling supposedly confirms outlandish theories regarding the series; one such parody, in which CollegeHumor writers Willie Muse and Amir Khan doctored screenshots of Rowling's tweets to imply she stated Professors Flitwick and Sprout had previously been in a relationship, was accidentally reprinted in a Hufflepuff-themed version of Philosopher's Stone. In 2019, a parody of Rowling was featured in the television film Island of Dreams'' by Harry Enfield, where she was played by Samantha Spiro. References
