much of the humor derived from the series originates from cicierega's unique interpretation of the principal harry potter characters. some characters are given personalities designed to contrast completely with their attitudes in the harry potter books. cicierega's harry is portrayed as an extremely brash, arrogant, and vain teenager who is "rife with boyish attitude," while dumbledore is a nudist. other times, an aspect of the original stories is blown out of proportion for comedic effect, such as hermione granger's love of reading and matter-of-fact approach to problems. in the episode "snape's diary", hermione remarks, "i know a thing or two about books, and that's a book!" later in the same episode, she excitedly shouts, "here's one of the quills i carry with me at all times!"
