fencer_xStep One: Have already read at least the first Harry Potter book, and seen the movie (or at least seen the movie), so as to retain some familiarity with the characters.
Step Two: Go here and watch Wizard People, Dear Readers (first two "chapters" compiled into one video--you can continue watching the rest of the movie at "chapter" 3 here)
Step Three: ??????
Step Four: PROFIT!
Wizard People, Dear Readers is a fake "audio book" version of the first Harry Potter book, retold in a way that parodies the original with HILARIOUS results. By hilarious I mean, "I had to stop watching ever five minutes to catch my breath from laughing so hard," hilarious XD
Some fun lines include:
[When the students arrive at Hogwarts...]: "Finally, the moment of truth! The God Wheel of Fate has stopped for all these kiddies on Yes, Yes In-Fucking-Deed, You Will Be a Wizard! And this moment is the first in a series of moments that, no matter what feelings those moments embody, Yes, Yes is still the answer. Yes to life, and Yes to magic!"
[At the opening feast...]: "Dumbledore casts his Stand-Without-Effort Spell, following it up with his most pleasing Food-of-Plenty Spell. If ever a room full of children has looked like little hyenas that have come upon a dead family of zebras, it is now. "
[Quidditch match when Harry catches the Snitch in his mouth...]: "Like a viper, Harry used his voracious mouth as his catcher. He’s got that Snitch in his animal belly, and Pop! it is out! They’ve won! One hundred thousand points for fucking Gryffindor! The crowd goes absolutely bazonkers!"
Etc etc~ The thing is narrated in such a weird voice, it automatically makes things ten times funnier by default. And equally great, it synchs up with the movie--as you can see from that youtube clip--so you can rewatch the movie with a funnier audio track :D
Not up to watching the whole thing and prefer a transcript? You're in luck!
I really recommend at least watching that first Youtube clip XDDDDD Hell, if you HATED Harry Potter watch it--it completely makes fun of Rowling's prose, using overdone flowery language and a health peppering of, "I'M HARRY FUCKING POTTER!" grandstanding ♥ You should enjoy it >)

I've been watching these all morning. XD I would also like to suggest that, should someone with mad icon-making skills feel inclined to make some quote icons from these mad-genius videos, I would most certainly shower her with praise and be very happy indeed. :D
