Arthur parody

[Lilac]

From: "Linda C. McCabe" <lmccabe at sonic.net>
Subject: parody of HP on Arthur


"I was watching the Arthur Show on PBS today and they had a parody of 
the Harry Potter series.The book that all the students were crazy over was "Henry Screever and the Cabbage of Mayhem." They were all waiting until midnight to get the latest book and competing with one another as to who read the book the fastest.
Some of the sight gags went really fast and I couldn't get everything.  
Ididn't catch what they called Hogwarts, but it did have pigs on the 
coat of arms.  Mr. Ratburn, Arthur's teacher, arrived at school in a flying red
convertible and a Mango tree grabbed it with its branches.  Then they 
had a game with flying carpets rather than broomsticks and they were supposed 
to catch a hopping bullion cube, and used tomatoes as Bludgers.
One of the kids wanted a special limited edition from England.  When it
came, she found that it was in Braille. Prunella tried desperately to get her hands on a regular copy, but by that time all the copies were sold out or checked out of the library.  To get a replacement regular copy was going to take an additional three weeks.  So Prunella decided she had to learn Braille.  She then bumped into a 
little blind girl in the library and became friends.  The blind girl would 
read the book to Prunella aloud. Anyway, I thought people might be interested in hearing about this parody of HP. -- Athena"

Now Me:

I've seen that parody a few times now, having a 6 year old who loves the Arthur cartoon series on PBS.  One of my favorite parts is when Mr. Ratburn corrects Prunella on the pronunciation of "Persephone" (she was saying per-se-phone as in tele"phone", and it's supposed to be per-se-fuh-nee), which correlates so well to Hermione and how many people, including myself, didn't know how to say her name.  I was saying hair-me-own until book 4 cleared it up!
