Dear List

There are supposed to be several satires of the Harry Potter books out. I have managed to come across only one of them, "Harry Potter and the Completely Unnecessary Sequel."  It's OK, good in spots but nowhere near as good or expert as the Harvard Lampoon's send up of Lord of the Rings ("Bored of the Rings" or the Lampoons masterpiece on Frank Herbert's "Dune" entitled "Doon"

Anybody heard of others?

Unlike "Doon" which not only is hilarious but is written in exact parody of Herbert's style and syntax, "Harry Potter and the Completely Unnecessary Sequel" does not mimic Rowling's style.
