The scientists really need to work on that unseeing thing. That would be great.

This isn't the first time that puberty has come to Hogwarts. But last time, it was a little more...puppety.

The crude juvenile humor didn't bother me, but the high pitched falsetto grated my nerves.

I didn't find them funny, but for the 0 dollar budget these guys are probably operating on, I thought they did a good job blending the footage.

Yeah. I'm torn - the humor itself did nothing for me, but I thought they did a fantastic job putting themselves in and choosing good clips to use.

When the third book came out I downloaded what I thought was a pirated advance copy, only to discover 300 pages in somebody had written a massive long spoof and put in sex, drugs and puberty. It was even done rather well, like a weird alternate reality. (Or maybe that's just me.) Sure enough I read the real copy of the book later and it was entirely different.

The Number One Way To Get Justinian Not To Read Your Article List:
1) Put a giant close-up picture of your nasty bare feet front and center at the top.

These reminded me of this SNL clip with Lindsey Lohan, in her pre crash-and-burn days.

Brad Neely's "Wizard People, Dear Reader" is hilarious for all the reasons this isn't.
He produces many a wine-out-of-nowhere spell and is drunk every day before noon.

I actually found some of the stuff kind of funny. The blending in was really good but the jokes were incredibly juvenile. But stupid can be funny, on occasion.

Dirty Potter
I know what you're thinking, muggle. You're thinking "did he cast six spells or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a Phoenix feather wand, twin brother of the Dark Lord's own weapon, and would rip your soul clean out, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

I'm stranded behind a truly awful dialup connection right now and will have to watch these later (and oh man, I want to), but I wanted to mention that I recently learned how a (once rather beardy, odd, banjo-obsessed) kid I went to high school with is undergoing gender reassignment.
Which would be a total 'so what' if it wasn't for the fact that he used to talk about making out / having sex with Hermione, send fan letters to Emma Watson, etc. Now, it turns out, he (she, now) isn't just becoming a woman: he's becoming Hermione Granger, the fictional character and woman he loves.
Talk of the films having a serious impact on people.

You want juvenile? Try replacing "wand" with "wang".
"Why aren't you supposed to do magic?" asked Harry.
"Oh, well -- I was at Hogwarts meself but I -- er -- got expelled, ter tell yeh the truth. In me third year. They snapped me wang in half an' everything."
-
"Yes, yes. I thought I'd be seeing you soon. Harry Potter." It wasn't a question. "You have your mother's eyes. It seems only yesterday she was in here herself, buying her first wang. Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow. Nice wang for charm work."
"Your father, on the other hand, favored a mahogany wang. Eleven inches. "
-
"Oh, move over," Hermione snarled. She grabbed Harry's wang, tapped the lock, and whispered, 'Alohomora!"
-
"He ran onto the field as you fell, waved his wang, and you sort of slowed down before you hit the ground. Then he whirled his wang at the dementors. Shot silver stuff at them."

You know, I really want to know how that turned out for him. If it wasn't for the massive invasion of privacy thing...
