Wizard People Dear Reader by Brad Neely (2004 audio movie parody)

Wizard People Dear Reader is meant to be played over the movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, replacing the sound. However, I like it more on its own. It allows your imagination to fill in the details rather than having to watch the rather bad acting in that film, made all the worse when you can't hear what they are saying.

There are times while listening to Wizard People Dear Reader that the style gets tiresome. When the cursing and the shouting becomes all there is and therefore boring. But there are enough funny moment, enough style, enough departures from the original story to make it a good work in its own right and an "Awesome Parody". The humor is at its best in the simple metaphors and epitaphs that the characters use. Wizard People is infinitely "Quotable" and a great piece of underground pop culture.
