Technical Update! If you downloaded this book more than a month ago, please request the latest version, as it does not occur automatically."Unworthy trash!" ... "A complete insult to what is not only an international favorite but also regarded as the best series starter of all time. Disgusting." - Lucius Lupin (Inkitt Sept 2025)A humorous retelling for a generation that has quietly put their plastic wands away in the kitchen drawer, furiously denying they'd learnt all the spells by heart and everything.Who is Phil Osafa?How do you persuade your (drinking, gambling, thieving) weenix to behave like a respectable owl?Who are the mysterious Dissentry of Magic?What is ditchwitch? And why can't girls play?How do you tame the tiny, ugly, vicious - yet strangely desirable - guardian on the third floor?These fascinating questions, and more, are completely ignored inside this clever little file of fluid locations...Barry's uncles, Vermont and Patrice, are petrified of all things magical (they don't mind the tax avoidance bit) and try everything to stop him from taking his rightful place at Pigsnorts School of Wizardry, Witchery, and Judicial Evasion.With guidance from a wild, hairy giant - The Keeper of the Fleas - the hereditary solicitor learns of a world beyond the magless monotony of Muddledom and Stoppages.A ridiculous misadventure is about to begin!"This is a humorous parody of (obviously!) the first Harry Potter book with names, genders and species swapped for punnier versions and digs at modern pop culture and politics scattered liberally. Chris Whyatt has a knack for striking witty imagery and I enjoy his satirical writing, Parody fans and those looking for an adult-aimed novelty stocking filler will be likely to enjoy this foray." - Bookshine December 2023."At one point, I couldn't stop laughing. The world needs the writing of Chris Whyatt." - Louise Blackwick - bestselling author of the Vivian Amberville fantasy novels. Read more
