Have you seen them, Cleolinda Jones' "Movies in 15 Minutes" summaries of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Sorcerer's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, etc.? (Maybe you're more familiar with the Twilight ones, I digress.)
Anyway, they're hilarious. But that by itself is old news. The good news is, if you wondered about the wild thought process behind the funny, in her words:
I came up with the idea to annotate some of the online Movies in Fifteen Minutes stuff--the print equivalent of a DVD commentary, almost--and see if y'all would be interested. Let's try the three Harry Potter ones online, those are obviously related and would yield some interesting stuff to talk about, how about that?
I want to be really, really clear about this: THE PARODIES ARE OLD MATERIAL. THEY ARE ALREADY ONLINE FOR FREE. YOU HAVE ALREADY READ THEM. What you would actually be paying for is some 460 footnotes of commentary material, which you can see in the preview on Lulu.
Actually she said a lot more. This is new news, this book.
Because she is ultra funny, you should probably pick this up if you've got the spare change (a couple lattes). Then you should tell everyone else. Because the funny should be shared. If you're skeptical, read the links first. Laugh and enjoy, and then go get the companion book if you feel inclined.
What's inside? POA, GOF, and HBP. With notes.
And that's all there is to it.

Harry Potter fans will have the chance to bid for rare and special edition books about the boy wizard at an auction tomorrow via TW Gaze. Ted Shelton, a former leader of Breckland Council, has been collecting the JK Rowling novels since 2000 but he has now decided to "streamline his collection".
With the auction including American hardback collector's editions of The Sorcerer's Stone, The Chamber of Secrets, deluxe editions in slipcases of The Order of the Phoenix, The Half Blood Prince and The Deathly Hallows, a special edition trilogy of the first three books in paperback, and a number of large print first editions by Bloomsbury of the first five books... it will be interesting to see what they fetch.
According to the LA Times, he'll appear in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" in the part of J. Pierpont Finch, a window cleaner who rises to the top of a huge company while, of course, wooing and winning a girl along the way.
Helen McCrory, playing Narcissa Malfoy, chatted briefly about the scope of the last film (no spoilers):
"It's got a full stop," she told RottenTomatoes. "I think up to now, every director who has done a 'Harry Potter' has had to do a dot-dot-dot. They know it's a sequel, they know there's another film coming out. But with this one, we can actually make everything have an epic ending. It's going to be final. And it's going to be huge. There doesn't have to be any more pauses or dot-dot-dots. So they're letting out all the stops with this one."
Better known as Hagrid, Robbie Coltrane spoke recently about his post-Potter plans.
"I regret the ending of Harry Potter for the obvious reasons of saying goodbye to a bunch of people with whom I've become very friendly over the years, but also because I will be giving up a regular income.You don't get too much of that in the world of acting."
Needless to say the reports and actions of Harvard students stalking Brown attendee Emma Watson at a recent event has raised the ire around the web, and such.
And Harvard Voice says?
The Voice eventually attached an editor's note to its post of Watson's photo, saying, "There seems to be much ado about nothing over this photo and liveblog. Understand that these live tweets were made to be intentionally outrageous and overblown."
Right then, Harvard.
In an interview with the Telegraph, he talks about weight, his famous family, and shedding the fat to launch his own post-Potter career.
Great pic, too.
