"Potted Potter"

Harry Potter fans are a rare breed of fan. We, myself obviously included, delight in the idea of a parody show chronicling the seven-year and seven-book adventure of our favorite boy wizard, not hesitating at the chance to spend 70 minutes giggling at literary inside jokes.

Seriously, when's the last time you laughed at the questionably duplicitous morality of a fictitious professor in the course of potion-making? Or a dragon hand puppet? Don't ask questions, just appreciate that these were not out of place and worth it for the price of admission if you consider yourself a fan.

Otherwise, you may not see the entertainment in the sheer intensity of grown men running about with a beach ball that they've been told to imagine is part of an equally imaginary Quidditch game. No. There's no way that isn't funny, even if you've never heard of Harry Potter. Worth it.
