Barry Trotter and the Unauthorized Parody by Michael Gerber is a parity of a particular fantasy series. The plot such as it is describes the attempt on the part of the now grown up Barry Trotter to stop a movie being created. It's quite funny. There's a lot of puns and bathroom humor which is to be expected. There is also some good situational humor. It's not line for line satire but it does make some excellent points about the books. There's actuallya message buried underneath everything else about fandom and the entertainment industry.
Highly recommended if you have a sense of humor about Harry Potter [whoops I did say it].
