Harry Potter Spoofs
Uy, it's that time of the year again. I'm too old to have enjoyed Hogwarts gang as a kid, and my days as a daddy aren't exactly around the corner. In other words, I couldn't give a crap about the Harry Potter series (even though I've somehow managed to watch all the movies on DVD, whenever I couldn't find anything else to rent). But given HP's obscene collective box-office gross, I'm clearly in the minority on this one. That being said, these spoofs, especially the SNL one, are pretty funny. Consider this a shout-out to all the 31-year-olds who helped break the record for opening on a Wednesday by queuing up at 7 a.m. wearing wizard caps and forehead scars.
