  • 00:02

    From late-night cartoons to big-screen productions, the muggles have run amok.

  • 00:07

    Welcome to WatchMojo UK and today we’ll be counting down our picks for the top 10

  • 00:11

    Harry Potter parodies!

  • 00:19

    For this list, we’ve gathered the funniest, cleverest and most popular parodies centred

  • 00:30

    on the “Harry Potter” film series.

  • 00:32

    As we’re considering anything inspired by recognisable “Potter” scenes, tropes or

  • 00:37

    characters, today’s entries include film and TV spoofs and references, as well as viral

  • 00:42

    clips and YouTube favourites.

  • 00:52

    Seth MacFarlane and co.

  • 00:53

    have poked fun at the Potter series in various scenes, including Steve’s suspect Potions

  • 01:00

    class in “American Dad!”, but we’ve gotta go with the Griffins to start.

  • 01:09

    “Family Guy” references to witchcraft and wizardry include Quagmire’s questionable

  • 01:13

    views on female anatomy and Peter’s doorstep chit-chat with a passing owl.

  • 01:25

    But we’ve picked another Peter clip for today’s list, as his sorting hat ritual

  • 01:29

    goes awry.

  • 01:31

    While this “Doctor Who” episode centres on Shakespeare, JK Rowling and “Harry Potter”

  • 01:43

    provide a running gag throughout, blurring the boundaries between two of fantasy fiction’s

  • 01:48

    best-loved universes.

  • 01:57

    Martha Jones is still finding her feet in the TARDIS, and the Doctor’s powers are

  • 02:01

    Harry-esque in her eyes, but Rowling’s work truly comes to the fore at the story’s supernatural

  • 02:06

    climax.

  • 02:10

    There’s nothing that a simple disarming charm can’t fix.

  • 02:18

    While the rest of today’s countdown focusses on comedy shorts or isolated scenes, “Benjamin

  • 02:24

    Sniddlegrass” is a full-blown, feature-length Potter parody.

  • 02:30

    And it largely came about by accident.

  • 02:33

    When BBC Radio’s Kermode and Mayo gave a damning review to “Percy Jackson and the

  • 02:46

    Lightning Thief”, suggesting a cheeky alternative title in the process, they inspired Australian

  • 02:52

    filmmaker Jeremy Dylan to turn their joke into reality.

  • 02:57

    One year, 6,000 Australian dollars and a Stephen Fry voiceover later, and “Cauldron of Penguins”

  • 03:05

    was available for download.

  • 03:07

    The magic of cinema, eh!

  • 03:09

    The Screen Junkies “Honest Trailers” treatment has become a bizarre badge of honour for major

  • 03:20

    movie franchises, and the Harry Potter edition doesn’t disappoint.

  • 03:33

    With spot-on summaries of our favourite characters and merciless mickey-takes of pivotal scenes,

  • 03:41

    it also pays hilarious homage to the UK’s topmost acting talents.

  • 03:52

    Trivialising the saga into just a few short quips, while this clip does cosy up to the

  • 03:58

    anti-Potter argument, Harry fans are sure to smile too.

  • 04:16

    Introducing Nigel Planter, a recurring character in this mid-2000s Cartoon Network show, and

  • 04:22

    a pinpoint parody of Rowling’s world-famous wizard.

  • 04:26

    Planter crosses paths with Billy and Mandy at Toadblatt’s School of Sorcery, where

  • 04:33

    the squidhat sorts them into Weaslethorpe house, the consistent no-hopers in the race

  • 04:37

    for the house cup.

  • 04:41

    But when Mandy sets her mind to sabotage, their rivals Gunderstank don’t stand a chance.

  • 04:49

    Leaving Planter to steal the credit for Mandy’s cunning plans.

  • 05:07

    When French and Saunders took on Hogwarts in 2003, “Harry Potter” mania was in full

  • 05:12

    flow.

  • 05:22

    The comic double act have delivered many a memorable parody for “Comic Relief”, but

  • 05:26

    here they spoof the second Potter film with a perfect rehash.

  • 05:33

    Dawn French turns the boy wizard into a rather womanly character, while Jennifer Saunders

  • 05:38

    plays a petrified Ron Weasley, and a ditzy JK.

  • 05:42

    And both are backed by a stellar supporting cast, including Jeremy Irons as a narcissistic

  • 05:47

    Snape and Basil Brush as Dobby.

  • 05:50

    Boom Boom.

  • 06:03

    To another animated show packed with Potter parodies, “The Simpsons” typically spoofs

  • 06:07

    Harry through Lisa’s favourite book series, “Angelica Button”.

  • 06:16

    However, the third story in “Treehouse of Horror XII” sees Springfield Elementary

  • 06:21

    transform into an all-encompassing academy of magic – and it’s no surprise that Lisa

  • 06:26

    is top of the class.

  • 06:32

    A six-minute tale packed with pun-based spells and thinly veiled characters, Lord Montymort

  • 06:38

    is a particular highlight.

  • 06:40

    Even if his death is kinda gross.

  • 06:45

    We can thank SNL for a long series of spoofs, and special mention to Daniel Radcliffe’s

  • 06:56

    2012 hosting slot which saw him reprise his iconic role.

  • 07:08

    But this sketch is easily the show’s most famous Potter skit, centring on Lindsay Lohan

  • 07:13

    as a sexed-up Hermione.

  • 07:23

    Set after the summer break, Lohan’s busty witch triggers a testosterone overload, proving

  • 07:28

    a provocative distraction as Ron, Harry, Fred, George, Snape and Hagrid get hot under the

  • 07:34

    collar.

  • 07:35

    Although, she seems oblivious to the ogling.

  • 07:51

    Bruno Mars meets the Boy Who Lived for today’s runner-up, although it’s Voldemort who truly

  • 07:56

    takes centre stage here.

  • 07:58

    With a rhythm lifted from Mars and Mark Ronson’s 2014 megahit, “Uptown Funk”, the lyrics

  • 08:03

    land us right at the heart of the Battle of Hogwarts.

  • 08:13

    Only the Dark Lord’s on the dancefloor, and Harry hasn’t a hope of matching his

  • 08:17

    moves.

  • 08:18

    A monumental musical number, “Dark Lord Funk” even impressed JK herself, who said

  • 08:23

    the clip was ‘genius’.

  • 08:25

    And we’ll second that.

  • 08:27

    It may have been inspired by one of the most popular film franchises in history, but today’s

  • 08:45

    winner boasts its own unique spot in modern pop culture.

  • 08:50

    “Potter Puppet Pals” sparked a YouTube phenomenon in the mid-2000s, as a long series

  • 09:01

    of live-action puppetry sketches designed to caricature the “Harry Potter” series.

  • 09:09

    But “The Mysterious Ticking Noise” caught most attention, providing an unofficial soundtrack

  • 09:14

    to Harry’s epic adventure.

  • 09:19

    This, ladies and gents, is what real magic looks like.
