Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Wizard People, Dear Reader is a free audio file by Brad Neely that provides a humorous alternative narration of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, meant to be listened to alone or in sync with the movie.Much of the humor comes from Neely's modifications to many characters and plot elements, as well as his distinct style of narration, including obnoxious hyperbole, awkward similes, and the tendency to get gradually more vulgar as the movie goes on. |

Übermensch: Harry apparently possesses godlike powers in this universe and fully believes in his own superiority, though he keeps his abilities in check out of consideration for those around him, even if he privately insults quite a few of them. |

Sophisticated as Hell: The narration is at once overly-verbose and overly-vulgar. It's not uncommon to have a long and complicated simile be capped off by a Precision F-Strike. |

Cluster F-Bomb: Harry's near constant stream of profanity during the Cribbage match. "FUCKWORD AFTER FUCKWORD!" When Hagrid recounts how he told a mysterious stranger about putting Fluffy to sleep, Harry reacts as follows: "What? What could have made you say that? What do you think this is, a fucking free-for-all of facts? Why don't you go and get on the school PA, and tell everyone my dad is Val-mart, and I'm half-Dracula... What fucking good are you? Why don't you learn to keep a God-damn secret you hairy piece of shit?!" |
