Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Trans Wizard Harriet Porber and the Bad Boy Parasaurolophus is a Fantasy Romance novel by two-time Hugo Award nominated author Chuck Tingle, published on June 12, 2020. The book is a Harry Potter Parody and a Take That! to J. K. Rowling's transphobic views.Harriet Porber is a trans wizard and a spellsmith who is struggling to come up with a new spell after her previous spell went viral. Her agent Minerma convinces her to look for inspiration by traveling to an island off the coast of England. There she meets an edgy bad boy parasaurolophus named Snabe, a bard who uses metamagic and is part of a rock band. While Harriet finds Snabe rude at first, she eventually realizes that he is a sweet guy underneath his bad boy exterior and falls in love with him. However, things are complicated by two sentient motorcycles named Dellatrix and Braco who have it out for Harriet.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Being a parody, this book doesn’t take itself completely seriously, lampshading romance tropes and often Breaking the Fourth Wall. Snabe's metamagic causes the book to become Metafiction. Like Chuck Tingle's other works, it also contains plenty of sex. Despite being a Harry Potter parody, the book has little to do with the books other than the character names, the focus on wizards, and a few Take Thats to the series and J.K. Rowling.It received a sequel called Trans Wizard Harriet Porber And The Theater Of Love, which focuses on Harriet forming a magic show in Las Vegas with Snabe after the powerful spell she created leads to chaos, causing her to be blacklisted from the magic community. Her comeback show, The Theater of Love, faces challenges and threats from an Evil, Inc. company called Just Kidding Corporation and a hypnotist wizard called the Great Magini. It was released on March 15, 2021.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) |

Chekhov's Gun: The intercom on Snabe's boat that is mentioned early in the story is later used to distract Dellatrix during the final battle. The paddle Dellatrix uses to fake an injury is later used by Harriet to knock her off Snabe's boat during the fight. |

Lampshade Hanging: Snabe often references and makes fun of romance tropes, such as the bad boy love interest acting like a jerk at the start of the story for no reason. |

Metafiction: The story is very self aware, as Snabe's metamagic allows him and later other characters to see that they are in a Chuck Tingle book. |

Parody: The book parodies the Harry Potter series, albeit loosely. It mainly is made to criticize J.K. Rowling's transphobia while telling a unique story that has characters with similar names to Harry Potter characters. |

comment |
Take That!: The entire story is a huge take that to J.K. Rowling due to her transphobic views, portraying a character based on Harry as trans. It also contains some jokes making fun of Rowling, such as having Bumbledorf mention he’s gay during his first scene rather than being confirmed gay by Word of Godinvoked. Also, the villainous company in the sequel is called the JK Corporation. |
