Interfax is reporting that another "Harry Potter" imitation has been published in Russia, but this time it is being viewed as a direct parody, and not plagiarism. The book, entitled "Porry Hatter and the Stone Philosopher", was described as "a real parody created according to all canons of the parody genre. It deliberately grotesquely describes adventures of Porry Hatter, a negative double of Harry Potter, who finds himself in an unusual magic family."
