Russia has seen another parody on the Harry Potter books by J. K. Rowling, titled Porry Hatter and the Stone Philosopher. The parody was written by Andrei Zhvanlevsky and Igor Mytko, Belarussian authors of shows broadcast on Russian television, and published by the Vremya publishing house.
"As for the second imitation of Harry Potter, this book is 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," said Natalya Dolgova of the Rosman publishing house, the copyright-holder of the Harry Potter books in Russia.
