Gerber, Michael

Barry Trotter is pretty disreputable and unpleasant. Imagine what he was like as a teenager. Here's the beginning of the whole sorry tale. Did Barry and Ermine do it? (Their homework, that is.) How exactly did Lon end up with a hole in his head that whistles when the wind blows? Was Lord Valumart always that crass? And where did that ridiculous German accent come from?.

Hart Fox's application to Stutts, a prestigious Ivy League school, is accepted only after he agrees to take classes for Trip Darling, the hapless son of a wealthy alumni, and although he is enthusiastic about the start of the semester, Hart soon finds himself in the midst of a very strange campus life.

Presents a parody of the Harry Potter stories in which Barry Trotter, Ermine Cringer, and Lon Measly are brought to Hogwash to vanquish the evil Lord Valumart.
