College Humor explains every Harry Potter in an extremely inappropriate but hilarious way
By Callum Gunn
College Humor has a knack of explaining things with, well, humor. This time it’s the Harry Potter franchise, in an inappropriate but extremely hilarious way.
As a fan of a franchise, you never really like someone else making fun. However, in the Harry Potter fandom, you know that making fun is totally allowed, especially when it’s done in a more tongue-in-cheek, parody way. That’s where College Humor’s latest works come in. The geniuses behind the brand have summed up every single Harry Potter novel/movie in an inappropriate but hilarious way and you know you just can’t argue with it.
For example, all of them start with “The Orphan Who Kept Getting Extremely Lucky,” because quite honestly that isn’t a lie. Despite the odd hiccup and bully along the way, Harry is the luckiest wizard in the world. It’s from there that the humor starts to get darker, with Voldermort becoming a “Magic Hitler” and mentions of “insanely convoluted traps.”

For those who haven’t heard of College Humor (you most likely have), it was founded in 1999 and almost instantly became a popular but offbeat provider of original content. It now offers a range of articles, videos, podcasts and more, including the likes of “Adam Ruins Everything” and “Very Mary Kate.”
The whole point of the humor is to be tongue-in-cheek. While poking fun at elements, it’s in a light-hearted way. For the Harry Potter franchise, it’s all about summarizing whole novels within a title. Like with the novels, as you get on with the books, the titles get longer and more detailed.
