Line 1: {{work}} [[File:Wizardpeople_8161.jpg\|frame\|This wizard has seen YOU.]] {{quote\| ''The god-wheel of fate has stopped for all these kiddies on "yes." Yes in-fucking-deed, you will be a wizard.''}} '''''Wizard People, Dear Reader''''' is a 2004 free audio file by [[Brad Neely]] that provides a humorous [[Gag Dub\|alternative narration]] of [[Harry Potter\|Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone]], meant to be listened to alone or in sync with [[The Film of the Book\|the movie]]. [https://archive.org/details/wizard-people/ It is available] at the [[Internet Archive]]. Much of the humor comes from Neely's modifications to many characters and plot elements, as well as his [[Lemony Narrator\|distinct style of narration]], including obnoxious hyperbole, awkward similes, and the tendency to get gradually more vulgar as the movie goes on. {{tropelist}} * [[The Adjectival Superhero]]: The wretched Harmony, the near-dead Dumbledore... Line 11 ⟶ 12: * [[Ambiguously Gay]]: "Snake, astonished that she has an admirer, and Mouthoil, astonished that he likes women." * [[Badass]]: Harry, Harry's dad {{spoiler\|who's actually his step-dad}} {{quote\| "Your father was also a badass."}} * [[Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs]]: Apples! Candied Apples! Appled Candy! Candied Whiskey! Apple Fritters! Also [[Purple Prose]]. ** Also, the Sorceror's Stones powers include: lead into gold, horses into gold, immortal life, giving ghosts restored bodies, frag trolls, trolls into gold . . . Line 27 ⟶ 28: * [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: {{spoiler\|Val-Mart is Harry's father.}} * [[Metaphorgotten]] {{quote\| '''Narrator:''' ''Her voice was chilling, like a piano made of frozen Windex.''~~<br />~~ ''She had the face like that of a burnt out candle stick.'' }} * [[Mister Seahorse]]: {{spoiler\|Hagar is the dragon's mother.}} Line 38 ⟶ 39: * [[Running Gag]]: Pretty much everything Brad Neely ever says, but especially his tendency to rename characters, often inconsistently. ** Also, the alcoholism of nearly every character. And Harry's love of small horse figurines. {{quote\| 'Oh, how the wine talks...', 'Harry produces many a wine-out-of-nowhere spell, and is drunk every day before noon..."}} * [[Unreliable Voiceover]]: Wait, I don't see any whiskey flasks... ** If you are watching the screen as the gang passes Cerberus, you might be skeptical of Neely when he says that The Wretched Harmony is being mauled to death, since on screen she appears to be perfectly fine. {{quote\| 'Its so fast, dear readers, that you guys can't even see that it just goes right ahead and takes a big chunk out of Harmony. He bites what is most of her head off. She is dead in an instant.'}} {{reflist}} ~~[[Category:Wizard People Dear Reader]]~~ {{Harry Potter Franchise}} ~~[[Category:Pages needing more categories]]~~ [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Fan Works]] [[Category:Fan Works of the 2000s]] [[Category:Web Original]] [[Category:Web Original of the 2000s]] [[Category:Harry Potter/Fan Works]]
