Choose a novel which you have read, preferably one that would be well-known by the general public, and consider how it could be satirised in the way we have discussed the makers of “The Simpsons” appropriate famous texts.
Write a submission to the makers of “The Simpsons”, “Family Guy” or “South Park” to present your ideas for an episode. Include a brief 3-4 sentence synopsis of the main storyline of the original text, followed by 2-3 sentences which outline the major themes which your episode would focus on. (10 marks)
Harry Potter the novel series is a non fictional book based around a boy called Harry Potter who goes to the school of Hogwarts where he faces many problems and evil where his final battle is against the evil Lord Voldemort who is the basis around the novel and why Harry goes through school. This could be a good satirical novel because things such as Voldemort's nose being massive even though in the movies and novels he has no nose and Harry Potter's scar is an capital L for LOSER instead of it being a lighting bolt shape. The novel could be satirical as many of the things that are in the novel that are not real and do not seem to be dangerous or very funny could have a satirical side to them.
Submission to Family Guy:
Dear Family Guy
I am submitting an idea for an episode based around the Harry Potter novel series for your next episode. Harry Potter could be used within Family Guy like you created Star Wars. Each character could represent another character from Harry Potter.
Peter Griffin should be Professor Dumbledore because of the opposite that those two are Dumbledore being really wise and Peter an idiot.
Stewie should be Lord Voldemort because of his evil and his feelings towards his family as Lord Voldemort has towards Dumbledore and Harry Potter.
Meg should be Hermione
Lois should Mrs Weasley
Bryan should be Ronald Weasley
Chris should be Harry Potter
I believe that the episode should follow the last Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as this has some very good scenes of all the characters and can have some very funny and black humour during the fighting. This episode could also really focus on Harry (Chris) v.s Voldemort (Stewie) in battle.
