Wizard People, Dear Reader (2004) is an unauthorized spoof soundtrack of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by Brad Neely, a comic book artist from Austin, Texas of the U.S..
This soundtrack is composed of two audio CDs. To enjoy Mr. Neely's version of the movie, one needs to have a copy of the movie (preferably a copy of North American DVD), and play the DVD muted and the audio CD at the same time. The audio CDs could be obtained by downloading two free MP3 audio files from the author's website and convert them into CDs.
"Wizard People, Dear Reader" is essentially a narrative reworking the lives of the characters of The Sorcerer's Stone and the world in which they live. Mr. Neely's unique use of appropriatied plot, characters and themes interlaced with his own brand of subversive humor has been hailed as a new art form unto itself. It is best described as the infusion of dissident subtext into a pop-culture phenomenon creating a suspension of art and reality that renders the viewer unaware of what "art" really means.
