Presented by the Brilliant Lecture Series, Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience — A Parody by Dan and Jeff, packs the entire seven-book story into 70 fast-paced minutes (do the math — that’s ten minutes per book). Improvisational actors Delme Thomas and James Percy conjure up some 360 Potter characters. This impressive hyper-shortened version of the series even includes a Quiddich match. Potted Potter makes digesting the series not only immensely entertaining but also incredibly efficient. Now that’s seductive.
