Book The II: Harry Potter and the Mysteriffic Wizard-Stuffers of Korea-chusetts

SYNOPSIS: Now learning the magical art of Surger-icianhood, Harry Potter must also confront his inner demons in the form of Frank Burns, an annoying little wizard who tries to steal Harry's Bag of Spells. Harry also learns some interesting secrets about the tent he's staying in (hint: it has a mysterious history!), and stumbles upon the Mysteriffic Wizard-Stuffers of Korea-chusetts, which is basically just a dragon wearing a funny hat. The dragon tells Harry that he's adopted, which Harry knew already, but then he also tells him that he was adopted by his own parents. There is much astonishment.

Also, Harry and the other Surgicians take care of various injured patients. War stuff happens, people die, blah blah blah, the war goes on, etc. etc. etc.

NOTABLE MAGICAL ITEMS IN THE BOOK: Bertie Boopstat's Weird-tacular Mess Hall Knife and Fork, which cut your food before you even arrive for dinner; Sargeant Dibblethwaite's Poop-ticular Shirts of Everpresent Laundering, which stay clean even in the dirtiest of foxholes; and some guy who has one foot bigger than the other.

SAMPLE DIALOGUE:

"I'll get you yet, Harry Potter!" sneered Frank Burns as he threw one of his Goober-vacuous Dumdillio-Wobble-Potts in Harry's path.

Harry eyed it suspiciously. A Dumdillio-Wobble-Pott was very dangerous, but not if you knew the secret pass-word to deactivate the device. Fortunately for Harry, the serial number was still on the device: 2083, which Harry knew was a prime number. And thankfully Harry had studied the pass-words for prime-numbrered Dumdillio-Wobble-Potts just last week in Serial Numbers class!

"Moopa goopa," intoned Harry in his best Pass-Word-Speaking Voice, and the Dumdillio-Wobble-Pott dried up and blew away on the light summer wind.

"Oh, nertz," complained Frank Burns.
