Thank you... does it count if you got the story name wrong? |
tassiecat Thursday 7th December 2006 09:35 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
I am reminded of a scene from Monty Python (I think it is The Search for the Holy Grail) when the French (John Cleese) hurls insults at King Arthur from the battlements of the Castle Ug. Very funny, and great job. |
hahaheeheehaha Saturday 2nd December 2006 00:55 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
totally hilarious!! im getting loads of weird looks because i keep laughing! lol loved harrys insults to voldemort and ienjoyed it even though i havent watched crocoldile dundee |
TrainzStoffe Friday 1st December 2006 19:31 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
Oh my... It has been a while since I laughed that hard, that many times, in such a short period of time! The concept is... hilarious!
I probably didn't even get half of the obscure references, but the meaning behind them is pretty clear.
Yes, the text is really confusing for the first couple of "pages", and though it does gain some clarity down the line, it is still very... strange.
Not the best written work I've read (language- and story-wise), but certainly one of the most fun! And that's saying something! (If you know me, anyway). Great work! |
trustnlove Sunday 3rd September 2006 14:38 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
I have been reading on this fanfiction site for a long, long time and today is the first time I've come across this story..... FANTASTIC!!!! I loved
"aussie" Harry, and I loved this story! |
daniel_r_crazy22 Sunday 13th August 2006 20:43 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
Oh wow. At first I was a little confused. But, I think I got most of it. But, what I did get, it was really good and really funny. |
MercuryBlue Wednesday 9th August 2006 21:47 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
I really needed that laugh...and my resistance to asking what on earth you're talking about has officially crumbled. My email's MercuryBlue144@aol.com. |
willow Saturday 6th May 2006 07:23 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
that was hilarious! i don't think i've laughed that much in ages- i actually reread some jokes twice because they were that good! |
ttestagr Thursday 4th May 2006 22:04 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
I loved this fic. I was too awestruck to even laugh. My only thought through this was: They aren't... I finished reading it and laughed so hard I choked myself. |
Delfino Wednesday 26th April 2006 18:42 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
You have absolutely NO idea how hard I laughed. My dog started crawling away from me in fear. I nearly fell out of my chair. This was perfect and I loved it more than anything. My favorite scene was the very beginning, with the starting of Australian accents. Oh God, I was laughing so hard! This was a wonderful story, very creative, and amazing writing.
And the humor, of course, was the best I've ever read.
Thanks so much for sharing this with us!! |
cherry30023 Sunday 26th March 2006 03:28 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
wow. I'm australian and most of the time I only half knew what they were talking about!! I think your story is very original and funny! |

Thank you. Explanations are available on requexst. |
cckeimig Saturday 12th November 2005 20:52 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
Oh, Godl! I can't remember when I've laughed so hard! I almost fell off my chair, and I think I did wake the baby up at one point, although she fell right back asleep. Even if I don't get all the Aussie references, it was absolutely brilliant fun. I have to say the second section was the funniest, although there were lots of supremely funny bits. It was just the longest stretch of hilarity in the story. Thanks for brightening my weekend!!!

Explanations of obscure Aussie slang and references are available on request, though it's probably best to take them to private e-mail. |
MercuryBlue Friday 28th October 2005 11:45 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
I haven't laughed this hard in months. It took me a while to convince my sister I wasn't actually having a seizure. |
dragon-breeder Wednesday 26th October 2005 16:50 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
*nods and smiles* wondered how this got the "Most Out-There Award"... amusing! |

Wow! That was one of the funniest stories I've ever read! Great job all of you! n.n Oh, and if you ever do find that story about "Xander dressing up as Steve Irwin for Halloween". . . . Lol, great job! |
Thursday 7th July 2005 01:21 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match (Author Response) |
You'll have to ask Tim (jeconais) about that. I'm not a fan of "Fluffy the Campfire Layer." |
dancinginmagic Monday 25th April 2005 22:30 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
Hilarious! |
levotatingT Friday 8th April 2005 13:44 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
Once again that was an awsome story, you should seriously consider writing more!

sonicdale Thursday 24th March 2005 07:03 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
Crikey!
This was bloddy brilliant!
One of the most original, funny and best ideas I've seen. JKR would be proud, Steve Irwin would be honored. I liked it - and this Yank understood MOST of the Aussieisms. Wow.
Good work. |
CornedBee Wednesday 9th March 2005 14:40 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
Hilarious!

trogdor Friday 4th March 2005 08:59 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
I liked the Croc Hunter Harry.
"Blimey! Isn't he a beaut? Look at his thick black cloak and shiny
white mask. This species use the masks as part of their mating rituals."
"Get off me!" the Death Eater yelled as he regained his feet. He
reached around his back, trying to grab Harry, but the boy hung on with
dogged perseverance.
"Didja see that?" Harry demanded of Ginny. "He's trying to throw me off; this is a wild one!
"Now, don't try this at home, it's really dangerous. I'm going to
try and calm him down so that we can capture him without hurting him.
Once we get him all tied up, we'll put him in the jeep and take him
somewhere he can't hurt anyone."
The Death Eater growled loudly.
"The growl is a warning sign, and if I'm not really careful, he could bite me."
The masked figure thought that was a good idea, and tried to bite Harry's hand.
"Whoa!" Harry gasped as he flung one arm back, holding on with the other. "He nearly got me there."

The had to be the oddest, and yet strangely most satisfying piece of fanfiction I've ever read. And I mean that in the nicest possible way. What an excellent idea for a hex. Well done. Even in its over the top moments, it didn't try to rationalize them. Again, well done! Too funny.
|
unople Saturday 22nd January 2005 22:21 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
lol, Hil-Larious. Because I am a New Zealander, It makes it all the
more funnier to see someone write a fic kind of taking the +blocked+ out of
the Aussies (J/K). I thought your idea was very original, and I especially liked seeing as a 'vile, stinking rat-bag'. Commenting about 's
Bristols was classic - the amount of times i've heard that word being
used! If there are any Aussies out there that i've offended by my
post, then I'm hiding behind my brick wall

takon65 Tuesday 18th January 2005 13:57 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
I loved this piece!
But I want you to know, y'all are evil,evil,evil individuals. I won't be able to watch 'Crocodile Dundee' or 'Steve Irwin The Crocodile Hunter' ever again. I would expect them to hop on thier firebolts and look for the snitch.
Thanks alot for the laughs,
Takon |
Pugpal Sunday 2nd January 2005 19:17 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
OH. MY. GOSH! BRILLIANT! *coughs* sorry for yelling. I just couldn't contain my praise. *applauds* wonderful! |
Delani Monday 27th September 2004 01:58 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
*rolling around on floor*
HAHAHAHA!!! *wipes away tears*
"I say, Old Bean!" No matter how hard they try, my friends can not get me to stop calling them Old Bean. That is just priceless. Humor is the only thing more prominent than randomness/craziness in this, which is absolutely fabulous! Jolly good, really. I say Old bean, it's just grand!

Right you are, Old Fruit...
Would you believe I got the "old bean" bit from Heckle and Jeckle? No, neither would I, but it sounds good, doesn't it?
Glad you enjoyed the madness. Who knows, there might be more to come... |
Gridley Tuesday 17th August 2004 14:53 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
And now for something completely different...
Well, it was. Very good stuff. :-) |
CindyM Wednesday 21st July 2004 10:34 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
As a follow Aussie, i have to say i'm VERY impressed with your knowledge of Aussie slang. Laughed myself sick through the whole thing. BRILLIANT. |
Monday 22nd November 2004 14:10 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match (Author Response) |
Well, I flamin' well ought to know Aussie slang -- I only lived there for 30 years! |
Serendipity Tuesday 13th July 2004 15:28 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
Harry tightened his legs around the Death Eater as the masked man writhed. "Blimey! Isn't he a beaut? Look at his thick black cloak and shiny white mask. This species use the masks as part of their mating rituals."
Okay, that made me bust out laughing for a good 5 minutes. The whole crocodile hunter piece was just brilliant.

VERY GOOD MATE! |
Rhymes With Orange Monday 12th July 2004 17:41 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
Most excellent. As an American, a great deal of it made no sense at all, and yet still managed to be funny. I pity the fool that messes with Aussie!Harry.
Makes me want to have a cold one, though. |
Shalli Monday 12th July 2004 12:52 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
Absa-bloody-lutely brilliant. Saw the beginning of this over at SQ and was hoping that it would one day make it into full story form.
The only possible problem I can find is that when Harry said 'stone the crows' there was no 'flammin'' in there. Alf'd be turning in his grave... except that characters in H&A don't do that on a regular basis, especially the live ones.
Oh and good stuff with the 'prawns' reference. For a second I was expecting the almost obligatory annoyance that is 'shrimp' but you came through with the goods.
|
Monday 12th July 2004 12:52 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match (Author Response) |
That's twice you have me baffled: first, the reference to SQ; and second, the bit about shrimp.
AFAIK, this story was begun and only exists on PS -- the first half or thereabouts in the Authors' Forum of the Perch, and the full story here (and only here!). I have thought about putting it up on SIYE, but will have to clear that with Allie and Tim first. I don't think it fits SQ's requirements in terms of timescale, plot, etc.
the almost obligatory annoyance that is 'shrimp' Why would I use anything other than prawns? Quite apart from the fact that shrimp are very rare in Oz whereas prawns are plentiful, that line is a small reference to a famous ad featuring Paul Hogan, and he talks about prawns, you may be sure! Am I missing something here, other than a chance to use the line "don't come the raw prawn"? |
Kelleypen Monday 12th July 2004 11:41 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
Thank you for the laughs, and the laughs, and the laughs! |
Tosca Monday 12th July 2004 11:20 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
This is so fun!
You all rock. |
AutumnHeart Monday 12th July 2004 09:08 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant...
I haven't laughed so much in ages You just need references to some Banjo Patterson poetry and to the various football codes and you've got the full collection.
AutumnHeart the Aussie (Oi! Oi! Oi!)
|
Monday 12th July 2004 09:08 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match (Author Response) |
I hadn't thought of Banjo Patterson... Problem is, that makes me think of a very funny Paul Hogan sketch (The Man From Snowy River II) and that would be a bit too obscure.
No way am I going to start football wars here , but I could have done something about farnarkling -- now, that would baffle everyone! |
Jaquelyne Monday 12th July 2004 05:42 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
Ok.. you take a Kiwi, an Aussie and Brit then give them coppulous amounts of alcohol and allow them to write.. what do you get??? Insanity... Pure and Simple.
The funny thing about the Steve Irwin reference is that I kept thinking of another Aussie that is making a slight splash back in the states. James Lundy the wombat. He is a carpenter on a Home improvment show called In a Fix on The Learning Channel. His catch phrase, Isn't she a beaut!
This was very funny guys... just so you know there was also a couple Scots that laughed along with me as they read over my shoulder. One of which only knows what her children have told her about the HP fandom.
well done!

bloody bewdy mates.better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick.Fair go, thought I'd have to hope your chooks grew up to be emus and kicked your dunny down when you let loose with that Steve Irwin stuff but you came through.Where can I join EEDSALPOT? |
Monday 12th July 2004 03:13 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match (Author Response) |
You've just been accepted as a member. You know your duties...
And for all that Tim says to blame me, the Steve Irwin stuff is all his. I am proud to say that the only time I've ever seen Irwin is in that notorious shot where the galah has his very small child in his arms while messing about with crocs! Poor kid, with a dad like that... |
Allie Kiwi Monday 12th July 2004 02:07 | Harry Potter and the Great Slanging Match |
Bravo, Phil! That has to be the single most original way to get rid of Voldemort that I have read.
My two favourite parts were:
Off to one side, Viktor Krum was yelling something utterly incomprehensible in Bulgarian to devastating effect; just what he was doing to the unfortunate targets of his insults cannot properly be described, even in Bulgarian. Be grateful.
and:
...soon the powerful Dark army was a collection of medium-to-large piles of revolting-looking organic matter around which a number of extremely peculiar animals (some rather wet) wandered and occasionally fought one another as they tried to work out which, if any, of the lumps were edible.
Excellent stuff! |
