Barry Hotter and the Unicorn Hallows by Jaylla P.

Barry Hotter and the Unicorn Hallows



There once lived a boy named Barry Hotter. He was destined to be the most powerful wizard in the world, but he wasn’t aware that he obtained any type of power at all. He lived with his aunt Vick and uncle Rick, in a nice house in Britain. Unfortunately, Barry’s aunt and uncle didn’t treat him like a relative, but as if he were a slave. Barry was very obedient. He followed every demand that he was told to perform from his caretakers, but they never appreciated Barry. Barry also has a cousin that lives with him and his aunt and uncle, named Louis. Louis is an extremely spoiled troublemaker. He intrudes on and irritates Barry when he’s sleeping or doing something important. The only place that Barry can be alone is in his room, a cupboard underneath the stairs. But even there, Louis makes trouble to him. Barry just wants to be saved from the daily chaos he’s put through.

“Ding dong!” “Barry! Get the mail!” exclaimed Uncle Rick. Barry quietly traveled from his closet of a room, to the front door, picked up the mail, and brought it to Uncle Rick. Barry saw that he received a letter. Uncle thought it was a mistake and he threw it away because Barry hasn’t received a letter in many years. He turned around, and there it was again, on the kitchen table. “Barry!” he said. “What is this non-sense? Stop it this instance!” Barry was confused and softly said “But I’m not doing anything, uncle.” Rick slowly turned his head looking at Barry with a stern look and a red fiery face. “Do not talk back to me! Who do you think you are, boy? You live under my house, so you follow my rules! Cut it out!” Uncle Rick grabbed the letter, viciously ripped it in half and threw it away. He continued looking through the mail and he found the letter in his hands, once again. He looked at the letter addressed from “Frogspots School for Witches and Wizards” and said “HAH! What is this nonsense of a school? Why, witches and wizards don’t exist. Why would they send this to you, you’re practically non-existent!”

Barry felt hurt and snatched the letter out of his Uncle’s hands and ran to the cupboard he lives in. He locked the door and quickly opened the letter. “Hello, Mr. Hotter. You have been chosen to be one of the first students to attend Frogspots School for Witches and Wizards.” Barry read this and he felt accepted, for once in his life. As the banging and yelling from the other side of his door started to stop, he packed his clothes in a suitcase and ran towards the door. He opened the front door and ran through. But he wasn’t in his uncle and aunt’s front yard, he was at Frogspots School for Witches and Wizards. He was so amazed, he was filled with amazement and excitement. Barry was speechless and he didn’t know what was happening. “Is this real? Am I dreaming? This can’t be happening.” Barry had so many thoughts racing through his mind.

“Watch out where you’re going, will you?” said John Weasels. Barry replied and said “oh, my bad. I was just so amazed… I… I’m sorry.” “Ah, you must be new here to Frogspots. Don’t worry about it, my name is John.” Barry shook his hand and gave a sweet smile. John showed him around Frogspots and told him dramatized stories about the magic battles and situations that has occurred in the past at Frogspots. “Legend has it, that if you go to the Unicorn Mountains and search for the Unicorn hallows, then the mighty Unimort will snatch your wand and drain you from your magical powers for all eternity. The worst part about it, he doesn’t even have a nose! That’s crazy! He wouldn’t even be able to smell the most delicious food in the world! I could never live a life like that!” Barry was interested in this myth, and responded and said “The Unicorn Hallows? What is that?” John stopped walking and with amazement, he said “You don’t know what the Unicorn Hallows is?!” Barry looked confused as he shook his head from side to side.

A little voice came out from behind John and said “The Unicorn Hallows? I know all about that! You see, the Unicorn Hallows consists of 3 objects. There’s a wand made out of a unicorn horn, a unicorn fur coat, and the stone of the unicorns. The want made out of unicorn horn has the most powerful magic in the wizard world, do you know how many rain forests you can clean with that amount of magic?! Oh! And the unicorn fur coat is supposed to let you shape shift into any form at any time. And lastly, the stone of the unicorns, I heard that’s very special. When you take custody of the stone, a unicorn comes down from the sky and it’s your life-long chariot. It sounds pretty magnificent if you ask me.” John looked at her and responded “Who are you? Do you even go here?” “I am Harmony Ranger, I have attended Frogspots for 10 years, John Weasels!” Harmony walks away and returns to her room.

“That journey to Unicorn Mountain sounds pretty adventurous” said Barry. John looked at him and said “Of course it’s adventurous! The rocky hills and steep and dark mountains make you feel like you’re living life on the edge! Don’t let the name Unicorn Mountains fool you, those mountains are nothing but fright-filled madness!” Barry left the room and headed towards the library to do research on the Unicorn Mountains. He knew this was the journey that he was destined to go on, and he was inspired by the heroes and the battles that John was telling him about. He was so interested in the Unicorn Mountains; he just wanted to feel like a hero for the first time in his life.

Barry marched up to his room and told John “I know what I’m destined for!” John was quietly blogging on a magical website and stared at Barry. “I’m destined to find the Unicorn Hallows and become a hero!” John looked at Barry with disbelief and went back to scrolling on his laptop and said, “How are you going to do that? You don’t even have a wand or any magical training.” Barry knew that John pointed out a good issue and he had to go buy a wand immediately. Barry went to the wand shop and bought a wand that was perfect for him. His wand was 5 inches and made out of red wood. He was so amazed with his wand, he was really excited to learn how to use it.

Barry returned to his room and told John “Okay! I got my wand! I’m ready!” John looked at him and responded, “You don’t even know how to use a wand!” Harmony Ranger popped out from behind Barry and said, “I can teach you that! And if you’re really planning on going to the Unicorn Hallows, you’ll need all the help you can get.” John looked at Harmony and said, “Where do you come from? You’re always popping up everywhere so randomly! You give me heart attacks!” Harmony ignored John and said “Barry, you should take classes from Professor Snake. He’s a really good teacher and his teaching is brilliant!” John laughed and said, “Professor Snake?! Are you serious? He’s a weirdo, he’s lost his mind!” Barry looked at Harmony and John and said, “I don’t think I have time to take classes! I need to get to the Unicorn Mountains and get the Unicorn Hallows before anyone else can! Can you guys just teach me some tips? Please?” John and Harmony gladly accepted and they were off on their journey to the Unicorn Mountains!

Over the rocky hills and the rigid mountains, they traveled in search of the Unicorn Hallows. Barry learned how to use his wand, and he was getting extremely good at learning spells and performing them. He was getting better than Harmony and John. Throughout their journey, the 3 of them learned new things and they became better wizards. They went through the Bunny Forest, the Jungle of Cries, the Cross Crow Hills, and finally, they reached the Unicorn Mountains.

Barry, Harmony, and John went up to the very top of the mountain because that’s where the Unicorn Hallows is located. Half way up there, they came across the dark lord, Unimort. Unimort said “You there, you are Barry Hotter.” Barry was surprised he knew him and he responded “Yes, and who are you?” Lord Unimort said “I am the Dark Lord, Lord Unimort. I am undefeatable and I am the protector of the Unicorn Hallows.” Barry was intimidated by his scary looks. Unimort was pale as snow, he had big eyes that bulge out of his eye sockets, and he had no nose. Barry said “Well then, I battle you for the Unicorn Hallows!” Unimort gave an evil smile and took out his wand. He said a great spell and pointed his wand towards Barry. Barry quickly reacted and took out his wand and protected himself. He shot out magic through the tip of his wand and it hit Unimort. Unimort flew backwards and Barry quickly put a spell on him that put him to sleep for an eternity.

Barry, John, and Harmony ran up to the top of the mountain and found the Unicorn Hallows. John and Harmony were too scared to obtain it because they felt they weren’t ready for that much responsibility. Barry was brave and he took the Unicorn Hallows and obtained it. He took out the stone and he called on his unicorn chariot, which brought him and his friends back to Frogwarts. He returned to his dorm and everyone had heard about his victory against the mighty Lord Unimort. Everyone was congratulating him and calling him a hero. Barry loved this feeling and it was the first time he was feeling that type of emotion.

He bought the rest of his school supplies and he said, “This is going to be a great school year.” He placed the Unicorn Hallows on his desk and he went to unpack his stuff. His patron animal, which he bought for Wizardry 101 class, was a penguin. His penguin wobbled around his room and bumped into his desk. The Unicorn Hallows fell onto the ground and his penguin looked at it and ate it. Magical dust came out of his mouth as he burped after eating it. Barry didn’t know what to do. His penguin just ate the most powerful type of magic in the world! Barry let it go and said “Well, I guess it’s time for another adventure!”

  1. I totally love your title "Barry Hotter and the Unicorn Hallows." I could vividly picture Barry obtaining the Unicorn Hallows, just like how Harry Potter did that scene. My favorite part is when they rode on the unicorn chariot back to Frogwarts. Good job! :)

  2. You did a super good job of parodying Harry Potter! I love how you made up cute names for the characters but still had some similarity. Great job!

  3. You did an OK job. I found your humor a little clumsy and at times you followed the book a little TOO closely, but good show overall!

  4. Wonderful details! The penguin staggering around and burning magical dust is a pretty funny image. Some verb tense problems.
