Thomas Joshman is a young, bullied boy with fear issues. But everything begins to change when he receives a letter from a [[CallToAdventure mysterious unknown]], who invites him to the National Magical Academy of Milkenshland.

Only when Ebony, Thomas' mother, reveals that she is a witch and once went to Milkenshland can Thomas go. Thomas takes a magical plane to the academy, and he embarks on a year of adventure that sees him struggling with the wizards' language and customs, becoming captain of the Fobull team, and even battling demons!

Particularly noteworthy is the point at which Tom wakes up after ''being in the hospital for a week'' and is, for no reason, told that he was made Fobull defender, despite the fact that "first years never get to be on the Fobull team," and he has shown no aptitude for the sport whatsoever.

The first in a series of six short books by =Donut4=. This begins the tale of the eponymous Thomas Joshman in his world, which sounds remarkably like a poorly-written summary of Literature/HarryPotter with [[SerialNumbersFiledOff all the names changed.]] Its main appeal is of the SoBadItsGood variety—and it certainly has that in spades.

to:
* AdaptationDistillation: Due to the fact that the book essentially summarizes the ~300 page Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone into about 4 pages. It does, however, do surprisingly well in keeping most of the events of the book, though in compressed form.
* AdaptationExplanationExtrication: Because of the above AdaptationDistillation, there are several of these. Particularly noteworthy is the point at which Tom wakes up after ''being in the hospital for a week'' and is, for no reason, told that he was made Fobull defender, despite the fact that "first years never get to be on the Fobull team," and he has shown no aptitude for the sport whatsoever.
* AuthorAppeal: The author has a strange affinity for ASCII fractions.
-->Tom felt really offended but he couldn’t go to the headmaster twice in one ½ minutes.
* DullSurprise: Several, likely due to the compressed nature of the story. At one point, Tim and Tom's friends are dying off mysteriously. After the second one dies, Tom goes to the headmaster and calmly tells him, "Another friend dead sir." Tim, however, manages to outdo him the next day:
-->Tim was worried about failing in Potions Class but Thomas then shouted “TIMOTHY WOOLUSTUC!!! OUR FRIENDS ARE DYING!!!!” Tim stared for a second and continued writing ways to not fail potions.
* {{Expy}}: Nearly every single character is directly correlated with one or more from Literatue/HarryPotter, although Hermione is conspicuously absent.
** Thomas Joshman, the main character, is of course Harry Potter.
** Ebony, his mother, is a combination of Petunia Dursley and Lily Potter. Reginald, his father, is unambiguously Vernon Dursley.
** Pat, Thomas' brother, is Dudley Dursley.
** Percy Bendrist, the headmaster, is Albus Dumbledore.
** [[PunctuationShaker Imsto-Arpeu +=E) Fcreeb]], the Humand Studies teacher, is Professor Quirrell.
* LudicrousPrecision: At one point, Quelfree scolds Frederick for being ''2 ¼ seconds'' late!
* WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma: The author's approach to punctuation seems to be of the "throw it in wherever it looks good" variety. From the very first paragraph:
-->The lock opened itself and the door opened, Thomas was super-scared and he flung the blanket on him and kept so still the bed was flat; the shadow came in and knew Thomas was there, so the shadow pulled the quilt over and Thomas opened his eyes, all left there was a letter.
