http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TExnPjqjZbo I'm pretty sure that this isn't what cosplay is all about, but maybe I'm wrong? Anyway, it's an amusing Miley Cyrus parody that includes Doctor Who, Stormtroopers and various other geek personas which means that it can't be bad. I really love the idea for the parody and for once, it's actually wilder than the original! Every element is perfect; the over sexualised nature, the horrified reactions from the other people and the bitter realisation at the end. The song is fun and well written and is a perfect addition to this list.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6gpDjWAkXg Combining Harry Potter and Miley Cyrus? It sounds like it would be disastrous but somehow, it works. I absolutely adore this video, for although it's lower tech compared to some of the other parodies, it's well written and well timed. The song is great and the introduction is a humorous reworking of the script, which doesn't fail to bring a smile. This video has it all; a catchy song about Voldemort, references to the books and the one element that every great parody needs a slight jab at Miley Cyrus! Did you hear that muggles? The Dark Lord will rise again if we keep listening to Miley!
