9	Kathrin Fricke (a.k.a. coldmirror, Kaddi or Kreatur im Spiegel[[note]]Creature in the mirror[[/note]]) is a German Website/{{Youtube}}r who became famous for her {{Gag Dub}}s of the ''Film/HarryPotter'' movies. So far, she has completed three movies: "Harry Potter und ein Stein” [[note]]Harry Potter and a Stone[[/note]], "Harry Potter und der geheime Pornokeller" [[note]]Harry Potter and the Secret Porn Basement[[/note]], and "Harry Potter und der Plastikpokal" [[note]]Harry Potter and the Plastic Trophy[[/note]].
10
11	Apart from dubbing, Coldmirror does sketches on various themes, a VlogSeries, Misheard Lyrics and has created two animated web series, WebAnimation/{{Japanoschlampen}} and WebAnimation/StarStarSpace.
12
13	Due to her enormous popularity, the German radio station You FM took notice of her and offered Coldmirror her own category on their website where she reviewed new computer games ("Game Checks") twice a month.
14
15	She even had her own TV show: Starting from October 2010, the small station [[UsefulNotes/GermanTVStations Einsfestival]] was broadcasting "Coldmirror - The Clip Show" once a month. The 10-minute Clip Show was modelled very closely on her Youtube channel and included {{Gag Dub}}s, Game Checks, parodies of commercials and Misheard Lyrics. The last episode was broadcast in 2016.
16
17	After the conclusion of her TV show and her animated series WebAnimation/{{Japanoschlampen}}, she started her new animated webseries WebAnimation/StarStarSpace for funk.net.
18
19	On {{Website/Youtube}}, she can be found on [[https://www.youtube.com/user/coldmirror her channel]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEWxyczUowI Her parody of the first HP movie was translated to English]], but as the original contains loads and loads of untranslatable inside jokes[[note]](many of which cannot even be understood by anyone other than her close friends and internet stalkers)[[/note]], you should really [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwk0B9PCBu3_8pvOidTO28ei9VnVVIwHD check it out in German]][[note]]this links to a playlist with all parts, some duplicate[[/note]] if you can speak it.

21	----
22	!! Tropes in Coldmirror's videos:
23
24	* TheAbridgedSeries: Averted, since only a few, less interesting scenes are cut; it was not Coldmirror's intention to shorten the movies. She began the Dubs before the concept of Abridged series was even invented.
25	* AffectionateParody:
26	** The Gag Dubs, along with every video concerning Harry Potter.
27	** "Was wäre, wenn Website/{{Youtube}} das reale Leben wäre?" (What if You Tube was RealLife?") is one about habits on Youtube.
28	** "Miss Tutorial" parodies the style of Herr Tutorial, another famous German Website/{{Youtube}}r who does [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Tutorials]].
29	** {{WebAnimation/Japanoschlampen}} is this to anime, especially commercial ones.
30	** {{WebAnimation/Star Star Space}} is this to Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate and basically all Science Fiction that ever graced a screen.
31	* AllMenArePerverts: In her Harry Potter parodies.
32	* AmbiguousGender: [[DubNameChange Lucy]] Malfoy. Most likely he/she/it is a {{Hermaphrodite}}
33	* AuthorAppeal: Coldmirror sure likes [[EverythingsDeaderWithZombies zombies]], Harry Potter, video games and Creator/DougJones.
34	* BigNo[=/=]SlowNo: Parodied.
35	-->[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKA4TW3-vBc Noooooooooooin!!]]
36	* BlackHumor
37	* ButtMonkey:
38	** Dumbledore only hired Hagrid because he knew the half-giant would be [[ButtMonkey perfect for the role]].
39	** [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire Cedric]], who is constantly reminded that he will die [[BreakingTheFourthWall at the end of the movie]].
40	** The [[HufflepuffHouse Hufflepuffs]]. Special mention goes to "Extra no. 27".
41	* CharacterDerailment: Played for laughs in the Dubs. The most prominent example is Fresh Dumbledore (Fresh D for short), who is basically Professor Dumbledore [[RecycledInSpace AS A RAPPER]]. Other characters include a gay Draco, a JerkAss Hermione and a butt dumb Ron. [[invoked]]
42	* CatchPhrase: Coldmirror's very special way of pronouncing "Hi!", "Tschüss Kinder!" and Fresh D's "[[TotallyRadical Hey Yo!]]".
43	* CharacterNameAndTheNounPhrase: Parodied in "Harry Potter und schon wieder irgendwas".
44	* CloudCuckooLander: Ron
45	* ContinuityNod: Many throw-away one-liners (such as Hermione learning three wikipedia articles a day by heart) are referred to in later videos and become canon.
46	* CookingDuel: Dumbledore and Voldemort have a rap battle in the song "Fresh D vs. MC V".
47	* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: In two videos called "Patzer" ("bloopers") and "Patzer: Folge 2" she lists really dumb mistakes concerning Harry Potter in magazines and on websites, such as mistaking Lucius Malfoy, Snape and even Mr. Ollivander for Lord Voldemort; referring to characters Professor Snake, Sung (Cho Chang, in case you've wondered), Drago [[strike: Malfroy]] [[strike: Mafloy]] Malefoy and Hermione Gringer (no, not [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983 Cringer]]); and giving Voldemort's name as Valdemort, Voldemoort, Voldermort or Waldemort - Coldmirror suggests to rename him into He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named-Correctly.
48	* CrapsackWorld: In the dubs, Harry is constantly being harrassed by about every teacher, Dumbledore doesn't care about the students or protecting Hogwarts from Voldemort, he just wants to be a rapper, and the trio spends their time playing cruel jokes on Hagrid or Neville.
49	* CreepyChild: Coldmirror in her review on VideoGame/EdnaAndHarveyHarveysNewEyes.
50	--> ''[[CreepyMonotone "Death is funny"]]''
51	* DeadpanSnarker: Snape. Coldmirror herself also qualifies sometimes.
52	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment:
53	** "It's an invisible-making Invisibility Cloak which makes you invisible!"
54	** [[HollywoodSatanism Dead corpses!]]
55	* TheDitz: Neville; Hagrid and Ron show shades of this as well.
56	* EleventyZillion: Achtzehnhundertelfundsiebzig (Eighteen-hundred-seventy-eleven), Neuzehnhundertzwölfundachtzig (Nineteen-hundred-eighty twelve)... - Dumbledore does this often, when telling stories about his youth.
57	--> ''[[UnreliableNarrator I strongly doubt that you witnessed this era, let alone that this era even exists ...]]''
58	* FantasyForbiddingFather: When she was young, Kathrin's father criticised her for staying in her room, drawing (she draws excellent) and dreaming all day and wanted her to do "something useful" instead. Maybe one reason why she hasn't had any contact with him for ten years now.
59	* GermanHumour
60	* GratuitousEnglish / TotallyRadical: Fresh D wants the pupils to think he's cool. It doesn't work.
61	* GrossoutShow: the "audio drama" ''Harry Potter und Zitronenbonbons'' qualifies
62	* HahahaNo: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRwW08TbwC0 At 02:11]]
63	* HarassingPhoneCall: Parodied in "Bei Anruf Mord!"
64	* HitlerAteSugar: The Weasley twins say this when the candyman introduces himself.
65	* HufflepuffHouse: Lampshaded.
66	* ImYourWorstNightmare:
67	--> Harry: "Where am I?"
68	--> Voldemort: "In your worst nightmare!"
69	--> Harry: "Waking up without my penis is my worst nightmare."
70	-->''Harry describes his other nightmares while Voldy gets more and more impatient. Several minutes later..''
71	--> Voldemort: "In your 46th-worst nightmare!"
72	--> Harry: [[SarcasmMode "Oh no! Fear!"]]
73	* IronButtMonkey: Attempts at killing Neville have become a popular sport at Hogwarts. They always fail.
74	--> "Is Neville dead now?" "Oh snap, Neville's still alive."
75	* LargeHam: Snape had a ''literal'' one at the beginning of the second movie. After a long explanation by Ron and Harry why they are late for school he just shouts “[[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Schinken!]]” (which translates to “Ham”). Confronted with their dumbfounded expressions, he smugly adds that they probably weren't expecting him to say something so snappy.
76	* LetsPlay: So far she did Let's Plays for the videogames of James Cameron's ''Avatar'' and the games of the 6th and 7th Harry Potter movies.
77	* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99mA-9tiMtE Geht wählen oder sterbt]] features nearly every popular German You Tube comedian.
78	* MoodWhiplash: Any video featuring her younger sister, who died in a car accident in 2007 at the age of seventeen. They wrote a hauntingly beautiful [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRRbFLuRaq8 song]] as a tribute to her as well.
79	* ParrotExposition: Parodied
80	--> ''Mme Ponfrey: "Everyone who ate your candy got sick!"''
81	--> ''Dumbledore:: Got sick?"''
82	--> ''"Yes, they all got racking toothaches!"''
83	--> ''"Toothaches?"''
84	--> ''"Are you playing "echo" again?"
85	--> ''"Echo again?"''
86	* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Fresh D, Hermione in “Harry Potter und schon wieder irgendwas”.
87	* ProductPlacement: Often parodied. For example, Voldemort used the Haribo jelly sweets slogan as a line in "Fresh D. vs. MC V".
88	* RunningGag: In her ''Avatar'' Let's Play, she somehow managed to get stuck in the scenery every time she was driving a vehicle. Then [[HilarityEnsues she got stuck in mid-air]] while riding one of the giant birds and quit the game rather frustrated.
89	** [[MemeticMutation Schinken!]]
90	** Fresh D has one: "Äpfel sind wirklich gesund!"
91	** Also, Fresh D fucking [[YourMom your grandmother]].
92	* ShowWithinAShow: "Hässliche mutierte Scheiß-Tiere suchen ein Zuhause" [[note]]Some Fucking Ugly-ass Mutated Animals Looking for a Home[[/note]] and "Wood`s Sooper-Dooper-Shop"
93	* ToiletHumor: Mostly in her early works.
94	* TooDumbToLive: Neville, but Ron also fits: "Ron, don't think so hard! It will harm your brain."
95	* TotallyRadical: Fresh Dumbledore with his PissTakeRap.
96	* VillainsOutShopping: Voldemort spends 90% of "Harry Potter und schon wieder irgendwas" on the sofa watching TV. The rest of the time he surfs the internet and buys stuff on Ebay.
97	* VoiceClipSong: Some of Fresh Dumbledore's raps are Remixes of quotes from the movies or the {{Blooper}}s from the German audiobooks.
