Such parodies are primarily mocking Torah and Yiddishkeit, i.e. mocking us. The authors generally think Judaism is about Bagels, living in the suburbs, being a “JAP”, and trying to escape from the backwards types who live in Brooklyn.
If you wanted to write a Jewish “Harry Potter” story it probably could be done, but it would have a very different taste since it would conform to our literary conventions, not their’s.
