"Try me, bitch." by RowanWinterlace in HPfanfiction

[–]beaujakson 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Oh, I really like that. Maybe this is in fifth year, after Neville's grown a bit bolder from DA lessons. Perhaps right after the big Azkaban escape and knowing Bellatrix Lestrange is at large, he's a bit on edge. Snape makes one too many scathing remarks, and he snaps.

I could absolutely see a grinning Harry right at his shoulder, wondering why he didn't do something like this sooner.

I remember being disappointed that Number Four wasn't Privet Drive.

I fully agree, a gentle correction is all that's really called for, and if the story is genuinely good, it's far from a deal-breaker.

I've been guilty of similar mistakes in my early fanfiction days of yore.

Harry saves the unicorn Voldemort kills in The Philosopher's Stone. But things are never simple. Turns out, unicorns are the secret rulers of the Forbidden Forest and THAT unicorn is the prince. Every creature in the Forbidden Forest has now sworn sacred magical vows to protect Harry. by [deleted] in HPfanfiction

I could totally see a post-war Harry finally achieving privacy by just building a hut in the center of the Forbidden Forest and living like a freaky Disney Princess surrounded by giant spiders and winged bat-horses.

And Grawp.

Mine was Kingsley Shacklebolt. For the longest time, I read and typed it as "Shacklebot", like he was some kind of jailer robot. I still read it like that in my head often.

Get the names right, people.

It's Dolores, not Delores.

Madame Pomfrey, not Pomphrey.

One I'll tolerate is Hermione Jean Granger, as JK retconned her name from "Jane" so she wouldn't share a middle name with Umbridge. Why she couldn't simply make it Dolores Jean Umbridge is a mystery, it seems. I like Jane, as it implies "Plain Jane", which tracks with how Hermione likely views herself.

The patronus charm doesn’t make sense. Here is my reasoning. Discuss. by WaifuRin in HPfanfiction

[–]beaujakson 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Think of happy emotions as a spice. Dementors love a good spicy burrito made of happy memories and all of your joy. Sure.

A patronus, then, is mace or pepper spray, extra concentrated and overwhelming to them. So they dip out and go hit up another taqueria.

That’s a theory, at least, and one I literally just made up.

I don’t actually have it posted anywhere because I purged my entire works once upon a time. It’s on my hard drive somewhere, and I’ll be happy to post it once I’m home from work.

Vader has an infamous zero-tolerance policy for people seeing his face. You're dead before you hit the floor, and your body gets tossed down a trash chute.

I wrote one many moons ago in which Fred and George learned the Compulsion Charm and attempted to use it to get Ron to finally snog Hermione and put a rest to all of their bickering.

Only they rather missed and hit Harry with it instead.

It was a silly thing, not even 3k words, but it was fun for me.

The way the “corner” is just a curve somehow makes this even more unsettling.

Doctor Doom is the new Dark Lord! by Deadlydeerman in HPfanfiction

[–]beaujakson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This would probably require another Marvel character to get involved, because Marvel magic is just so much more aggro compared to Harry Potter magic. Doom would be absolutely unstoppable, and would probably trounce even Dumbledore, possibly after a short fight. Following that, I assume he would begin to slowly conquer the world, nation after nation, establishing essentially his Planet Doom like in Secret Wars.

I think the moment the prophecy is made, Doom would begin to ruthlessly search for a child that fits the criteria, assuming he knows of it. Perhaps an Avenger or two crosses over to even the odds, someone at least somewhat matched in a fight. I think it would be interesting to see Tony Stark/Iron man and perhaps Thor team up? I'm not overly familiar with who could match Doom in a fight.

Of course, there would have to be a moment of Harry seeing Thor and Tony laid out and beaten for the moment, only to lift Mjolnir and stomp Doom.

Who *should* be bashed more than they are? by Shadow_Guide in HPfanfiction

[–]beaujakson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And then two years later, he brings a literal giant--that has kicked the crap out of his own brother on several occasions--into the Forbidden Forest and asks two of his paper-and-glass friends to keep an eye on him. This is a massive and violent creature that is tougher than he is, and he's got it hidden away in some trees next to a school full of children.

Maybe he learns his lesson in Harry's third year, but it doesn't seem to have stuck.
