They just number all the dyes, then again I don’t see much of red 1 or 2, interesting.
Maybe they should have given harry a brain or let them talk to people outside of their houses.
The single greatest piece of Harry potter fanfiction since My immortal and A Very Potter Musical (that was a joke, do not read my immortal). Written by that guy who told all the governments to ban gpus and stop training AI for a few years. It contains some less that forum appropriate bits but is largely a pleasant read, it is metatextual commentary on fanfiction as an artform so if you’ve never read any fanfic it will go over your head, but it’s still good. HPMOR.com
I once thought about a alternate reality where Harry decided to accept Malfoy’s friendship, become a Slytherin and going to become evil.

It is unfortunate that the original books did not have a good Slytherin student. I have not played or watched a full playthrough yet of Hogwarts Legacy, but the game makes Slytherin more realistic and fleshed out with interesting characters. Too bad Ravenclaw got the least development.
That is also great news! However, I am more of Cheerios person.

I have no idea what either of these two brands really are, other than that they’re making sweets.
Also did anybody notice how muggles apparently can have minimal magic capabilities despite it being said not to be possible?

Yeah that’s close enough to HPMOR, except that harry is a turbo genius with wild cognitive biases that he’s self aware about but had trouble getting around, trying to corrupt Draco to the light and also hermione will kill him if he gets any darker. And Dumbledore kills his pet rock (that is, by the way, a serious spoiler, it doesn’t get reveled until after the story is basically over).
Fantastic quote.
JK sees no plot holes, only ways to extend her free fall.

If we have knowledge of something written by an “evil” person, should we cleanse our mind of this knowledge as it could be taken as us supporting that person?

You just made a fantastic quote yourself, @Deathwake!
No, David Filoni is a bad Star Wars writer who always ends up contradicting existing pieces of lore. He often said “I don’t wanna be put in a box” because he doesn’t like constraints when writing. I guess he’s just lazy. Kathleen is his boss.

And I guess they were chosen for writing the official stories (whatever that might mean these days) of Star Wars sometime ago?

What are everyone’s favorite pieces of Harry Potter fanfiction?
One of mine is The Changeling, or where Ginny Weasley is put in Slytherin rather than Gryffindor.
Also, Seventh Horcrux is just plain hilarious.

He was originally part of Lucasfilm around the time of the prequels and made a very few contradictions. George Lucas had hired someone to prevent that sort of stuff, but Filoni didn’t care. Filoni wrote Ahsoka, which is apparently an extremely bad knockoff of Heir to the Empire book.
I don’t really read these days because of my depression. I used to play HogwartsRP in GMod to troll players. I would often trick or push people into the Restricted Section and then snitched them to the prefects so they would get sent to detention, because yeah, detention wasn’t school detention. You were literally sent into detention (in prison for 5 minutes without being able to do anything).

That sounds somewhat rude to these people… Unless they did bad stuff first, that is.

Hell no. Reading some excerpts of Mein Kampf was one of the most interesting and enlightening parts of my early college experience. We should put it in context. Children should know about how to intake information without trusting it. Our school system isn’t built for that. Our school system teaches that you input knowledge, then you get quized or you apply it. No one gets taught much that isn’t necessarily good or true. It isn’t til college you learn all that much nuance.

Sadly, even college education is degrading, It probably has for a long time. Undergraduates just want to regurgitate information and plug-in formulas without actually understanding what they are taught in Universities. Even in Graduate School, not every class is about “higher tier learning”, and most Graduates are more interested in finding a job for money than actually learning material. Shockingly, many Ph.D. student now do internships over their Summer Breaks rather than do research towards their Ph.D.

I don’t really know how much it’s degraded though… Think about where you here about how college used to be. In my case, it’s mostly at college, or spaces related to college. I know professors from many age groups, and lots of other college type people, and it doesn’t seem that the older ones universally loved college and the younger ones didn’t. It seems more like people who are going to college or you meet randomly have mixed opinions, and people who graduated and then chose to return to work there seem to like college. I’d call that a sampling bias. Additionally, college used to be less necessary to get a job, and cost less. If you have to go to college, you are just going to want to get it over with, if you chose it out of passion, you might be inclined to spend more time learning or researching, and less interning and trying to get good at tests. I still think college is much, much better at teaching nuance than anything before it, if solely because you need to be able to do your own research in college. In high school it’s mostly papers with predefined sources (“the text”) and before that it’s rarely even papers. You aren’t expected to analyze how good a source is because you aren’t expected to encounter sources.
I wasn’t expecting the subject of fanfictions to suddenly pop up on this forum, but here’s my two cents.
My favorite HP fanfiction right now is Hogwarts Houses Divided. It’s about the next generation of Hogwarts students after the war in the main series and focuses on the conflict between the houses. I enjoyed it so much that I downloaded it. Also, I’m following a fanfic on SpaceBattles.[1]
Do read My Immortal, or at least watch a dramatic reading of it. It’s so awful that its awfulness causes an integer overflow and it becomes amazing instead.
I usually stay away from fics with OP main characters, but this one seems good enough. ↩︎
For some reason I love the SCP story format and wish there were more crossovers with it. ↩︎

Why does it seem like every HP fan also read HP fanfictions?
