Status Updates From Harry Potter and the Method...

The things Harry said about Lily.. I couldn't agree more.

did you know that time-reversed ordinary matter looks just like antimatter? Why yes it does! Did you know that one kilogram of antimatter encountering one kilogram of matter will annihilate in an explosion equivalent to 43 million tons of TNT?

"Any vow was an Unbreakable Vow if made by the right sort of person."

The same could be said of Draco's clever use of reciprocation pressure for an unsolicited gift, a technique which Harry had read about in his social psychology books (one experiment had shown that an unconditional gift of $5 was twice as effective as a conditional offer of $50 in getting people to fill out surveys)

finally finished this (or a least what's out so far) last night. love it! I enjoy this a lot more than I do the original HP series, which I couldn't even finish... (crazy, i know). can't wait to read whatever comes next :) this "HP for adults" is waayyyy better than the magicians! (hate that book with a passion)

so much hilarity. and deep thoughts, too

I am finding the philosophical discussions to be much more interesting than all the action that accompanied their not-so-little Azkaban outing

this has made me tear up and sniffly so many times already. love Draco and his patronus, the love between Draco and Lucius, the grayness of both dumbledore and Lucius... can't wait to see how all of this plays out

wow, that whole episode with the dementor was incredible -- by turns heartbreaking and uplifting. despite my comments regarding the inferiority of certain houses, it was incredible to see those values all working together: thirst for the truth, courage to face it, power to act upon it, all bound up in love.

LOL even the teenaged girls at hogwarts are into Harry x Draco!

fascinating talk about immortality. I do wonder about overpopulation and depleting of resources, though. and great point about souls and the afterlife!

ahh so adorable! :D

aww Harry and hermione! how cute!

omg! so that's the quadruple agent in a 3-team war... and I was silly enough to think he came up with all of it on his own

blaise zabini is brilliant! also, that was a pretty epic battle.

well of COURSE that's why everyone decorates with red and green at newtonmas, haha

omg hermione is amazing! lol at sunshine regiment and smiley face and the song of chaos... so much awesomeness

reading it as it comes

LOL dragon army! hilarious.

aww, hermione. I adore you and you totally deserve to be the heroine of your own story :)

fascinating to get Harry Potter's take on severus, james, and lily when he heard it not knowing the people involved. now I wish I'd finished the HP series so I know how he actually reacted in the real version...

lol this makes the jock culture in Harry Potter look completely ridiculous XD

Harry's theory of how magic works is so interesting! purposeful button-pushing, lol

hahahaha I love how Lucius took Draco to see death note and how Draco refers to both light and L as "incredibly clever slytherins" XD

woot, wizard genetics! and lol at Draco and his politics

although I have to say I think world domination -- er, optimization -- is a terrible idea. power corrupts, and a dictatorship, however benevolently intended, is too idealistic a solution for the real world

hermione is awesome! loving Harry's speech about science and reality, and all the mockery of griffyndors and voldemort XD

wow, that entire exchange with quirrell was fascinating. makes me wonder if I'd want to be a dark lord myself. seems like too much work. but now I understand why I got sorted slytherin rather than ravenclaw -- I care much more for practical applications, efficiency, and general competence way more than accumulating knowledge :P

Whoa, that was incredibly thought-provoking.

I am adoring the mind games and rivalries and fascinating concepts

OMG why is this so awesome?! So hilarious and brilliant and thought-provoking
