    You should read Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. I don’t want to spoil anything but it is so good. Honestly, book stores should stop selling the official Harry Potter books and just stock HPMOR.

      I actually did forever ago. It was pretty good. Harry is too smart and way too smug for me but I did really like voldie’s plan and how they dealt with him. I wonder if that would work in the actual books. It kinda seems like it from book 2.

        To be fair, I think most people would be insufferably smug if they could blow everyone’s minds with some basic physics and creative thinking.

        Muggle: this is a standard Blu-ray optical disc. It is capable of storing up to 100gb of information, which [according to Google] roughly translates into one or more movies (depending on the video quality), 28,000 songs, 30,000 photos, or 67.8 million pages of text.

        Wizard: all of that in this tiny disc!? What is this? Magic?

        Muggle: nah bitch, that’s physics.

        Wizard: gasp physics! What a strange name for muggle-magic.

      Second the recommendation for HPMOR. It does so much more service to the Wizarding World setting than JK Rowling ever did. It is outright one of my favorite pieces of literature just on its own merits.
