    Genre: Humor/None

    --------------------

    I marked this author a while back cause he made me laugh. This fic seems to be along the lines of 'Freak Parade', but I thought some of the Pranks pulled were pretty origional, but the basic premise is getting a little overused. Overall 3.5/5

    You know, the Phrase 'prank Lord Potter' Isn't exactly hard to come up with indipendently. I think I have somthing very similar written in my Misc. notes from a few years back when I had first started reading HP fiction. :)

    Just thought it was worth a laugh or two, if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. :cool: I'll survive it an move on.

    It has nothing to do with the phrase, and everything to do with the fact that this fic has almost the exact same ideas and situations. For example, Kingsley Shackbolt being the one to find the prank on Fudge, Harry being dark, yet using pranks and not killing people, etc.

    Indeed, this fic is a touch stale. Entertaining enough situations, but when the author says inspired, I think he/she means ripped off, blatantly.

    All in all... not even good. Perhaps average-good.

    2.5-3/5

    Fix the posting format, rather than copy/pasting the FF.Net story alert.

    Got to agree with illusive on this one, it is almost exactly the same as C Rose's. It would be decent if it wasnt a copy but 1/5

    I found the pranks sophomoric in nature enough to be funny, but I wanted more.

    3/5 because I'm in a happy mood.
