    I liked it, thought it was fairly funny, not a bad way to spend five minutes.

    4/5

    This was rather good, in Blot's unassuming way.

    Not his best work. Long winded, boring, and utterly stupid.

    2/5

    Not bad but not brillaint. I personally think his works are much better when read a single scene at a time, the wya he releases them on his yahoo group. Much easier on the mind that way.

    I've been following this as a member of his Y! Group. It's actually a unique plot. 5/5 simply because he thought of something no one else has tried.

    Original and humorous, yes. I have never heard of anything resembling Bartender! Harry before... but the plot itself is pretty moronic. Flamel is portrayed as a retard, willing to take a to be sixth year student, not to mention the fact that both Nicholas and Albus are claiming credit for other people's work... I won't even touch the slaughter of Albus' character. I just didn't really like it that much, but I have to agree that it was original and amusing in a prepubescent-humor kind of way.

    3/5

    I liked this one. I'm usually good with anything Rorschach writes, and this wasn't an exception. It wasn't a high-water mark by any stretch, but it amused me, and wasn't a chore to read.

    If I could actually give a 3.75/5 I would - it was good but not great - since I can't I'll go for the next best thing.

    This is full of humor, as Rorschach usually does in his stories. Its faster pace just works better if you don't anylze it, and being tired when reading helps.
    And who is to say that people's works are not stolen by others in the Harry Potter Universe, if someone can be blamed for something then someone can take the credit for something. Though I'm doubting that is what happened in cannon, majorly. Still, considering that this is a humor fic and being fanfiction in the first place, a Characters Personality, appearence, etc., can be altered to however the author wishes.
    4/5

    What surprises me is that this is more or less exactly the plot bunny he posted seperately, with very little added on the end.
    Slightly disappointing from that respect, though still a good read.
    4/5
