Was linked to this by some Yahoo Group I can't be arsed to remember. It's an interesting take on the 'Harry flips out and destroys everything' cliche, although it makes destroying the Wizarding World seem a bit... easy. 4/5.

Fixed the link. Thx to Henry Persico for the info.

 

Hm. It's actually rather amusing for a one shot. Works on a non-cannon premise but still exploits a fairly obvious loop-hole. 4/5

 

I almost hit X when I saw the disclaimer at the beginning, but I'm glad I didn't. That shit was epic.

It can't be a 5/5 'cause it wasn't exactly written well, but the thought is delicious.

4.5/5

 

Sorry, Dumbledore. It seems like Harry's version of the Greater Good and your own do not mesh. Sucks for you. 4.7/5.

I would love to see another one-shot sequel to this. Unabomber!Harry FTW!

 

Sheer and absolute *fucking* win. That is all.

 

Remember, Remember, the fifth of November.
Envelopes, Saviours and Plot.
I see no reason why cascading ward failure,
Should ever be forgot.

 

HAHAHAHA!!!

Too bad, I was kinda expecting a V for Vendetta thing, but this was good too. 4/5.

That ending was classic too.

 

Good ideas, decent execution. Not the greatest piece ever written, but marginally entertaining nonetheless.

4/5

 

Fun, but a bit shallow. An indulgence rather than a realistic fic. 4/5.

 

Nifty idea, and great psychological torture. Harry's manic-cheerful attitude was very well done. The execution was too easy, and Harry suddenly got smart and efficient. It would have been better if Harry had Made Sure that Hermione would never talk (rather than trusting that her fear would permanently paralyze her,) but an enjoyable short revenge fic.
3/5

 

I actually didn't like it as much as others here did. It was amusing, yes, but very short and not particularly well written. 2/5

 

Holy fuck nuts.

Well... if your going to go crazy, that's certainly a fun way to do it. The author didn't even pretend that harry was being perfectly righteous, and the self-righteousness was down toned.

4/5

 

It was... not good... but better than Decent. I'd rate it at a 4/5 for my own personal enjoyment of the story, but practically, its more of a 3-ish.

Grammatically and spelling wise, there isn't anything that really detracts from the reading a huge amount, but it isn't the most solid bit of work. Plot wise, its ...shaky, but enjoyable for a random bit of homeland terrorism. Enjoyable for a short read when you need to waste a few minutes waiting on something, but not something you'd come back and read over and over again.

 

QTF
With all the talk of V!Harry that I've seen in a while (or imagining anyway) I was hoping this was the way it was gonna go. Unfortunately no, but this was epic in itself.

Happy Days

4/5

 

4.5/5 for the lulz and enjoyment factor. The Hermione factor just made it even better.

 

I may be missing some detail in the whole 'chaos magic letter bomb' deal with Hermione, but is there anything stopping her from writing down what Harry said and sending it to Dumbledore?

Regardless, I enjoyed it. Plot was a little... contrived, I suppose - I would have liked a longer backstory to explain Harry's change - but, hell, you can't really go wrong blowing up a civilization. 3.5, but I'll call it a 4 since I enjoyed it despite its plot issues.

 

Hmm... I'm torn here.

On the one hand, it's written pretty badly. On the other, I love the idea of Harry blowing everything up, even though he uses a weirdly defined idea to explain it. I guess I enjoyed it, although it ended a bit on a solid "eh" note. At least Harry seemed happy. I liked his justification for not hurting Hermione, a rare bit of logic in stories such as these.

3/5

 

I thought that this was a fun little one shot. It wasn't exactly the most well written piece, but the concept was very fun. I wonder if the author was/is a D&D player because that explosion is pretty much exactly what happens when you do something stupid like throw a Bag of Holding into a Portable Hole. 3/5

 

If you're a fan of HarryHatesTheWorld fics, then yes, this is probably quite good. I, on the other hand, didn't like it that much.

All my complaints have already been brought up by posters above, so I won't repeat them. If you don't care about plausibility, you'd enjoy this. I do, on the other hand, and that's why...

2/5.

 

While the story itself is far from perfect, it makes for a nice short read.

4/5
