Can I offer up a proposed law or addendum to a Potterlaw?

There is no Potter family tradition of curse of 'All Potter men marry redheads'. Especially not with the explanation that 'only a redhead can keep us/them in line.'

We know that Lily (Evans) potter was a redhead. We don't know what color hair James Potter's mum had when she was young. Maybe black or brown. Maybe blond. Maybe she was a redhead. Considering the majority of the witches & wizards that we've seen, she was probably not a redhead unless she was related to the Weasley's or the Prewitt's (Molly Weasley's birth-family before she married Mr Weasley). Though I do believe Susan Bones has been described as a redhead...

Beside the point. I have come to despise the family history of Potters marrying redheads. a) genetics tells us that over generations, that would probably result in red-headed Potters. b ) Only an idiot believes that a person's temper is determined or limited by their hair-color (likewise with their intelligence. Draco isn't dumb because he's blond, he's just dumb and blond.) c) it's a poorly conceived reason for Harry to be destined to be with Ginny and therefore sucks.

 

Yeah, you can add an addendum and propose a law. Do whatever you want, maybe Bio will add it. Maybe he will update this thang.

 

I found this waaaaaay back in the posts. Ok let me tell you this everyone out there that uses Flying a broom as an excuse to rip on Harry being physically unfit.

You don't spend your whole life doing everything around the house and not get some muscle.

Two: No where in canon does it say he is so wimpy he pulls something when tying his shoe lases.

You swim for over 2hours straight and tell me how good you feel. Or run from an inraged killer, or fight your way through a long ass maze filled with peril and then come back and tell me how wimpy Harry his.

Yes, he's a pussy. No, he's not a wimp. Just lazy. Who wouldn't, his relatives aren't there and he can finally relax and eat a decent meal.

Three: The Dursleys did not starve him. He was underfed yes. But I'm sure the teachers would have noticed if he were really showing signs of true starvation.

 

If Harry is ever found "guilty" of any sort of crime the immediate response from his friends will never be to A. Burn his picture album or B. Kill Hedwig.

 

In the event that Harry Potter gets sent to Azkaban for a crime he did not commit, due in no small part to his friends all stating to the jury how Harry was evil, attention-loving and 'going dark', when Harry is released and if, for some reason, he doesn't simply kill all the traitors in a series of violent, gore-filled brutal murders, he will simply take out restraining orders on them rather than allowing them to follow him around demanding his forgiveness.

- That would be The Freedom of Apathy (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2329599/1/) and The Apathy of Freedom (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2432499/1/) by Nonjon. They're worth checking out, though it should be mentioned that they're serious stories, rather than the humour we're used to from him.

- Addendum to the 'and the feeling is mutual' part:
Except for the House Elves, but only because they secretly get off on being bossed around by wizards, so won't side with Harry against their beloved masters anyway. It's possible that he could persuade them with offers of frequent whippings and institutionalised beatings, but let's not go there.

 

Clause: However, Harry can sign treaties with various species and use thier abilities to brutally murder as many DE's as possible.

 

I approve of any amendment to my previously posted law.

 

While i agree with many of the laws including the No homosexual stuff, snape is always an evil dude, harry is the main characters, and some other I have to disagree with a couple.

Some of the laws like the whole not being an heir/lily not secretly being some pureblood or something leaves no room for originality. If your laws became actual laws that everyone went by we would just have the same stories over and over again. My suggestion is that you make laws that leave some room for entertainment like the Freedom of Apathy by nonjon. That was enjoyable.

Also from a somewhat famous comedian Dane Cook said that "guys go to movies to get away from reality." For me it's the same for fanfiction. I came to fanfiction looking for stuff that was completely out of reality but fun to read. Limited such creativity wouldn't be that great...

 

I think the heir law forbids _multiple_ inheritance from all/most of the known powerful wizards. Single inheritance should be ok, but to have Harry be the heir of Merlin and all the founders and the king of high elves or whatever is extreme.

 

We already have the same stories over and over again; we call it "cliche".

If you can't make Harry the heir of Merlin, the Founders, and Chuck Norris you have to come up with a new plot device to give him the obscene wealth and magic power that an heirship would give him. It forces originality, in a way, by getting rid of what's been overdone already.

 

Hmmm....Harry Potter is the heir of Chuck Norris, I don't think that is a cliche quite yet, but I'd love to see the fic.

 

If harry potter was the heir of Chuck Norris... oh god the thought send shivers down my spine. Anyhow I know what your saying about cliche. People are just running out of ideas, but however there are some that twist the "inheritance" idea pretty well. (ff.net) Harry Potter and the Heir of Ancients had a pretty original thought. As I re-read it I realized it was pretty cliched, but it was pretty good...up until the guy stopped updating....

Edit: And no.. in The Heir of Ancients harry is not the heir to like 20 ancient guys. But, this is not the place to give a summary i believe the uhh library i think. I'm sorta new.

And btw invisdible I am not an author, just a pretty good critic and thats it.

 

Who the hell is Chuck Norris?

 

Chuck Norris is a movie actor and television actor. I'm not an obsessed fan but it was the best name i could think of. Anything creative isn't my forte

 

Chuck Noris was the Karate Champion of the world(or something like that) for a while. He has a record of 55-4(I think). He than went on to become a actor and did Walker Texas Ranger. He has a serries of jokes about him that Computer Geeks just love.

 

Thats because He's one of us ^.^

In reality he's the epitome of what most American's consider a 'Man's Man' Uphold whats right, Kick the crap outta the bad Guys, and do it with a great deal of style, Class, and a certain Panache that would leave 'James Bond' Drooling.

 

Chuck Norris is an actor with the same character range as Steven Seagal. If you see him in a show or movie, there will be ass-kickage and a moral that no one pays attention to because we're watching Chuck slam a chamberpot into some dude's head.

The Chuck Norris joke list isn't funny, unless you're the sort of person that tells knock-knock jokes at frat parties.

 

In the intrest of Keeping this thread revelent I'm going to Pm you my Question about ol'Chuck

BACK TO POTTER LAW!

 

I stopped reading around page 5, so I don't know if I'm repeating anything here.

## - Sirius' motorcycle was crushed by Hagrid's fat ass, it shall not be revived (no matter how much of a motorcycle fetish Harry has). Having a flying motorcycle will not make Harry into a badass... should he use it, he will be immediately apprehended by the authorities for tampering with muggle devices.

• Exception - The motorcycle may be used as an instrument in the Dursleys' deaths.

## - Harry Potter will never have second thoughts about killing Voldemort unless it is due to his intentions of joining him. Harry Potter will not be worried about murdering the Dark Lord who killed his parents, he's already killed Quirrell, why the fuck would he get upset over Voldemort?

## - Harry Potter will not get a tattoo to commemorate his lost family and friends. Said tattoo will not grant him super powers nor will it make him an impenetrable magical fortress. A tattoo will not have the power to move freely around any person's body, that would be extremely annoying and cause most people to commit suicide.

 

Amendment - The motorcycle can be used if it's presented in a realistic and proper setting/adjustment. However, to keep in tune with BMM, said motorcycle does not automatically turn Harry into a badass and he shouldn't be able to do E.K. tricks the first time he gets on it.
