I got a good laugh out of it. Minion on IRC encouraged me to post it here, so I did. I'd give it a solid 4/5. Would be 5/5 if there were more of it.

 

Not horrible but below average at best, censoring the swearing ruined it if the poor writing style didn't do that already.

2/5

 

Hah, I remember reading this. Good for a laugh or six.
Nothing too complicated. Just some laughs at the expense of Dumbledore and Snape.
I'll throw a 4/5 at it.

 

I'd say it is ok as a one shot. It's not uber great, but worth a good laugh.

I doubt it's wise to continue the fic. This kind of plot idea tends to get boring if it is used to rewrite canon.

See the huge number of abandoned parodies.

4/5

 

All the (Censored) censoring made me (Censored) sad.

3/5, pretty funny.

 

A good laugh, but lacking any ambition to take it a bit further or higher on the quality scale.

 

Wasn't all that great, I'd give it a 3. Would be better without the (censor) shit.

 

This was weak: weak writing, and weak (censored) humor. 1/5

 

It is OK I will give it a 2/5. The real problem with this fic is that the author never seems to finish anything. He started a HP/Discworld crossover that I had quite high hopes about but here we are seven months later and nothing more has been done with it. Its bloody infuriating.

 

This fic is very surreal, but mildly entertaining nonetheless. The writing wasn't bad, and the premise was fun.

3.5/5

 

Having the cursing censored didn't do it for me. The fact that Dumbledore and the Order have to keep capturing Harry and returning him to Privet Drive also feels strange to me. No one is questioning why Harry is running away so often? That has the manipulative!Dumbledore feel to it without following through.

Although Harry becoming an internet sensation is new and funny in its own way. The end of this chapter seems to imply Harry in space, which is new. Shezza did a Harry Potter/Farscape crossover that I liked a lot, but never finished.

4/5 right now because the idea is somewhat fresh, but not executed properly.

 

"harry learned to pick locks, pockets and horse"

That line made it for me, 4/5 toss it in the humor section.

 

Read this one back when it first came out. Pretty amusing, although it has a couple of amusing parts. Weak effort, but better than most stupid similar stories out there. Didn't like the "magic books Vernon bought" bit and a couple of other annoying bits here and there. Still, it's decent enough.

3/5
-J

 

Not great but amusing enough. It's something to read when your just looking for a quickie. 3/5.

 

QFT

Good enough to read if one has a few minutes to spare.

I don't get the whole "Order forcing Harry back to Dursleys" thing. Why would they do that? Is Dumbledore actually senile in this story and doesn't realize that sth is wrong within the household or perhaps he is that way fuhr die lulz.

 

I enjoyed it. This is simple comedy, with very little real story behind it, and on occasion that's exactly what I'm looking for. 4/5 for the humour, -1 because I doubt it's going to be continued, and if it did, it'd probably suck ass.

 

Not bad, but the abruptness of the ending soured it a bit.
