    Genre: Alternative History

    Status: WIP

    Summary: This story started life as a small "what if timeline" on an alternative history site i frequent. The premises is that during the escape from privet drive in the fifth book harry is caught on film by a company filming a super bowl commercial leading to the wizarding world becoming exposed. The story is huge with over 250 updates and features less on the golden trio and more on how the world would change with the knowledge magic existed.

    DISCLAIMER: Not mine.

    Updates only. (250 updates)

    The forum requires not only Registration to read the 'thread', but also some other as-of-yet undefined requirement to reach the appropriate topic/sub-forum. Will update when more is known.

    For now? Fail.

    The character of the so called 'review' leaves me very, very leery. But I've run into actual good stories being recommended by folks who apparently are incapable of proper English.

    OP, you probably made a terrible mistake posting this. Have you not read Potter Law?

    Here, just for future reference; Rule Number 1, Muthafucka!

    I couldn't get into this at all. The beginning is suspect and implausible as far as I'm concerned. Not only that, it suffers from introducing a lot of new characters in a short period of time. Fanfiction only compounds that issue, as we read these stories for the characters we're aware of, even if the names are the only relation they have to canon counterparts.

    The hopping from England to Arizona to Massachusetts to Russia is also annoying. While I applaud a novel idea, one that could be interesting if approached in the right way, this isn't a good execution of it.

    2/5.

    Seriously? Just no. Did not enjoy it, could not get into it. Moderately interesting idea executed in a terribad way. The premise of the wizarding world being found out? You could do something with that.

    This however is a shit-ton of fail spewed from the asshole of what the hell were you thinking.

    2/5
