It's shaping up to be a Harry/Daphne fic and while this fic was first posted under the "fanfiction's worst summaries "thread the fic is actually a decent time waster. The grammar is decent and the update rate is pretty good. 3/5 for keeping me entertained while there is nothing else to read.

Edited by CheddarTrek to put it into proper format.

 

I read a couple of chapters of this a while back.

1/5 from me.

There are quite a few issues with the story but the biggest one is the idea that the Dursleys could actually stop Harry from going to Hogwarts. It's so utterly ridiculous.

I'll give the first few chapters another spin to nail down the other issues.

When I read Stargon1's first story A Cupboard Under the Stairs I thought I had found a readable story dealing with an emotionally dysfunctional Harry. It however quickly became a MOB!Dumbledore who was (naturally) an idiot and the wizarding world was even stupider.

 

Perhaps I recommended this story too early into it's plot. I don't usually like to rate based on other stories from an author because sometimes they manage to pull a gem out of their ass.

 

Starts out mildly interesting but quickly devolves into typical fanon cliches the second Harry gets to Hogwarts, including a trunk-with-stairs-in and a custom wand (somewhat justified by how much trouble it was to pick a wand for him the first time around). I dropped the story after Harry refused to attend potions with Snape because Snape wouldn't let him wear muggle safety gear.

The prose is decent and I didn't spot any major mistakes. This could easily be someone's guilty pleasure if they stumble onto it before reading too many fics, but for anyone with any experience in the fandom it appears to tread a well-worn path.

Edit: Forgot to put my rating in: 2/5 for me due to too many cliches.
