    Didn't really find this very funny. It was an okay concept, but the execution was a little too serious. A couple of good lines, but otherwise meh.

    Not to mention... Harry/Ginny.

    I'll respectfully disagree. I remember reading this way back, and then again last fall. I always thought it was a funny one-shot and clever idea.

    Of course, I suppose it says something that I don't really care to re-read it again. Maybe not enough parody for a fic that only works as a parody. But still, when I did read it, I loved it. Cracked me up. From what you're all saying I think I'll like it better if I don't re-read it.

    I was actually cracking up the entire time. I live in a dorm and everyone on my floor could hear me.

    Wow, that was funny. My entire floor could hear me laughing.

    I liked it. The beginning section was a little to sappy for my tastes these days but once Harry started sending ol' Tom the letters my interest perked. I've had that same thought in passing before that Harry could tell big V all his powers and get instant power ups, in agreement with others it was amusing.

    Heh. That was rather a nice idea really. Nothing particularly special, but amusing nonetheless.

    Heh, funny.

    And on a completely unrelated note.

    I liked it. It wasn't roll-on-the-floor-laughing funny, but amusing just the same. Nice idea as well.

    Humorous. I chuckled at the bit in the end. The concept was good.

    That being said I spotted quite a few spelling mistakes, nothing a good spell checker or a beta cant flatten out though.

    A funny concept, and good execution. Maybe a couple of more original "powers" that were humorous would be good.

    a very amusing one-shot. The first part was kinda tame, but as soon as the letters started i couldn't stop chuckling. The end is classic too.

    Question can being obnoxious qualify as the power the dark lord knows not?

    It was alright. Quite funny and the ending was good. I'd say 3.5/5 for this.
