There are some genuinely great fics on this website that point out huge flaws in characters other than Harry Potter. This includes (but is not limited to) Dumbledore, the Weasleys, the Dursleys, Snape, and even the magical world of Britain in general. Also, the fics in this community will not have Harry paired up with Ginny Weasley (with the exception of harem fics). Contains strong!smart!powerful!independent or even dark! Harry. No slash.

Harry's Shorts by Gandalf's Beard reviews

Random Short-stories, Oneshots, and Drabbles set (mostly) in Potterverse. Will probably lean towards humour/satire, but there could be some romance, angst, and adventure as well. Some crossovers with other fandoms should be expected. Not all the stories will focus on Harry, but when they do, expect Harmony pairing.

Ignition by The Modern Sorcerer reviews

Harry Potter's temper has always been rather dangerous, but it's not until things start bursting into flames that people realise exactly how fiery it is.

Well... fire solves everything.

Nothing to Lose by Writing Warriors reviews

This story, as a few are in the world of Harry Potter fanfiction, stems from one of those many ideas of Rorschachs Blot, entitled "Nothing to Lose."
