Prince Chop chapter 5 . 7/12 You know howlers don't read right. They just zoom in and start shouting the shit out of you |
Archleone chapter 1 . 7/6 "Books. And jewels. Jewels. And books. Books AND jewels. Jewels and books." I forgot how shit these old stories were. This story is 100% the result of some poorly educated person who has read far, far too much of the "independent Harry" trash and decided they simply MUST write one of their own so that they feel like one of the "cool kids". And what you get is barely coherent shit like this story. "My account manager, LORD Griphook." Really, calling everyone a Lord or Lady just robs any meaning from those titles. Also "I trust you" after meeting him twice. Davis is also a half-blood, so the idea that Harry would have a marriage contract with her via the Black line is fairly humorous. Not to mention that I doubt that Davis line would have enough weight on its own to even swing a marriage contract with the Black family, let alone one Harry couldn't just casually walk away from due to the disparity of power and wealth. I mean, there's no point in reviewing this eight year old pile of refuse, but it's almost nostalgic just how bad this all is. I'm assuming there's a massive shopping trip coming up soon too. And a lot of limp-wristed, "m'lady"-ing from Harry once he meets either Daphne or Tracey. Actually, yeah, looking at the chapter list there's a chapter just named after the shopping district so that must be the "traditional" excessive and ridiculous shopping trip where Harry finds all manner of impossibly rare and powerful things that somehow no one else before him has come across or purchased for themselves. The chapter titles being in all caps also lends a sort of humor to them. I can just imagine some sperging child screeching them as if they held great import to the world. "HOGWART'S NEW OWNER!" Hilarious. I mean, there's a lot more to bitch about, such as Harry somehow owning "50% of Diagon Alley" and a similar percentage of the currently most popular newspaper, but this is again a super old story so at this point I'm just writing this review to amuse myself. How CAN Harry own 50% of "Diagon Alley"? Do you mean the land? Or 50% of all the business? Or is it 50% of each individual business each? If it were just the land (which is the only thing that would kind of make any sense), then he'd only really be getting rent for the land itself, not any kind of percentage of what the businesses themselves are making. Nor would he have any ownership of the businesses or their brands. Him owning 50% of the businesses specifically would essentially require him to be the richest person in all of Britain, because that's quite a lot of businesses he somehow has complete authority over for no apparent reason. If he owns 50%, then then remaining 50% is somehow split up among the rest of ALL the people of magical Britain in the sense that it would be easier to find people technically working for Harry than it would be to find people who aren't. Math is hard, but it would be like "50% chance that they work for Harry Potter, or a much smaller chance that they work for insert any person not related to the businesses owned by Harry Potter" Because a thing can't really be owned by two people at the same time. If he owned a percentage of the businesses, well, that's still pretty ridiculous. The statement would then imply that he's invested 50% in every business in Diagon Alley. That's including Malkin's robe shop, Ollivander's wand shop, anything owned by Death Eater families, etc. Truly nonsensical. So owning the land is the only thing that (barely) makes sense. And that's way less impressive than it sounds. He'd just be a landlord. But it is still ridiculous to think that he would own 50% of the primary shopping district of Wizarding Britain just between three family inheritances. Potter, Peverell (which should just be Potter anyway, since they became the same family centuries ago via marriage, allegedly), and Black. The Founder shit is super stupid but also I doubt they'd contribute to his ownership to anything in Diagon Alley. They were alive a thousand years ago. Which leads me to the most ridiculous thing here. Ownership of Hogwarts. How can anyone truly own Hogwarts when it is treated as an independent body barely tied to the Ministry at all, specifically ruled over by a board of governors who theoretically control the school through the headmaster? It is not treated like private property. It's treated more like a business. Harry can't really roll into Hogwarts claiming that, due to various suspicious factors, he is now "the one true heir" of the family of the Founders, which should apparently somehow mean he also owns the learning institution they founded? I feel like the key word here is "founded". They started it. I don't think they especially claimed ownership of it going forward though. Like, if George Washington came from the dead with all his old friends who signed the Declaration of Independence, do you think they'd have a claim of "owning" the USA? I don't think that would work, and I don't think the "Founders of Hogwarts" would waste time trying to claim the school as their property either. It would be separate from their personal, individual holdings. Which would likely have all been invested into the school anyway. I see being the Heir of a Founder resulting only in bragging rights really. That's all Voldemort did with it, and he absolutely would have leveraged any benefit he could if there were any. You never saw Voldemort strolling into Hogwarts claiming he owned 1/4 of it. If Harry is lucky, maybe there could be some hidden cache of an inheritance for him to find from the individual founders, but that seems unlikely. Because they lived 1000 years ago, give or take a century or two. They've had many heirs over the years. Why would any of them have ignored their inheritance just so that some dweeb ass kid centuries later could inherit it and do... very little with it? Besides grandstanding and hopping up on soapboxes about how he's the special edgy boy that needs to be treated better since he's the Chosen One. Really, the only reason for the cliche "Harry is ultra super mega rich and owns everything" thing is to give writers a sense of wish fulfillment. It's just collecting/claiming stuff for the sake of big numbers and bragging rights. It's pretty rare for Harry being richer than god and owning the world to ever actually come into play in any meaningful way beyond childish, petulant power tripping because the writers feel the need to rebel and Harry/fan fiction is their only outlet. |
Elpatron11 chapter 1 . 7/1 at least it isn't with Hermione, she probably is his sister and this message is for JK Rowling, gunny looks like lily, red hair,and ginger. Nobody is into insect |
Guest chapter 1 . 6/20 If Harry Potter just saved the sorcerer's stone, then he would only be 11 or 12. He turns 13 after the chamber of secrets, right before the start of book 3. You start Hogwarts at age 11. |
Theta4four chapter 1 . 6/17 summer after 1st year Harry turns 12. he turns 11 right before 1st year and 12 just before 2nd. 1st 11, 2nd 12, 3rd 13, 4th 14, 5th 15, 6th 16, 7th 17. 1-7 is 11-17 |
Itsmgirlbitches chapter 1 . 5/28 isn't he supposed to be 12? |
Daftnotpunk chapter 2 . 5/17 Dumbledore is not who he seems, do not trust him. Witnessed by Dumbledore... yeaaahhhh... |
FandomLover chapter 2 . 5/16 I honestly don't mean to be rude but when Harry is reading his parents will and it says that they leave him the title of Head Of Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter, Potter is spelt wrong, you have it spelt Pottel, I do not mean to be rude I am just pointing this out. I am sorry if this makes you feel as though I am trying to be rude. I hope you have and had, a great day. |

Guest chapter 30 . 3/23 Wow, you always think that Protego or Protego Maxima is a stunning style spell that can also protect against Unforgivables. Let me tell you, NOTHING can block Avada Kedavra apart from something extremely thick like a block of marble |
