    Bookmarker's Notes

    Wherein Harry is a prodigy with Runes but otherwise pretty much the same person, and many of the plot points from the books happen more or less the same, within an increasingly divergent context.

    Favorite inconsequential detail: Nott Senior, and his relationship with his wife. Idk if the Incredibles/Frozone/where is my super suit woman parallel was intentional but either way I’m delighted. Oh, and the bits about Merope Gaunt! I’ve literally never thought of it like that before but absolutely yes I am on board 100%

    Summary

    Voldemort is not the true danger. Not really.

    The real threat is what’s already happened: the Ancient Empires of Magic have fallen, their wisdom forgotten, their wonder reduced to a line in a textbook and bureaucracy. The world has grown smaller. Colder. And Magic—real Magic—is dying.

    But not all legacies fade.

    Raised in the past by the Founders of Hogwarts, trained by The Emrys himself, Harry returns to the present not just to end a war, but to reclaim a throne long thought lost. He is the Heir to Avalon, The Once and Future King of an empire that the world no longer really remembers.

    And the Balance is done waiting.

    (A canon-divergent, OP!Harry Merlin xover with mythic rebirth, ancient magic, and one tart-tongued teenager trying to resurrect wonder in a world that no longer believes.)

    Summary

    Harriet Potter knew many things. She knew she didn’t like going to Mrs. Figg’s house on the weekends because her cats were smelly. She knew that the best way to avoid Dudley and Piers without getting in any more trouble with Aunt Petunia was to run directly home from school after class through the back exit and then the garden. She also knew that on occasion, there was a voice in the back of her head that gave lectures on something called magic. This voice called her a word Harrie had never heard Aunt Petunia use before: it called her horcrux.

    In which everything is mostly the same, except Harriet Potter’s heart wasn’t beating when she came out of the womb. It didn’t beat until there was a little intervention by a mysterious force called Death that claims Harrie as its master.

    There are many side effects of this, of course. For one, there’s a boy-who-lived, not a girl who lived. An entirely different side effect is, of course, that the line between Harrie and horcrux has some cracks in it. Sometimes, knowledge slips through.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Starts strong but I don’t like where it went in the later works. Good writing, just not catering to my exact tastes. Jules Potter actually has an interesting character arc over the course of the series but it’s very two steps forward twenty steps back, by which I mean wildly frustrating. Also pretty sure this is the series where Obliviate isn’t just “forget this happened” but “let me rewrite your perception of reality to the point where it is effectively mind control.”

    Summary

    It is Harry Potter's fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. With international politics, someone out to kill Jules Potter, the Boy Who Lived, and Slytherin House's internal drama, this year seems pretty standard.

    Admittedly, the last time there was a dragon anywhere near Hogwarts, it fit in Hagrid's hut and didn't pose much of a danger to anyone. Who thought the Triwizard Tournament was appropriate for teenagers?

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Aaaand this is where I start to disengage with the series. Not to say the quality goes downhill or anything like that it’s still very well done. But for me this is the tipping point into “what if the Death Eaters maybe sorta kind of had a point about this one thing in particular” and it’s been at least a decade since I’ve had any interest in engaging with that hypothetical. The tagline “blood matters, ability matters more” graduates from a line thats been repeated for narrative effect to full on Part Of the Plot. As a political and philosophical motto it’s better than the literal nothing of canon but it’s still like, literally factually wrong. It was worth reading the first time, but the only thing I get out of a reread is the chance to better develop/articulate what I don’t like about it, and no one needs that lol
