Oh God Not Again!
So maybe everything didn't work out perfectly for Harry. Still, most of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was about to become a father. If only he'd have stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't have had to go back and do everything AGAIN.

Do yourself a favor and read “Oh God, Not Again!” by Sarah1281.
It is a Harry Potter fanfic from like 2009, 160k words, 50 chapters. Basically, adult!Harry accidentally goes back in time and wakes up on his 11th birthday again, but with all his memories of the future intact. (The way he travels back makes no sense whatsoever but it doesn’t really matter.)
Harry decides upon 3 goals: 1) fuck up as much shit as possible, 2) make a shitload of money and 3) save some lives or whatever. It is HILARIOUS!
His go-to explanation for how he knows what’s going to happen? He has a psychic scar. (Hermione is SO PISSED about this, especially since he's beating her in all of the exams, except for third year's History of Magic... but Sirius is the professor so what did you expect? He's never going to let Harry live that down.) (Neville’s like “either he’s psychic, or he’s the greatest conman alive”)
Everyone just sort of assumes Harry’s insane and he doesn’t do much to dispute this. Harry also decides to make it his mission in life to LOSE the house cup every year. “Snape is my sole ally” because of course you can count on him to take house points from Gryffindor. But then there's Sirius awarding everyone 50 fucking house points for saying the name "Voldemort" which leads to A) Harry being forced to actually use the term You-Know-Who for once (he is so pissed about this but "desperate times call for desperate measures") and B) the tally at the end of the year being ridiculously high with Gryffindor leading with 13.000+ points despite Harry's best efforts.
He also goes out of his way to befriend Neville, Ginny, and Luna earlier this time, so they’re part of the gang throughout and it’s great. Even Draco is a friend! (kind of) (when Harry’s not spreading a rumor that Draco’s the lovechild of Narcissa and Snape, anyway)
Harry’s motivation for everything he does in this story is basically, “oh, this will be hilarious” or, “it’s probably a tax deductible” because the way Lockhart is written in this story is also amazing and Harry ends up teaming up with him to merchandise The Boy Who Lived so he can have cash to burn. (so he gets a LOT of shit done via bribes)
It gets to the point where Harry is able to convince everyone that he’s not the Heir of Slytherin…. because if he was, he’d have found a way to make money off of it and everyone’s like yeah ok that checks out. In this timeline, Neville’s Boggart isn’t Snape…. it’s Harry as the Minister of Magic.
Harry also decides to make sure Cedric lives by quizzing him constantly on what to do if he ends up in a graveyard which results in Cedric growing a phobia towards graveyards and honestly being stressed out just thinking about them. But Fred's competing in the Triwizard Tournament (excuse me, the fucking Pentawizard Playoffs, I cry) with him, so he's fine.
The sheer magnitude to which Harry does not give a fuck in this timeline is truly awe-inspiring. He mouths off to everyone, and I mean everyone: Lockhart, Snape, the Dursleys, Malfoy, friggin’ Voldemort. Everyone is like “what… what the fuck, Harry”, though by the end of first year it’s more like *deep sigh* … fine.
Snape is so angry. It’s fucking hysterical and just about everyone ends up better off.
Here’s the link. Thank me later.

the greatest piece of literature this century
August 21, 2018
This book gave me fucking life when I read it. It's basically about Harry after the Wizarding war and he falls into the veil (that Sirius fell through) and now has to go through being in Hogwarts and fighting Voldemort all over again. But this time he decides to fuck as much shit up as humanly possible by being on-and-off friends with Draco (when he's not spreading rumours that Draco Malfoy is the lovechild of Snape and Narcissa Malfoy), deliberately trying to LOSE the house cup each time (calling the cup the 'teacher suck-up cup'), Goes out of his way to be friends with Neville, Ginny and Luna and even bribes a couple people with money (eg asking Fred and George to throw snow balls at Quirrell's turban constantly). Point is, this book is the best thing I've ever seen and I hope everyone reads it because like I have said, IT GIVES ME LIFE.

„All the young dudes” is trauma and this is therapy.
October 2, 2017
Lazy writing, bad dialogue, awfully lengthy expositions, unrealistic characters - this one has got it all. This version of Harry comes across as rather a psychopath, and realistically he wouldn't have made the friends he does here; followers, maybe, in Tom Riddle's vein. And really, he goes back in time and this is the best he can do? That's either more evidence towards psychopathy (he just doesn't care to), or towards monumentally stupidity.
Honestly, this is like someone tried to stitch together 'HP Nightmares of Futures Past' and 'A Black Comedy', and made a badly botched banal blend. Choose either of those stories instead, and leave this overrated piece of tedium behind.
(It gets 3 stars because a. I like Luna and she gets some more of a role here than in canon, and b. the writing, while lazy, is at least grammatical and mostly spell-checked, and indicates a potentially good writer who just needed more practice and forethought. )

Definitely not canon!character accurate (more like the characterization in the Harry Potter Puppet Pals), but this book is HILARIOUS and made me laugh out loud multiple times. I love how Harry’s goal was to just lose the House Cup every year, get rich, and oh, I guess save some people along the way.

My one complaint … why wasn’t there more of this 😁
February 14, 2021
The most hilarious thing omg
Literally I was cracking up, I read this in like 2 days and told everyone about it bc I'm obsessed
I was high key stressed the whole time bc hes so obnoxious and I feared for him and Ginny
But I appreciate that she (the author) didn't go for the pairing off thing
And that by the end she's kind of amused by him (reminds me of James and Lily)
it's so weird!!! Haha but also very good
I loved that he befriended draco
Him being glad bc he bought ALL THE TEAMS THE BROOMS
And that harry makes hilarious comments all the time
That Neville was a friend from the beginning
That his greatest fear is harry as minister of magic 😂😂😂
So funny, all of Harry's making-money schemes
And him and Sirius taking out all the horcruxes easy peasy ?????
Deaddddd at Cedric being conditioned 😂 it just
It was amazing and I LOVED it
So much

Second Re-read:
Nowadays when I find myself missing the nostalgia of reading Harry Potter in my childhood, but am not eager to support a problematic author, I read parodies and fanfiction. And dare I say, this is much more entertaining!
The fun starts right from the first chapter, which begins with the moment Hagrid arrives to tell Harry, "y'er a wizard", and take him to Hogwarts. But of course Harry knows all about Hogwarts and the Wizarding World already.
Of course with foreknowledge, Harry is a le to foil all of Voldemort tricks, and actually befriend both Draco and Snape, considering he no longer suspects them. Of course his friends are curious how he just happens to know things, which force him to come up with the most absurd explanations:
Standing by him, of course, are his loyal friends. This time around Harry befriends Neville, Luna, and Draco right at get-go. He helps Draco face his pure-blood prejudices, and helps Neville become more confident.
Original Review:
This was so ridiculous! I loved it to bits!
This is a book that Harry Potter, son of James Potter, godson of Sirius Black, and brother-in-law of Fred and George Weasley would appreciate, and probably own several copies of.
The premise is straightforward: due to a "drapery accident", Harry Potter travels back in time to his 11th birthday, but with his memories of the future intact. Saving the Wizarding World once was taxing enough, doing it twice is just plain annoying. Still Harry decides to make the best of the situation (and his pre-knowledge of future events) to save the lives of his friends, and foil Voldemort's plans as early as possible and with minimum effort. When anyone asks how he knows what is going to happen, his excuse is that his scar is psychic, which no one believes, but since there are no other survivors of the Killing Curse they have no option but grudgingly accept.
Harry's main goal: Lose the House cup but can that be possible with Dumbledore awarding him additional points for every misguided heroic adventure.
The best thing about this fanfiction is how it is simultaneously an engaging adventure set in the wizarding world and a biting critique of JK Rowling's original books, especially her rather unfortunate penchant for putting children through situations of abuse and trauma.

"But I do know," Harry countered. "About Hogwarts, about my parents, about Voldemort…"
Hagrid shuddered. "Don' say tha' name!"
Harry shrugged. "Old habits die hard. Although if I ever go camping again, I'll make sure to take your advice. Well, will we be heading to Diagon Alley tomorrow?"
Of course with foreknowledge, Harry is a le to foil all of Voldemort tricks, and actually befriend both Draco and Snape, considering he no longer suspects them. Of course his friends are curious how he just happens to know things, which force him to come up with the most absurd explanations:
"Quirrell does though and I've learned that people in turbans are not to be trusted."Harry is on a mission - a mission to defeat evil, save those who he could not save last time, and also wreck as much chaos as he can, because why not. Sure, he would save the world, but no one said he could not have some fun while doing it.
"How many people have you met who've worn turbans, Harry?" Hermione asked him.
"Well, only the one," Harry admitted. "But he just tried to kill me!"
"So maybe your problem isn't with the turbans it's the fact he tried to kill you," Hermione said pointedly.
"You...may have a point," Harry admitted. "It's not like I think the turban itself is evil, just it's hiding an evil entity underneath it. Which I'm nearly sure doesn't apply to anyone else wearing a turban."
"Nearly sure?" Ron asked.
"You can never be too sure," Harry said mysteriously.
Lockhart looked up and saw Ron. Unfortunately, Harry was standing right next to him. He leapt to his feet and shouted, "It can't be Harry Potter?"Harry also decides that instead of letting his fame overwhelm him, he will monetize it to hilarious effects.
"Where?" Harry made a point of looking around, as if searching for himself.
"Aren't you Harry?" Gilderoy asked, confused.
"Nope," Harry said brightly.
"But…I…your scar…" Lockhart protested.
"Unfortunate cooking accident," Harry said shortly, repeating his story from the previous year.
"Then who are you?" Lockhart demanded.
"Draco Malfoy."
"Quality photos of the Boy-Who-Lived apparently go for 50 galleons right now. Colin Creevey takes the pictures so he gets most of it, but I still get twenty percent. I get a percentage of the sales for the Quibbler and let me tell you, subscription has really taken off so it's a good thing I decided to get involved when I did. Also, I've authorized Harry Potter action figures and plushies, trademarked my name, and am currently working on developing my own clothing line. It's nothing fancy, just robes with a lightning bolt on it, but it's receiving positive feedback so far. Not to MENTION how much I've been getting through autographed picture sales and fan club dues…"For his second year Harry sells mirrors to all Hogwarts students to save them from the basilisk, as well as invest in a large quantity of Mandrake Potion to revive anyone who gets petrified, to the point that Slytherin's monster is seen as little more than an annoyance to most of the school.
Standing by him, of course, are his loyal friends. This time around Harry befriends Neville, Luna, and Draco right at get-go. He helps Draco face his pure-blood prejudices, and helps Neville become more confident.
"Longbottom, at the end of this lesson we will feed a few drops of this potion to your toad and see what happens. Perhaps that will encourage you to do it properly."
"Alright," Neville nodded before knocking his cauldron over.

funniest book I‘ve read this year
November 7, 2021
I quite enjoyed this story but it wasn't great. I really liked the concept of Harry going back in time with his memories intact, but I am a bit disappointed that the characters' personalities are not like their canon versions. Seeing as this story kind of follows the events of the books, I would have expected the characters to be more like they were in the original story. Canon-Harry would never have said or done most of the things this Harry said or did. Also, there were quite a few grammar mistakes that I just couldn't get over.
Having said that, I did enjoy the story and it really made me excited to read the HP-books again!

I quite love this parody of the Harry Potter series. She pokes fun at the things that made you roll your eyes in the original story and it relieves frustration in those cases. I enjoy how she makes it all get solved sooner and hardly anyone has to die. So this is both funny and has a happier ending in some ways. :)

3.5 ⭐️
I love fanfiction cause you already know all the characters and there’s no world building 🤪
This was a funny fanfic in which harry travels back to when he was 11 and starting hogwarts, but he remembers everything that happens. So he basically just acts like his scar can tell the future and goes around doing whatever he wants, this kind of makes him a little unlikeable, but also funny

Adult Harry's mind with knowledge of the future in an 11 year old Harry's body. Immensely more fun than re-reading the original story at ripe old age of 38 and getting pissed off at teenagers for behaving like teenagers. 😂
November 14, 2023
What an absolutely perfect read. I don't really read fanfiction but this was amazing and I read it in 1.5 days. Harry is more Harry than in the books (which is weird because the books are supposed to be official... I guess I have accepted that AVPM is just the real story and JKR wrote fanfiction of that)
I can't believe I am saying this but Lockhart is one of my favourite characters. Draco too. Luna is obviously the very best. I have always loved her and now that I accept this as canon I can love her even more.
The only thing I am sad about is that Harry is not very wholesome to his friends (except Luna probably) and in that regard still immature but I guess it's somewhat understandable that one doesn't have the greatest patience when having to go through school again as a 23 year old. And also it's a parody so what can one expect?

I don't usually read fanfiction, but I was recommended this one and I read it and it was freaking amazing. Basically, Harry gets sent back in time to his eleventh birthday but instead of worrying about Voldemort he decides to do shenanigans(tm), team up with lockhart to sell Harry Potter merchandise, and lose the house cup every year. Also, maybe, save some lives.
This is a masterpiece. JK Rowling may as well retire because Sarah1281 wrote my new canon for Harry Potter. Please for the love of God read this.

A 4.5 star review. Rounded down because Sirius did get on my nerves quite a bit.
One of the best fanfics I've read in quite awhile! Seeing Harry relive the first 4 years of Hogwarts with all the foreknowledge of his first time around was absolutely hilarious and incredibly satisfying. I just wish it had gone on longer, or there had been some sort of follow up, so we could hear if he succeeded in getting together with Ginny in this timeline as well, but I'm just going to take that for granted.
Just plain FUN!

I don’t know how to express my love for this book, except to say that it is probably the best thing I’ve ever listened to in my entire life and I really really wish that this would be made into the TV series that HBO is going to do instead of whatever crap they’re going to give us
This was fantastic

Funny thought but not the best writing
August 28, 2024
Uma fic a recontar os acontecimentos de HP, mas onde o Harry volta atrás no tempo sem querer e tem de reviver tudo outra vez, mas com o conhecimento que ele tem enquanto adulto, e por isso ele é super sarcástico, zero fucks e está só a viver a sua melhor vida a trollar toda a gente??? SIGN ME THE FUCK UPPPP
O Harry de 11 anos a dizer “Voldemort” e “Riddle” sem vergonha nenhuma; O Harry a ser kinda amigo, mas ao mesmo tempo a humilhar o Draco 24/7; o Harry a dizer que sabe tudo o que vai acontecer porque a sua cicatriz lhe diz, e toda a gente achar que ele é meio louco mas a aceitar na mesma; o Harry a treinar o Cedric para ele fugir caso algum dia “por acaso” vá parar a um cemitério (👀), etc etc, era tudo o que eu precisava e não sabia!
A parte mais engraçada e bue à toa, foi o facto do Harry ter como missão de vida perder a House Cup, refilar cada vez que ganhava pontos e festejar cada vez que os perdia, e fazer de tudo para isso acontecer.
So random, but so funny.
Coisas engraçadas à parte, foi muito querido ver o Harry a fazer amizade com o Neville, a Luna e a Ginny mais cedo, e a ter uma espécie de amizade com o Draco e utilizar essa oportunidade para o influenciar de forma positiva, numa tentativa de o fazer ser menos bitchy e ter uma atitude menos “Im superior to all of you because of my blood and money”
A fic tem 50 capítulos e é fast paced, ao mesmo tempo que também enrola um bocadinho. Principalmente no início. Mas lê-se bem, de forma geral.
No final só fiquei um pouco desiludida porque o Harry não volta à sua timeline original, o que me fez bue impressão. MAS THATS OK, BECAUSE ITS A FIC AND IT WAS A FUNNY EXPERIENCE!
O melhor desta minha Era das fics é mesmo o lore e os pormenores todos que eu estou a aprender sobre o universo de HP. Juro que já aprendi mais com as fics do que com os livros/filmes.

Man this was such a fun read!
Basic premise is that Harry Potter half-accidentally goes through the Veil and ends up in the body of his 11yo self. With no way of getting back, he's going to have to go through it all again, but this time he's not messing around. With far more competence in magic than our previous experience of him would indicate, he knows he can breeze through school for at least a few years, and so he might as well make friends with Luna, Tonks etc as soon as he can, put aside his petty feud with Draco (somewhat) and, oh yeah, deal with the Dark Lord as quickly as possible. It helps that Sirius knows what's up, having also come back through the Veil into his younger self. Unsurprisingly, this allows events to take place apace, and so a 7-book saga can become 50 glorious chapters.
There is so much sass from Harry and so many meta jokes picking fun at the mechanics of the HP universe that it is an absolute delight and had me choking with laughter late at night. Is it a little weird for a Harry mentally in his 20s to be friends with a bunch of children without them knowing? Maybe a little, but he knows that too, and he is in the body of an 11yo so what's he to do. Only about two people know that Harry went back through the Veil; the rest of the world just thinks he is an utterly insane kid with *maybe* a sentient scar. Almost surprisingly, he does manage to reforge his old friendships despite his crazy behaviour and the way he seems so set on making tonnes of money from his own fame and misfortune.
In any case, I strongly recommend this to any HP fan. It's utterly irreverent and incredibly funny and rather clever, and I'm sure they'd enjoy it as much as I did.

Spoko spoko.
Okej dobra, kilka rzeczy
Drarry nie jest zaprzeczone, i w mojej głowie jest oficjalne
Luna cudowna
Hm przyszłość harrego jest coraz bardziej niewiadoma im bardziej oddala się od punktu do którego się cofnął więc to, także nie było by okazji takiej samej jak ostatnio w departemencie tajemnic ale może poszliby to obczaić może
Syriusz jest orką z majorki #1
A Remus jest zapasowym ojcem chrzestnym
Czy remadora (fuj nazwa) mi jakoś bardzo przeszkadzali? Szczerze to nie. Może dlatego że rowling tego nie pisała. Serio każda rzecz w tym świecie fandomowym nie ma zbyt dużego wysłania żeby być lepszą od oryginału.
Jakbym była większą fanką wolfstar może bardziej bym rozpaczała z ich powodu.
Ale za to jestem fanką konceptu drarry i wnoszę że tutaj byłoby idealne, znaczy po tym jak harry by zaakceptował że jest co najmniej bi i że alternatywna linia czasowa woła o alternatywny styl życia. Przyjaciółmi byli, for gods sake. Co można chcieć więcej
No
Spoko
Fajnie było czytać znowu, nawet że świadomością że wracam do świata na którego punkcie miałam niemałą obsesję a od którego stopniowo się oddalam głównie przez to że materiał źródłowy jest właśnie tym, materiałem źródłowym którego istnienie się toleruje (z właściwych powodów)
Coś jeszcze? Raczej nah
A jednak
To jak przez tą książkę się czułam, magiaaaa
Dużo zależy od głównego bohatera jak ja się czuję czytając, zwłaszcza jak pozwalam głównemu bohaterowi na mnie oddziaływać, więc harry który jest pewny siebie i przyszłości dobrze działał
Pozdrawiam i dziękuję Sarah1281 za napisanie tego te prawie 17 lat temu
Okej dobra, kilka rzeczy
Drarry nie jest zaprzeczone, i w mojej głowie jest oficjalne
Luna cudowna
Hm przyszłość harrego jest coraz bardziej niewiadoma im bardziej oddala się od punktu do którego się cofnął więc to, także nie było by okazji takiej samej jak ostatnio w departemencie tajemnic ale może poszliby to obczaić może
Syriusz jest orką z majorki #1

Was it well written? Not at all. Did it feel like the same conversation was being had year after year after year? Totally. Was it funny? You bet.
After reading All The Young Dudes last October I was a wreck. A hollowed-out human being. So I did what anyone else would do. I went on Reddit and saw this book as a recommendation to read after completing ATYD. And it worked right off the bat. It was hilarious and interesting. Like a really long What If? episode. Would I read it again? No, it’s way too tedious. But it was very amusing.

Can’t believe I’m giving a fan fiction 5 stars but here we are. This was absolute perfection. Everyone who grew up reading HP will enjoy this. It is exactly how I assume a 23 year old book Harry would act after being transported back to his 11 year old body. And SO FUNNY! My only complaint is that it ended much too soon

Decent read, definitely funny, but at times too over the top. I didn't like how the butterfly effect didn't really seem to happen and we don't know for sure if everything worked out for Harry later in life (like if Ginny ended up choosing him) but it was fun for what it was.

I really enjoyed the beginning!! It just got a little blasé
And long winded 😂. The first three years were very fun—and I love the idea of it. It just felt a bit surreal since it never took itself seriously ever.

I like this as much or maybe more than I like the actual books
160k words of pure spit-water-out-of-your-mouth-and-nose funny.
What a riot!!

Har egentligen läst denna sen i höstas och har spenderat en stor del med att bara skratta för den är verkligen fantastisk. Rekommenderar alla som gillade Harry Potter böckerna att läsa denna med!!!!!
