Can I fall in love with someone's writing? I am so delightfully overwhelmed and emotionally satisfied. This was an absolute privilege to read.
Multiple points had me laughing out loud to the point of wheezing.
The author's mastery of just... characters is incredible. Her characters, her portrayal of them, her narration, her dialogue. She knows these characters better than J.K., better than any author I've read, better than the characters themselves. This piece is perfect inspiration for authors who are practicing and learning to know their characters well and trying to master writing varied, believable, distinct, and interesting personalities. To figure out what choices they'll make and things they'll say that aren't what the author would do or say.
Her LAVENDER. This FANTASTICALLY TALENTED AUTHOR. Here she took a character I literally did not give two shits about and made her into something human, someone _real_ that tugs on my heartstrings and makes me cackle out loud and makes me wish she was real, so I could be friends with her.
I was blindsided by how much I treasured reading about our four heroine women. It's just... so, so many fiction and fantasy stories have male main protagonists, you know? And if they have a woman main protagonist, there is usually only one and she doesn't get to have the types of friendships with other women that the author has created here. Quite frankly, this story makes me love being a woman.
A million bonus points for incredible HP lore and mastery of diction, eloquence, and sentence structures.
