"Definitely no easy read, needs re-reading often. Rather useful, and I love how he deconstructs some counter-arguments I’ve heart in this millennium with both ease and joy. The conclusion style — where present, see the other reviews — is similarly lighthearted. Downside is my lacking knowledge of english and french pronunciation for some parts." Jan 02, 2026 04:23PM

“And lastly, you must always remember to cover your crystal ball with a dark cloth when it’s not in use.”

Hermione uncharacteristically snorted again. “I suppose it’s to keep the spirits from gaining a foothold in the land of the living,” she sarcastically added.

“It should be there!” Granger exclaims. “What’s the point of a library if it’s incomplete!”
Flamethrower, Of a Linear Circle - Part VI

“[…] Auch erzählte er ihnen, daß [Lord Zabini] ab und zu einen Muggelleichnam dazu verwende, seinen Tod vorzutäuschen, um seine Frau dann unter einem anderen Namen zu heiraten. Er und sie würden es total lustig finden, daß sie dadurch von allen für eine Schwarze Witwe gehalten werde, da noch niemand […] ihr Spiel durchschaut habe. […]”

“Programming is learned

“Hermione’s not the only one willing to open a book, you know? It’s textbooks I don’t care for… hundred pages of twaddle for every useful bit.”

McGonagall replied archly, “That ‘twaddle’ represents a thousand years of intensive study and improvements in practice, Potter. Our people have deified the Hogwarts founders for far too long, and I ask that you reject that example. Rowena Ravenclaw, for all her greatness, could not have performed much of third-year transfiguration — even the tools for constructing spells at that level did not yet exist.”
Mike [FP], Harry Potter and the Last Horcrux
