Harry Potter Humor (shared by a friend of mine)

Bob,

I've been reading a Harry Potter fanfic called Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality that I think you'd enjoy. It essentially reimagines the HP series as if the titular character were an 11-year-old rationalist. Some parts have been laugh-out-loud funny.

Check it out!

[from Chapter 64]:

THE NAME OF THE RATIONALITY

The eleven-year-old boy who would someday become legend - slayer of dragons, killer of kings - had but one thought upon his mind, as he approached the Sorting Hat to enter into the study of mysteries.

Anywhere but Ravenclaw anywhere but Ravenclaw oh please anywhere but Ravenclaw...

But no sooner the brim of the ancient felted device slipped over his forehead -

"RAVENCLAW!"

As the table decked in blue began to applaud him, as he approached the dread table where he would spend the next seven years, Kvothe was already wincing inside, waiting for the inevitable; and the inevitable happened almost at once, exactly as he had feared it, before he'd even had a chance to sit down properly.

"So!" an older boy said with the happy expression of someone who's thought of something terribly clever. "Kvothe the Raven, huh?"
