My collection of good Harry Potter reads. Heavy on longer, completed classics, AU, Independent, Darkish Harry. Some cute kid Harry, nonangsty HPSS slash and other guilty pleasures. Emphasis on character, plots and the author's passing acquaintance with good grammar and spell check. |

Practical Magic Works Too by
Fairywm reviews
After Harry and Neville's parents were killed, Death decides they must be protected, so he gives the two tots to the most powerful witches he knows. What will happen at Hogwarts when they return? Who knows, but it should be fun to watch. No slash. Romance at the end. Powerful and Independent Neville and Harry. Bashing of Magical Britain.

The Shock of it All by
Fairywm reviews
A freak potion accident renders our hero without memory of who he is. Watch as the new Harry takes Hogwarts by storm. No one is going to tell him what to do. AU 4th year. Super!Unfettered!Cussing!Harry. Some bashing, but not stupidly so. Not a crossover, but with a lot of Sci-fi references. Harry's a bit of an ass.

Enough by
White Angel of Auralon reviews
Harry Potter wasn't stupid nor naive. He grew up having to look out for himself. Why would that suddenly change in the Wizarding World? But a snake in lion's clothing wouldn't reveal itself until it was to late to stop him. He wanted freedom, and he would get it. No matter what Dumbledore, the Ministry or Voldemort might think. Alternate from Order of the Phoenix

Stepping Back by

Post-OOTP. The episode in the DOM has left Harry a changed boy. He returns to the Dursley's to prepare for his inevitable confrontation with Voldemort, but his stay there is very short-lived. He finds himself in the care of people who he has no choice but to cooperate with and they give him a startling revelation: Harry must travel back to the 1970's to save the wizarding world.

What if Sirius actually rescued Harry from the Dursleys' at the end of his third year? What if Harry decided he'd had enough of taking everything laying down?
