Hmm. In my other fic I made him a spy, modified his memory several times, and shot him. In this one I deafened him.
I think I have a subconscious dislike of Dean Thomas. Odd, that. |

I promise I won't make a pun out of your name.
Know that I appreciate your reviews.
Why do you use such a name if you've got a perfectly good one like Tricia?
You liked Mary and Sue, then? Of course you did, they're so wonderful...
Smile! |

Okay now that was funny. I loved Dean's part in there --hearing voices is never a good thing, not even in the wizarding world. Seamus with the goblet thing was funny and then Harry with asking Ginny and all...
Simply hilarious.

This is a great compilation of goofs from the films and books.
It must've taken a sharp mind and eye to spot all of these, and even more writing skill to actually be able to make a fic including all of the mistakes in a humorous fashion.
Well Done!

| My mind naturally seeks out logistical possibilities in stories, although of course I am far from the first one to spot any of these problems. I think some of my solutions/explanations may well be unique, though. |

FUN!!
Except when you made a 1984 reference. I am in deep denial about the existence of that book. (You try studying it for FOUR MONTHS with a lunatic lecturer and see how you feel about it).
But apart from that this was hysterical. Really liked the thousand voices bits.
I laughed every kind of laugh (except possibly evil mwahaha). From little giggle-chuckle, to a snort. (Don't spread the fact that I snorted around OK, I want to pretend to be ladylike)
Good grief. I'm really sorry but I just about felt my brain leave my head during that review. That really was a fantastic fic. Ignore the rambling |

Hey, I ramble myself. My wife claims she enjoys it. :-}
I was heavily traumatized by 1984 also - in fact I wrote a short-short called "1994" in which I postulated a Swiss overthrow of the system described therin (the Swiss having remained independant, and being willing to destroy the governments of the three powers without conquering them). That helped, but I still refuse to re-read the book. |

| Hehe, very amusing parody... one of the better ones I have read. I actually did "laugh out loud" when I got to the Eurasia line, hehe. (Good to know someone else has read 1984 ^^). |

| Oh, I'm sure there are many people here who've read and been traumatized by 1984. :-) |

I forgot to tell you, I have something of a theory about the numbers of students, though it doesn't work in Harry's earlier years. If magic is a natural occurance, I doubt that there are exactly twenty witches and twenty wizards born each year in England. Even if they were, they wouldn't split evenly into the four houses, as magic came before Hogwarts. Unless the sorting is done precisely so that the students would be split up evenly, which is hard, because the hat has to sort each student as soon as he sees them and can't look at all of them before deciding. Also, there probably would be students born in other countries.
That being said, I would imaging that there would have been a wizarding baby boom right after Harry defeated You Know Who. Couples would be more comfortable having children after the war, and might have waited so that they could be born in better times. And since there were probably many deaths during the war, the students in the years above Harry would be reduced. So I imagine that there would be at least double or triple the number of students in the years two and three below Harry in comparison to his year, and then high numbers continuing. |
Gridley Wednesday 9th February 2005 16:05 | Mathamagic (Author Response) |
Unfortunately our evidence is a little more solid - it seems that Slytherin + Gryffindor (Harry's Year) is 20 students, as is Hufflepuff + Gryffindor. With at least 8 Gryffindors, Ravenclaw would need to be huge to really bring up the numbers. The baby boom theory helps somewhat more, but we've already hit ~800 by Harry's third year.
Harry's year at Hogwarts would have to be amazingly small, or three of the four houses very unpopular in that year, to make it come anywhere close.
If you're interested in more detail, there are some more details on the Harry Potter Lexicon. |

| Well, there's a fair amount to get, but just try not to take any of it seriously, think of Flints, and you should be fine. |

| Eh. He's the Mystic Old Sage who Knows All and Tells Little. Its magic! I'll let that one slide. But just how many students does the school which is the centerpiece of your entire series have, Jo? |

| Oh, there's plenty I missed. I could have brought up term always staring on September 1st regardless of what day of the week that is, why the Hogwarts express takes longer to go one way than the other, how many days there are in a week, the logistics of class schedules, the logistics of O.W.L. exams... |
