I find the story to be incredibly humorous and the science to be intellectually stimulating as well. However, I think that the author probably should've put links to the different places that the original author posted the story - especially since the book has its own website. (hpmor.com). Other than that, absolutely FANTASTIC!

I have to admit that I laughed my ass off almost every chapter but, BUT my brain started shutting down after dozen or so chapters. Reading all this science bullshit is like reading an obscure magic volume...

Alright, either im too stupid to understand this book or the author is a subpar writer with half baked knowledge from wiki and a pretentious snob. Either way, im out.

STOLEN! STOLEN! STOLEN! The story itself is pretty good, but this person just stole the story from the actual author to make money off of it. Do NOT support this thief and instead read it on fanfiction.net

Just read it 🤣🤣🤣🙃🙃🙃😊😊😊 When I first found this, I thought it said 22 chapters, but it was actually 122. Every chapter is hilarious, so just read it. 😄😁😊 And when you do, write some reviews, this book deserves more people to read it.

Ive read some of it on Fanfiction.Net and let me tell you its so smart that it makes me feel dumb. Some people might get intimadated because instead of a story that dumbs down everyone else within the story to make the main character seem smart this main character is actually smart. Even situations that seem impossible are explained next, amazing forshadowing. It can be a bit overwhelming to jump in, but its exciting, In an intellectual way. Everything has a explanation that doesn’t feel forced and made up, and some parts seem unrealistic and frustrating until It a think or to is reveal and everything falls into place. Like a big mystery waiting to be unfolded.

This book should be separated into 2 different book the first arc and the second arc are both really good, but the are completely separate in their focus. The first half should be the methods of rationality / experiments , while the second half is more plot based / getting stronger .

It has its funny moments. But to be honest, i only liked the first part. Based on the title, i was expecting only harry to be the only scientific and rational one. But when they all are, i felt disappointed and lost all interest. Also the fic truely diverged paths from the main story of the franchise so it felt like it lost the very essence of being a fanfic and went its own way. In other words i barely see the outline of the events in the movies anymore and no longer recognize this so i lost interest

Wish this had lasted for all the books. I didn't care much for the group battles though. The rest was great. I had to think a few times about the time travel segments.

This is the first fanfiction I ever read. It is still one of my top 5 and the only fanfiction I have read where a "smart" character is actually smart and even creative. He takes all the established rules and casually breaks them down with logic and knowledge, showing that magic is only weak if you limit it. It's interesting, it's innovative, and it's inspiring. The MC doesn't need extra abilities to dominate over others, he simply uses what is already there with insuperable skill.

This is quite possible the best hp fanfiction ever written. The story has thought experiments, social problems, and quite possible the most rational (pun intended) world-building of all hp fanfics. The story employs the trope of a educated, smart mc. However, as opposed to making other characters dumber to make the mc seem smarter, the mc himself is extremely smart, and yet there are people in the world who are smarter even than him. Thankfully, with the power of ACTUAL SCIENCE and rational thinking, he manages to keep a slight advantage? over others. I cannot stress this enough. THIS. STORY. IS. GREAT.
