It had also -rather interesting summary. Only later I woke up to how many -Harry turns to girl stories there, and most of them are trash. -However, my first half-conscious thought when looking at this -was: “That’s a splendid idea, I wonder whether the happy world of -magic would be so magic for a girl. Crossover between Harry -Potter and feminism? Interesting.” I don’t want to write about -that particular story too much, because unfortunately I found it -to be a complete piece of trash. I am not sure about the author, -but it seems like the author was actually not a woman, but a gay -(transgender? something) male, and the story not much more than -a graphomaniac description of his fantasies without much touch of -a story. After spending a (long) chapter on endlessly describing -process of physical transformation with details of every part of -her body changed, and after (another!) long chapter spent on -shopping for clothes with her friends (Fleur Weasley & Nimphadora -Tonks! Can you imagine her to go for a shopping spree?), it went -straight to sex. I haven’t finished reading more than first few -chapters, and then left it where it belongs, in trash. So, this -is not a proper review of that particular story, just the highly -disgusted impression. - -However, the idea of taking on the patriarchy inside of the -magical world still seemed tempting to me. So, I went to -intentionally search for some story like this, but better -written. Only then I found that this story is probably just the -second one in numbers after “Do you wonder what would happen if -Harry Potter had a sister-twin?” (no, I am not), and most of them -are not better than that one. However, in the end, I found one -which seems interesting. “`Becoming Harriet`_” by Teao. - -.. _`Harriet Potter: What it is like to be a witch`: - https://archiveofourown.org/works/4699043 - -.. _`Becoming Harriet`: - https://archiveofourown.org/works/4876630 |
