I spent 24 days of this month reading #HaryPotter #Fanfiction. I'd already read part 1 a couple of years back, but wanted to re-read before diving into the second one. I almost feel like I've lived the first 6 books over again. Compelling, funny, dark, gritty writing. Utterly captivated all the way through. > "The Evans Boy by lonibal “Mr. Evans,” Ollivander said, smiling wider. “Any relation to Lily Evans?” “Who?” Harry Evans was almost like any other boy growing up in Cokeworth. He lived alone in a house nobody else could see, he stole food from the supermarket and never got caught, and he had a little brother who had been hidden after the night their mother was killed. Harry was a secret, and he promised not to tell. A letter in an empty vault, a small boy with broken glasses, a portrait of a scowling girl. As Harry begins unraveling his own past, the threat against his brother grows. How long will his secrets keep when Harry is the only one standing between his brother and the world? A story about family, friendship, growing up, and, of course, the most powerful magic of all." part 1 covers books 1-4 at nearly 675000 words, and part 2 5-6 at 678.5k. They are incredibly different to much any other thing I've read in the space. https://archive.transformativeworks.org/series/4228465
