Ministry v. Harry Potter: An Analysis of Wizarding Britain’s Legal System by kitsunerei88
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, Original Work
14 Oct 2020

Summary
Harry Potter has three canonical trials and many other references to legal processes and systems which are never really explained in their totality. The few glimpses we do see are puzzling: why is Harry being tried before the full WIzengamot? Why does Fudge have such a huge role? What about Umbridge, and how does it all work? It's easy to say that JKR just didn't think of a cohesive legal system (and that may very well be correct), but what happens if we do an analysis of the legal processes shown in Harry Potter?
Or: A lawyer takes on Harry Potter, and discovers that all witches and wizards are noble. Actually.

Summary
A comprehensive tour through a typical service at Baldur's Gate United Church of Bhaal, complete with fully formatted bulletin and order of service! Watch in awe as The Dark Urge, Scion of Bhaal Most Unholy, gives a complete sermon justifying ritual human (dwarven) sacrifice without saying the word 'murder' once!
My ex-fundie trauma did something useful for once and let the Unholy Ghost of Murder Jesus take the wheel. Reviewed by my editor as "violently evangelical." Come for the crack, stay for the witty social commentary on modern organized religion.

This is just a normal Sunday morning in a church with literal instead of metaphorical murder.

Summary
Yes yes, Harry is the twin of the Boy-Who-Lived. Yes, he is a Potter. Yes, he was there when You-Know-Who tried to kill his twin. No, he does not remember. And you know what, he doesn't care. All of that drama is for Ben, and he can keep it to himself. What he does care about is his mum, learning about magic, curse-breaking, and perhaps finding a nice boy to spend the rest of his life with.

Summary
enver gortash character analysis piece aka i'm working through something [wip]
"I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful, I could be purple, I could be anything you like
Gotta be green, gotta be mean, gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me, why don't you like me?
Why don't you walk out the door?"
lyrics from Grace Kelly, song by Mika.
