arcanetrivia: a light purple swirl on a darker purple background (approve (quality fanfic))

This person has apparently undertaken to rewrite Deathly Hallows, and so far (Ch. 8) they're doing a very good job of it. Some glaring illogics have been fixed (Fidelius again works like we'd expect it to), dumb things are un-dumbed (Harry lets Hedwig go because he knows it's too dangerous to keep her; "seven Potters" is turned into a simple Muggle-vehicle getaway), action and interminable newspaper articles tightened up, and people given their brains back (LOL), including Voldemort, who in this version has kidnapped (and then killed) Sybill Trelawney so as to finally get the full prophecy from her. The writing style reads like Rowling (thankfully sans the addiction to dashes and ellipses, however *hem hem*) and they've woven in some of the good lines from the book as well.

To be honest, I'm not much of a reader of long stories--Pretty much Harry Potter, and that's it--but I might look into this. There are things I despised about DH, so this might be interesting.

and interminable newspaper articles tightened up

Am I the only one who feels that you could take the entirety of the plot about Dumbledore's past out of DH (say, for the movie), and not alter the plot one whit?
