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.

Date: January 30th, 2008 07:22 pm (UTC)From:I don't think she's sticking to anything like "Tuesdays". After Chapter 9, or whichever is the last one on that site, she switches to another website for chapters 10 and onward, and they don't have header links there (or indeed internally -- the link to 11 is only at the bottom of 10, etc. annoying). She left me an anon comment on IJ and said she had about 30 chapters of it written but it was not all up. I think she's up to 14? maybe? and then the link to 15 just said "coming soon", or did as of yesterday.
