We asked the BuzzFeed Community for the best fan fiction they ever read, and Harry
Potter fans delivered. Here are fics Potterheads should check out:
1. Harry Crow by robst

Warner Bros.
Word count: 737,000

Rating: PG-13

Author Summary: "The Dursleys are excruciatingly normal. They were just plain
ordinary people, trying to live their orderly lives. Why should they take what they
consider an abnormal freak into their home? This is so not a crossover fic."

"If Harmony is your OTP this a MUST." �irisibethcamarenah

2. H J Potter by S.M wane

Word count: 563,028

Rating: R

Author Summary: "Who would expect that sharing a simple kiss with his best friend
was all it needed to begin a journey far beyond his greatest imagination? Soul-bond
fic."

Confined to a small space with only the Mudblood for company, something's going to
give. Maybe his sanity. Maybe not. "There," she spat. "Now your Blood's filthy
too!" DM/HG. PostHBP."

"It's the most believable Dramione one I've read, and I've liked it so much that I
actually re-read it a few times! I just think she dealt with the Mudblood
prejudices really well." � Katy English, Facebook

5. Macbeth by cyropi
Word count: 120,000

Rating: PG-13

Author Summary:"'Come what come may, time and the hour runs through the roughest
day.' Voldemort's second rise to power and a part in Shakespeare's infamous
Scottish Play make this fitting for Hermione � especially when she discovers a

enjoy it will absolutely love regardless." �haleym4714e6dc6

14. That the Science of Cartography is Limited by Rave

Word count: 7,364

Rating: R

Author Summary: "The whole thing is silly and illogical. There has to be a rhythm.

like that."
