This is THE ULTIMATE GUIDE to Harry Potter fanfictions. Here, you will learn the dos and don'ts of the wizarding world, and how to handle your fanfiction in a way worthy of Rowling herself. You can learn to avoid cliches, think creatively, and make your readers forget they're reading a fanfiction at all, which is the goal. Hi, I'm Ellie, and I may not be JKR, and my word is not law, I have quite a bit of experience writing fanfiction. I will be the first to admit, too, that some of my earlier works are as cliche as Harry Potter having a twin sister, and there's no shame in that! Just be glad you can learn from your mistakes, and mine, and be prepared for a couple of laughs along the way! Warning: This is NOT a rant book. I don't just say what I think is wrong with fanfics, I give suggestions to make them better. Very rarely will I let my emotions control what I'm writing in this book. Feel free to rant within the comments, but don't expect me to do the same!

a group of friends have a summer of fun with plenty of wedgies included. These stories are based off my own experiences mixed with fiction.

After years of fighting the Dark Lord Voldemort, the young wizards and witches of Hogwarts are about to be put to a final test. Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, and his best friends Ron and Hermione, have organized a resistance named for their beloved former Headmaster; Dumbledore's Army must train in secret, because the horrible Dolores Umbridge has taken control of their school, punishing students severely for breaking her arbitrary rules. But Harry has other problems to deal with - problems only a magical teenager might understand. When Hermione develops an odd new study habit, Harry suspects the Slytherin House may be somehow involved. This new adventure will stretch them to their limits... and if they aren't careful, it may tear them apart.
