Added DiffLines:

* IKnewIt: Yudkowsky was very impressed by how many people guessed how Harry was going to handle [[spoiler: Hermione's trial.]]
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Now only applies to the source material fans subject to such, not specific fanworks doing it.


* RonTheDeathEater: Ron himself gets this treatment, as the author doesn't think too highly of him. He is portrayed as an unreasonable jerk as he insists that Harry is evil through InsaneTrollLogic, downright bullies Hermione for associating with him and is implied to be the one to loudly cheer [[spoiler: after a number of his fellow students lost their parents in the epilogue]]. His only role within the story is to serve as a butt of a joke every so often and to show how much smarter the main cast is compared to him.

** Harry can be viewed as a paragon of goodness and hope, a highly flawed hero, self-centered prick with only the barest of good intentions or even a borderline DesignatedHero. It mostly depends on whether the reader agrees with Harry's philosophy and how much of Harry's smugness they are willing to tolerate.

* HypeBacklash: This is likely one of the most popular fanfics in the ''Harry Potter'' fandom. Naturally, this has led to a lot of people who consider it wildly overrated, in particular deeming Harry a sanctimonious narcissist whose ego and self-importance both need a serious deflating, and the author not ''nearly'' as smart as he thinks he is.
