Thanks to this review I went and read the first fanfic in years, and possibly the most multi-chaptered one in my life, and I liked it. It's really funny, mostly logical, always interesting, makes most of the characters sympathetic, and overall is really funny.

AMAZING
I LOVE Oh God Not Again. It's hilariously over the top, but in a good way. The story goes out of its way to lampshade and parody many common plot devices used in both fanon and canon.
Upon first reading this fanfic, I didn't even get past the author's note in Chapter 1 before cracking up. Honestly, this whole story is made of funny: From Lockhart's surprisingly enjoyable portrayal, to the running gag about Draco being Snape and Narcissa's lovechild (It makes sense in context), to Luna's quirky yet still-within-the-realms-of-canon behaviour, Harry's "psychic scar", his tendency to blatantly bribe his way through everything...
Utterly delightful madness and chaos reigns in this parody, yet it makes perfect sense, certainly more so than some fanfics which are actually TRYING to be serious. 50 chapters is far too short for a masterpiece like this. Fortunately, there's an entire treasure trove of other works by Sarah1281 that I haven't gotten round to exploring yet.
