This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It also Gary Stu's the hell out of Harry, like even more so. The only thing I love about that book, and it's spiritual sequal, is the fact that Hermione is, correctly, in Ravenclaw.

From a quick search, what I understand from your comment is that the book makes Harry flawless, is that right ?

Exactly. Basically a male "Mary Sue" character.

I don't know this reference either, but will look it up. From the context though I think I understand the gist of it. Thanks

Asset prices reflect all the information that everyone knows about the asset. So wands are not efficiently priced because the wand chooses the owner, but robes are generally fungible so should be priced efficiently
