Review:
It's another year at Hogwarts (urm, some mythical extra year around book five, I think) and it's time to answer the most interesting question of any Harry Potter book: who *is* the latest Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher? The answer? Professor Colbert! Let's all give him a round of applause.
As you all know, I don't read a lot of Harry Potter fanfic (well, okay, back when I wrote this review I wasn't reading a lot of HP fic), but the premise of this story caught my eye and I decided to give it a shot. Man am I glad I did. Even though I've never seen The Colbert Report, I could guess what a typical show is like by the way he runs his Defense Against the Dark Arts class. The Word? Voldemort! Threat-Down #5? House-Elf Liberationists! And let's not forget the big interview (I'll let you read the story to find out who that one is). A great fic for anyone wanting a bit of snarky, sly humor.

I love how my boundaries expand every time I look around. When I started checking out fandom it was on various forums, and I would always find the people squeeing about fanfic humorous and/or a little disconcerting. Someone not usually into fic rec'd the above one to me - I checked it out, I liked it. Little did I know the seed had been sown. Then all versions of Highlander stopped being aired on my TV and I tripped across a bit of HL fic and... ::seasons changing; cue fic-search montage:: yeah, J2.
I liked the Raven as a guilty pleasure, but I would have much preferred Joe and Methos on an extended road trip. That was easily the best episode of the final season (and I didn't even notice till after the fact that Duncan wasn't in the episode)!
