"I wanted it to be an anagram of my name, but that would only have worked if I'd conveniently been given the middle name of 'Marvolo', and then it would have been a stretch."

That story is just the best. I've read it more times than I will publicly admit

It's great. Admittedly sometimes gets a little heavy on the "dropping bricks" on things from the original (I think it lampshades that tendency in the actual text, even), and shoe-horning in all kinds of references.

HP-but-intelligently-written scratched an itch I didn't know I had. It does any number of things better than the originals... wonder if the guy's going to write more stories, whether they're parodies or originals.
