“Really, in prison?” said Harry

“Yes, Harry, barbecue was invented in Azkaban”. The headmaster loaded an additional 50 kgs to his squat bar. “Why are you looking at me with those dewy eyes? Come spot me!”

Harry was flabbergasted by Dumbledore’s words. “But…how? It makes no fucking sense, sir…”

“2 words: barbs & cues. Isn’t it obvious? It started as a habit to cook them meats on them barbed wires while leaving no cues behind, so they won’t be kissed and shit”.

Harry started gnawing on a protein earwax candy bar. “You’re such a moron sometimes, sir”. Then, he spotted him.

    The first part is the best - a beat-for-beat parallel of the first book. Then it starts to deviate and gets kind of self-absorbed.

    The author, Eliezer Yudkowsky is a famous AI researcher with somewhat controversial opinions. You may have heard of his piece “If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies”.

    He’s also witten “Rationality: From AI to Zombies” which might be interesting if you like the “rationality” aspect of the fanfic. It’s really dense, though - I’d very much recommend anyone to start with HPMoR.
