By popular demand, here's a list of some HP stories I've been reading (or rereading) in the past couple weeks. Almost all of these stories are well-known and widely recced for folks who have been active in HP fandom, but since apparently lots of folks on my f-list, like me, merely dabble in the fandom and may not be aware of them, I've made a list of the stories that have been devouring me whole for the past couple weeks.

I'm pretty easy when it comes to HP fic: I'll read almost any pairing as long as I like at least one of the characters. My favorite characters tend to be Snape, Neville, Hermione and now Luna, but I'm also quite fond of Harry and Ron. Really, I love the world of HP so much it's one of the fandoms I'll happily read genfic in. None of the stories I am recommending in this set have DH spoilers (and these stories were all written pre-DH, though of course many of them are set after the war as the author imagined it), but I'm cut-tagging for length, because this turned into a rather long list. At the bottom of the recs, I also list a few of my favorite HP reccers for folks looking for even more HP fic to read.

Stood in line for about 4.5 hours, which was fun--at one point we had about 15 people playing Apples to Apples (which I bought once we had run out of HP conversation). Got home, made an attempt to sleep for about an hour, gave up and read the whole thing in about five hours. I think I'm just going to try to make myself stay up all day--I may go see the movie again this afternoon.

Anyway, serious and complete book spoilers behind the cut. Do not proceed unless you've read it or want to be spoiled! These are mostly incoherent first reactions; I expect I may post more on this after it's had time to settle.
