Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality

I don't normally read fan fiction but Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is excellent. "Petunia married a professor, and Harry grew up reading science and science fiction. Then came the Hogwarts letter..." As well as giving a new, highly entertaining perspective on the Harry Potter universe, it introduces various methods of thinking rationally (more of which can be read at the author's Less Wrong wiki).
