It doesn’t sound like much, but it’s so hard that most people can’t do science. So you have to learn how to admit you’re wrong, over and over and over again.

“You going to explain that?” “Trying to figure out how something works on that deep level, the first ninety-nine explanations you come up with are wrong.

“And that cost?” “Learning to admit you’re wrong.” “Um,” Draco said after the dramatic pause had stretched on for a while. The power comes with a cost, a cost so high that most people refuse to pay it.” Draco nodded at this as though, finally, he’d heard something he could understand.

If they make you giggle, then you'll enjoy the book! The fanfic is available to read and download here. Saying anything else can spoil the fun of reading the book. When he receives the letter from Hogwarts, he approaches this situation scientifically. He is a firm believer in the scientific method, and at the same time, still, a kid, who has a fresh pair of wide eyes and looks at the world with childish curiosity, all of which makes him a perfect scientist. Harry, mainly thanks to his father, grew up to be a very smart and educated kid. Petunia and her husband didn't have kids, and after they had to take in Harry, they raised him in a loving and caring environment. Lily Potter, Harry's mother, had a good relationship with her sister, Petunia, who married a successful Oxford professor. The world is the same but with a few changes. The story is set in a world familiar to those who read the original Harry Potter books or watched the movies. And it is also one of the best science fiction books I have ever read. Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is, by far, the best fanfiction I have ever read. The cover picture was taken at Universal Studios Japan.
