/ Book&Literature / I'm just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, nothing more.
Synopsis
Just having crossed into the world of Harry Potter, Sherlock Forester, without a golden finger or memories of the original owner's life, regarded the offer letter from Hogwarts in his hand with a sneer.
"It's just a professorship in Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts."
-----------------
Years later, the Daily Prophet interviewed Harry Potter, one of the most outstanding wizards of the 21st century.
"What was the happiest day of your life?"
An involuntary smile spread across Harry's face.
"The day after Professor Forester predicted that I would be taken by Voldemort."
"Um… And the day you'd least like to relive?"
Harry's face darkened immediately.
"Every Christmas."
"Why is that?"
He covered his face in agony, letting out a sob.
"Wu Wu Wu… Because on that day, Professor Forester would wish me Merry Christmas!"

Authors a robot. I refuse to believe they were born and had a childhood. If they were, then they'd realize their biggest mistake. The grammar is fantastic, the updating stability is astounding, and your verbiage is articulate. However, your writing comes off as desperate and void of any emotion. Everyone's words are so robotic and a sad attempt to be me more grandiose than the last that is comes off as faker than plastic with no real substance. Read this comment as an example. It started off simple, and then I just used bigger and bigger words to make it a not so simple comment. There's also the fact that the main characters are children. I refuse to believe every last one of these children (especially Ronald Weasley) could articulate such words in not only a timely response but quantity as well. As such, the story feels like the author is trying to prove that they know big words and they know how to use them. Just like this comment. It's easy and it's desperate.
The translation is great, unfortunately the story itself isn't. The MC feels wooden and his lack of knowledge about the life of the person, whose body he's occupying, makes things incredibly confusing. Not only does he lack the memories of the person whose body he's in, but he also lacks a lot of knowledge about the Harry Potter world, since he only read the first book and watched reviews of the movies. His lack of knowledge about magic and the world in general is seriously frustrating to read about and it makes him feel like Lockhart 2.0, as he basically has to BS his way through life. Some people might enjoy that kind of story, but I certainly don't.
it's a really bad read. I don't get the false comments saying how it's really good and everything. The characters lack a spark of life, they're mere caricatures with awkward dialogues. The story reads like a true chinese trash fanfic...seriously, they are all mostly from same mould. Pushing out lots and lots of chapters without the quality to back it up.
as of right now ( ch 33 ) its a nice read, with good translation , btw chad translator🗿 just for making his new versions of chapter 27-28 as the originals were a bit lacking , so i will give it 4.8 now awaiting more chapters to come so i can give my final rating 🙃
This story can be summarized into three words: Chinese FaceSlaping Western style. It completely ruins the harry potter story. The previous charming, sweet harry Potter became a young master in a matter of 10 chapters. Hermione turns into a spoiled brat who thinks she knows everything, constantly questioning the MC. The whole class just rides it out like a generic chinese novel. Of course you can't forget the 'Elder looking down on junior because his 'new/young' cliche, even though the MC has proven himself sooo many times.
An exciting story!! I can't wait to read the sequel. Just one thing: I'd like to see the professor perform spectacular magic tricks in future chapters. The embodied person seems to me weak compared to the original character.
It’s pretty rare for me to write a review even though I enjoy all (most) stories I read but this one certainly deserves one. This is a translation so if you don’t like it you can’t really complain but pretty much it’s about a dude who knows next to nothing about HP (except for some oddly specific things that nobody would know). Dude ends up becoming a teacher at Hogwarts for DADA and yeah it’s pretty good. Writing quality is pretty good props to the TL and maybe editor if there is one (Im not sure) Update stability is insane the dude just keeps on pumping out chapters which I can’t complain. As for the others you should read it out so you can decide for yourself but overall it’s a pretty good story which can be kind of hard to find on WN so yeah.
congratulations to the author and translater because the writing is spectacular. I want to read more so please keep up the good work.[img=recommend]
Es muy bueno que le agregadas tu propio estudio, como con Tom al cambiarlo por una criatura mágica, gracias por traducir está novela y si puedes agregar más novelas pero con tu propio estilo por qué si e leído novelas chinas que si al principio están bien pero luego te agregan poderes que rompen rápida mente con el equilibrio del mundo o les dan sistemas que sacan poderes y cosa fumadas...bueno gracias por por traducir está novela sigue así, ánimo

Reveal Spoiler
it has such an interesting concept that I enjoy, and concepts like this are my favorite things to read.
I had initial no problems with guy's lack of knowledge on the Harry Potter world or the guy not getting the body's memories. It was interesting but I'm now dropping this sadly as this story has strayed too far from HP lore and also doing some stupidity. Really 50 wands !!! that literally makes zero sense Does the guy wants to be Gilgamesh or something . Nonetheless , There's a reason every wand is unique to individual .Also , it will take more magic just to handle those wands . Anyway , good luck on your future endeavors .
Essa história é boa demais, a Gosto muito de ler ela e estou acompanhando fielmente cada capítulo lançado! E é bom demais essa interação entre Sherlock e Harry!
the plot of the story gives me shivers and excitement as to what will happen next in the next chapter
Une histoire passionnante !! J'ai hâte de lire la suite. Juste un chose: j'aimerais voir le professeur réaliser des tours de magie spectaculaire lors des prochains chapitres. La personne incarnée me semble faible par rapport au personnage d'origine. Merci, j'attends la suite !!
-- shameless 5 star review -- Just to clarify again, this is a translation of a chinese fanfic - I'm not the original author. The only reason I'm doing this is because the Omny1928 seems to have stopped updating his version and I wanted to keep reading the book. As for the story itself I think it's pretty decent, this is by the author (大海船) of - In This Hogwarts Without a Savior - My Hogwarts Has Major Problems - Harry Potter and the Source of Magic If you want me to translate those too, let me know.
