Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is a fan fiction written by Eliezer Shlomo Yudkowsky, American scientific researcher and writer.

The work is a huge "What if?" that tells what could have happened if Harry Potter, instead of being adopted by the Dursley family, had been adopted by the Evans-Verres family. That is, if Potter's aunt, Petunia, instead of marrying Vernon Dursley and giving the wizard child abusive treatment, she would have married the professor at Oxford University, Michael Verres-Evans, and given him Harry love and contention.
And the change is not only that he was treated with affection and affection even after the death of his parents, but (and it is what makes this fanfiction really interesting) is that, thanks to the influence of his new father, he was inculcated in reasoning and scientific thinking.
Then we have an 11-year-old little scientist who, in addition to having to deal with the problems and adventures of the original novels, also embarks on the quest to rationalize magic and pass it through the filter of the scientific method.
The story touches and exposes topics from all branches of science, from biology and physics, to economics and humanities. And not only is it very didactic, but it does not forget the most important thing, it is super-restrained.
It is not necessary to have read all the HP books in order to read this one. Although it is advisable to have read even the first or, failing that, have seen the movie.

This story began to be published as a serial in 2010. And, with the passage of time, it was gaining more and more popularity in the network. So much so that it was even mentioned in The New Yorker and was approved by J. K. Rowling herself.
