It's a Harry Potter fanfiction where Harry and some of the other characters are actually smart and had to rely on cleverness more than the mistakes of his enemies and sheer luck. It's really well written. Personally I find it better than the original books.
If all the characters are written differently and that causes the story to go in a totally different direction, why not just call it something else at that point and then market it under a new title? Especially if the story is solid like you say.
Because it's a fanfic entirely written using the world that Rowling setup in her original series. You can't just publish something that heavily based on already published works.
Didn't know that then, but now I do, and I agree with you.
