Unrelated to the latest chapters:

Inspired by RomeoStevens's comment in this thread, I am going over HPMOR, summarizing each chapter in a haiku. Tell me what you think:

Chapter 1:

Unexpected truth

Must still be updated on

Yes, magic is real

Chapter 2:

A show of magic

Tales of bitten teachers

The saga begins

Chapter 3:

Diagon alley

A peek into a new world

Stories of the past

Chapter 4:

Metal currency!

No real financial system

To speak of at all

Some more:

Chapter 6:

A resolution:

Understanding this world

Is a task indeed

Chapter 7

Journey to Hogwarts

Platform nine point seven five

Meeting new friends

Bonus one:

Quidditch needs a clock

The snitch is ridiculous

Reformation now!

And another:

All-powerful tea:

Harry impregnates Draco

So says The Quibbler

Nice.

Rewrite of Chapter 6:

A resolution:

Understanding this world:

What a task it is!

I like it. I think that's definitely an improvement on the last line.

Here are a few more:

Chapter 8:

Meet Hermione

Riddles and experiments

Start a new friendship

Chapter 9:

Waiting for sorting

Genetics are confusing

Never this before

Chapter 10:

The hat is conscious!

By asking, making sentience

Oops. A big mistake.

And another:

Ravenclaw sharpens

But Hufflepuff dulls his coldness

Where to put Harry?

And:

On this day fate splits

A great fork of destiny

Which path is right?

And:

One lone shouted word:

SLYTHERIN! ... Wait, what was that?!

Kidding! RAVENCLAW!
