“A scientifically trained Harry Potter enters Hogwarts armed with cognitive psychology, quantum mechanics, and the scientific method.”

What if Petunia Evans had married an Oxford professor of biochemistry instead of Vernon Dursley? Harry grew up in a household filled with science, logic, and thousands of books. By the time he receives his Hogwarts letter at age eleven, Harry is armed with the scientific method, game theory, and cognitive bias research. Entering a wizarding world that flouts the laws of physics, Harry sets out to rigorously deconstruct magical spells, revolutionize wizarding society, and pit his intellect against an enigmatic and terrifyingly competent Defense Professor.
