Fics like Harriet Potter and the Methods of Rationality

This is an iterative fanfiction of Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. The primary point of divergence is that James and Lily Potter had a daughter who they named Harriett Lily Potter. This is intended to be a fun, relatively-lighthearted take on hpmor. The majority of changes are a direct consequence of Harriet being female, either due to personality changes stemming from differences in how young boys and young girls are socialized, differences in how young boys and young girls are treated by society, and also the political ramifications of The-Child-Who-Lived being female. Harriet is far less impulsive and more emotionally mature compared to Harry, though like Harry she does still possess the same mysterious dark side. Her scientific interests also diverge somewhat from Harry, with less focus on theoretical physics and more focus on social sciences (in particular related to gender, for understandable reasons), which in turn led her to study more statistics, epidemiology, genetics, and public health sciences. I did change a few plot points not related to Harriet’s gender. There were some points I disagreed on, and some I just thought would fit the plot better.
