3.0

4th in The Cupboard HP fanfic series. The parents/ guardians of Harry's group decide to establish a school which will provide more subjects/electives and competent teachers as compared to Hogwarts' deteriorating standards. This explores all the additional subjects offered and the multitude of extras required to start up a school.
SpoilerI liked how there were consequences for Dumbledore's negligence; in canon he was always welcomed back by the public (in the 2nd & 5th books). Harry, too was much smarter here. His experience with the 2nd year Parselmouth rumors ensured that he publicly vowed his innocence in being picked as Champion and refused to participate.

This fic focused on the reunion with Hogwarts students and staff, but described no interactions with students or faculty of Beauxbatons or Durmstrang. This seemed unrealistic to me as most of the students would have been curious to hear about the other schools and the exchange students would have been eager for news about the Potter Haven school.
