    Summary: Harry Potter is stuck in the body of our favorite Dark Lord. Voldemort becomes the BoyWhoLived. Will they manage to live eachother's lives until a solution is found? Ignores HBP.

    Harry and Voldemort switch bodies. It's that simple.

    What follows is mildly funny and interesting story of how Voldemort handles the Dursleys and the Weasleys and how Harry acts as a Dark Lord.

    It could have been done better. It's strange how, unlike Harry, Voldemort don't find absolutely nothing remotely appealing in being Harry Potter. Still, the way he handles the Dursleys is great and shows just how stupid canon!Harry actually is.

    Meh, nice story, I'd say (even with hints of H/LV at the end). Worth reading.

    Yep, just finished the last chapter about a week ago. Pretty good, but like you said, it could have been done better.

    Haven't read this one. May give it a try if friends don't show up wanting a poker game tonight, but your comments made me think of a similar fic:

    Sweet Sixteen Again by Crimsonphoenix1
    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2021538/1/
    COMPLETE. Post-OOTP. When Voldemort attacks Harry and Dumbledore comes to fight him, Harry accidentally casts a strange spell that turns Dumbledore and Voldemort into 16 year olds, Harry's age. Now both of them must live with Harry and the Dursleys...

    That one features 16 year old Albus and Voldie at Privet Drive. Of course you must completely suspend disbelief that they can all work together and not try to kill each other, but even still... it's like a situation that really should come off funnier than it is. And in the end, the story's just meh... you won't miss much by not reading it, but it's got a few moments. And it's a funny premise.

    Hilarious! Not as funny as nonjon's, but still, it's good for a laugh.

    I'll give it a shot.

    In any case, nonjon has the market cornered when it comes to humor. So comparing any regular funny fics with his works is just blasphemy, I think.

    But yeah. I'll give this a whirl though.

    Hrm only found a few bits in this funny, read like a badly done, or rushed, normal fic.

    Interesting concept, could of been done as a good oneshot, if the author added alot of polish to it.

    Yeah, I thought this fic was funny when I read it, but since then, I've read You Did What?!, so I know better now. Still, an interesting concept.
