The only thing i am willing to debate is when the next update are.

I have read this fic three times. End to end. I believe it is one of the best out there.

Keep it up. It is good work and i find it very enjoyable.

This is probably some of the best fan fiction I've ever read. It combines a great deal of thought with a considerable amount of writing talent while still managing to use the characters that gave this series so much allure without changing them too much. This story is darker and more mature than the original series and I can't profess how much I've enjoyed it.

It seems like it's been a while since there's been any updates on this piece, so I can only hope it's still in progress. I'd hate to see such a great story waste away. I understand that real life takes priority, so I'm not going to curse you or rush you, just put us readers down gently if you plan to leave it be. There's nothing worse than waiting for an update that will never come...

Anyway, this is an amazing piece regardless and I can't thank you enough for letting me read it.

Later,
Rex

just reread this story (the whole thing again). i personally was waiting for the story to get to a true divergent storyline, and you really seem to know how to turn it up a notch. i was wondering, do you have a diagram on your wall or something showing how things have changed and will continue to change? also, am looking foward to how you include the DH book into this story. i'll head on over to you're yahoo group to see what discussions have been had.

anyways i'll continue on over to you're naruto stories and will leave reviews there when i'm done rereading them again (a few times over).

I loved it, it's a nice twists to the story. The only thing I think needs adjustment is when Harry and Ginny get together. I love the two of them together, and seeing them skirt around each other is annoying to certain point. But hey, this is your story not mine so you can do what you want with it. I can't wait for more!

This is by far my favorite HP fanfic (and I have read hundreds)...is there anyway you can put more focus on this so we get chapters faster? I realize that now that the HP series is finished your interests may have began to wonder, but this story is too good not to finish.

Thanks and good writing

Absolutely breathtaking so far!
It's bloody brilliant!
When's the next one out? I just can't wait to read it!

Every time that I read this story I'm amused by the amount of social engineering that's going on. ERTW, keep up the good work, although it would be nice if you could update more frequently.

As to the wand issue: bear in mind that every dragon, unicorn and phoenix would produce unique cores. Harry's wand would not have been brother to Voldemort's if it had not been made with a feather from Fawkes, right?

Also, you have to remember that not all wands are the same length: there appears to be some vague correlations between height and wand-length although I'd have to look up to see if anybody's studied it.

Lastly, even two wands made with the same core to the same length are being made with different and distinct pieces of wood: there is no way that any two wands are ever going to be identical.

Think of a shoe-shop which only sells hand-made shoes, but in standard sizes: even two pairs which were nominally the same size would actually be slightly different.

I normally try to avoid WIP fics like the plague, but the summary for this one was so intriguing that I couldn't resist.

I'm glad I didn't.

Good evening,

I've enjoyed your work immensely thus far, and I would have to say that it has provided me with some inspiration for a piece that I have been working on along similar lines (although the time traveler is Draco Malfoy, and he keeps his body).

Still, I think you manage to convey the war shocked personality fairly well. One of the greater difficulties that I have with many works such as yours is that the person in question seems to be able to get over their issues very quickly.

So far, I believe you have handled it quite well, and I hope that you continue to have them be a prevelant issue for the character, perhaps even after the story is completed. It seems to be something that wouldn't just disappear instantly.

Also, I commend your take on Harry's greater vulnerability to Dementors. Usually such transposed elder characters are so much better than they should be, it's nice to see a weakness. If I may make a humble recommendation to play on Harry's emotional vulnerabilities even further. You already have had some great ones, but it would be nice to see him in a situation where he really does need his far saner friends to save his bacon.

I would say that there are some minor dialogue quirks in the earlier chapters that display an unusual degree of diction for a group of 11-12 year olds, but I've always found that teen to pre-teen dialogue is one of the hardest darn things I've ever had to write. The middle ground between childish phrasing and behavior and adult action is hard to balance.

Overall, I think you handled it well, but I confess that some of the characters (such as Goldfarb) might have been a bit more curious when an 11 year old talks like he's in his twenties.

Of course, I understand not wanting to get yourself bogged down in unimportant plot that doesn't move the story forward. Suspension of disbelief is both real and necessary.

Perhaps just something to watch for in the future. It would be nice to see some incredulous and highly suspicious reactions from the occasional side character. Perhaps even building up Harry's 'freak' status in the second time line. I'm sure someone like Parkinson could twist such a thing to her advantage.

Overall, I'm enjoying it. I will keep with it to the end. You did a good job of keeping my interest, and I really like where you've taken the new plot so far.

Look forward to the updates.

-W.W.

It took me an entire week to read the entire story once I really got into it and now I'm eally excited to read your newest chapter. I can't believe you'd be collecting rejection letters if your fanfics are this good.

Uh-oh. Well, that was a fascinating end to a chapter. Very well written, and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed your portrayal of Slughorn.

Minerva Granger posted a comment on Wednesday 29th August 2007 1:11pm

My apologies for the tone of some of my previous reviews. By now, you have probably noticed that i don't like cliffhangers, and I don't take threats against the characters I like very well. I apologise for that.

On a different subject, this chapter was very well written. The revelation of the Maruaders was priceless, and I thoroughly enjoyed the interview with Rita. I just hope some sort of arrangement can be made with Augusta Longbottom. We need Neville back.

Minerva Granger posted a comment on Wednesday 29th August 2007 12:44pm

Where's Professor Lupin when we need him? Insert string of swearwords in here. Evil cliffie must be destoryed.

Oh, damn. I really hoped Melissa wouldn't suffer for helping Harry. Poor Millicent. This story never fails to enthrall.

Minerva Granger posted a comment on Tuesday 28th August 2007 5:59pm

Well, I have to admit there's one which is kind of obvious. It's from the first book, Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone, where Harry says to Neville, "You're worth ten of Malfoy. The Sorting Hat chose you for Gryffindor, didn't it? And Where's Malfoy? In stinking Slytherin."

And now I'm done with my Hermione impression, congratulaions on a great chapter

EVIL!!

There was the most perfectly covered reference to I don't want to know what in that 'further discussions'. Personally, it has always had a interesting meaning to me. Did Kinsifre help out with that one?
