It's Moontail, with an actual account. I found the password for this one, huzzah!
Anyhow, to the acutal review:
I've never been to England (I want to go there, though) so I can't get angry at you for including the waterpark, even if it isn't common. Same for the parades as well.
This was a cute, fluffy chapter. I like the idea of building up Casey and Harry's relationship.
Oh no, Harry's scar is burning! ...Subtle foreshadowing, eh?
The scene with Uncle Vernon was intense. How could he do such crap to Harry? At least it's mentioned that Vernon could have gotten in *big* trouble. Most stories that include the Dursleys doing
anything bad, they don't get in trouble.
Very good chapter overall.
Yeah, I'm a big believer in people (such as Vernon) having to face the consequences of their misdeeds!! Glad you liked the chapter!

Good God. You do know that this means England are all fans of Ian Thorpe the swimmer, don't you. Excellently written, and I love this story.
Okay, I'm an American and have only spent a couple of weeks in England (this past May) - I have no idea what you're talking about! Glad you're enjoying the story, but I'd LOVE an explanation of your review! LOL!

Vernon’s arse will be thoroughly kicked if he ever tries that again. Loved the water park scenes even if actual water parks aren’t common in the UK – there are indoor swimming pools with chutes and slides that will most definitely get you wet. Good chapter.
My Brit-picker told me water parks are rare there, but I just HAD to have it because I'd envisioned that wonderful scene with the slide and Casey's wardrobe mishap and Harry's blush. . .it was too cute to leave out!

It's always nice to see a story which actually uses Celsius. It's interesting to note how little time you dedicate to the OWLS. It's usually a much bigger deal.

I tried to write as "British" as I could, including researching locations and everything. Using Celsius was necessary! And the OWLs didn't have much impact on the story I was telling, so I didn't see a need to emphasize them.
