"WARNING: Something truly horrible happens..."

You were right about that. Just reading it affected me greatly.

I've read part of this on fan fic I think. Your site here is so much nicer. It's clean and easy to read with nice big print.

Your story is wonderful and your writing superb. From the dialog to grammar, you're professional all the way.

Gees, I'm still unsettled.

Thanks a lot for a really nice review - sorry you're still unsettled, though! Glad you like this new site. The "look" of it is thanks to the site's creator, Tim Joy ("Jeconais") - he's done a nice job here, hasn't he?

Thanks for writing!

Here I am, chapter eight, and haven't given you a proper review.
Let's just say I'm a git, and move on, shall we?

For Chapters 1-7:
Loved the Quidditch. Seeing it through Petunia's eyes was interesting. And the whole James/Petunia thing was a bit squicky, but an interesting byplay that got thrown into the foreground well. I liked the Remus and Harry interaction - the bit with Remus tucking Harry in. That was nice. And I've lost count how many times I've burst out laughing at your dialogue. It's brilliant! -- on a side note, the last chapter seemed to have SOOO much dialogue I almost got lost.

Nice bit with Harry's Bday party -Remus/Tonks engagement announcement and then wham! Dobby and Winky get married. :) The concert was well done. Sounds like you've been to a couple!

Loved the whole incident at the hospital. Harry's animagus abilities are going to leak out with all these people knowing about it. I liked the healing aspect of everything - and that Ginny is really intent on becoming a healer.

Marcus Pompfrey is becoming more than a minor character. I'm glad. I just hope you don't go to the bad bad bad thing in HP fic and kill him off before the end.

One note: Anti-apparition wards seem to be missing in this fic. I would have thought the Burrow and other magical places would have such security - just a thought. You have everyone popping around.

Loved the Ollivander bit and the wands. Irony is a deep well you tend to go fishing in - and that Harry now has a wand with his hair is funny. I was hoping that Ron would get a Harrycore wand, but that was probably too much for him to handle.

Now that Harry's out of the Dursleys (nice scene with Vernon, BTW) I like that he has started his mosaics again.

Harry's Temper: He's not lost it again. But having Gin kidanpped was interesting. Are we going to see a blowup soon?

There. That should cover the last several chapters. I promise to write more on each and every chapter I hit now.
Good work!

darn it. it's times like this i wish i cursed...stupid bloody filthy...death eaters! gah. i wanna have a turn with malfoy and his gang of losers...just a few minutes? i won't kill them...just torture. weird sisters concert sounds fun. like a Queen concert if Freddy Mercury were still alive...speaking of weird sisters, they were TOTALLY awesome in the movie. yay new movie! though i didn't like how dumbledore pushed harry into the cabinet...that was weird. other than that it was fantabulous...sorry. tangent. happens a lot to me...

Excellent read. From your opening note, I expected mutillation or deat, Not that what happened wasn't serious or psychologically damaging, i just expected something more 'graphic' like current horror films. Don't scare me like that! It took me twice as long to read this chapter just because I had to take a break to build up my courage to read each scene. I'm glad you didn't take Ginny from Harry, but I still think you should have left him with Casey.
