Sunrise Over Britain
By Bobmin
Wow. Aside from the tripping of the wards around the Isle, this was one powerful chapter. It illustrates once again Harry's love for life and respect for family. But I wonder about Molly. She's wanted. Is she in a camp? Is she even still alive? Is she repentant? Will she be? Is she still in hiding? For answers to these questions, I'll just read on. EXCELLENT!
NICE!!!!!!!
I am revisiting Sunset/Sunrise and I am enjoying it greatly. I don't usually review individual chapters in completed stories but I thought the scene where Hermione is teaching her mother contraceptive charms was particullarly inspired and deserving of kudos. Thanks for writing I find your stories especially appealing and I am fairly well read in the HP fanfiction world. W.
"How can we have notes when it's a new story?"
I demand notes.
*laughs* Love your disclaimer! (Sorry Alex but it was funny!)
As for the story intro, what an intro! Thanks for a (new to me) story to read!
Also, your disclaimers are so original and hilarious lmao.
Didn't comment on Sunset Over Britain, but I also loved Harry's sayings on the shirts.
My personal fave? The one about Voldemort's little mind. <3
This chapter touched me so strongly that I had to wipe the tears off my face.
The way you two write depicts life in such a realistic manner... the heartbreaks and laugh out loud moments are startlingly clear, as well as effective.
I read the first story, and I was amazed at how well you portrayed the characters, while keeping a believable plot.
I enjoy your witty lines and the perfect description- not too lavish, yet opening the scene to the reader's eyes as if they were there to listen and see all that was going on.
Certain sentences you wrote really struck me, and they carry a lot of weight, even more than what is obvious. In short, your story conveys humanity with blunt truthfulness.
(:
Thanks for writing.
Love the fic just wondering why after Harry found that spell for Ginny why didn't he get his leg amputated and use it on himself so he didnt have to be restricted as he is?
ok i haven't read the actual story yet but i had to comment on your disclaimer, freakin hilarious, at first i was like, what the hell? (i never read the bit saying standard disclaimer **blushes**) then i clicked who's story i was reading and everything just fell in to place lol you think i'd be used to them by now **rolls eyes** :-D
I have another question, when is Harry's Team going to check out Andy and the other DE's that are already in Ireland?
As for this chapter...war is hell.
Why doesn’t old Voldemort understand the overwhelming number of muggles. With the time line that he should have been in the orphanage wouldn’t he have seen major acts of violence. I
doubt if they blocked it from the kids.
Politicians were notoriously strange people
I think Gurprit calling Lavender daughter made me more emotional than the rest of this chapter
The rescue of the Patils is very well done, very moving.
This chapter brought tears to my eyes as I saw and felt that man die doing what he felt was needed to be done. Love your story.
I usually do not submit reviews because I do not read stories on line. When I discoverd Fan. Fics. I would look for a completed story over 100,000 words then print it up at work then read it at my leisure. We have a very fast printer where I work,example I printed up Sunset Over Britan in less tha an half hour. I love your work so much that I printed up Surise before it was completed and now I find myself looking every day for updates. I wish to thank you for taking the time and energy to create these wonderful stories for us. I am amazed that you do this for no pay and impressed that you love writting so much. Thank you....antipsychotic@hotmail.com
Hi, I have just started chapter 1 of Sunrise after my wife and I read Sunset in one day.
One thing, I hope you don't you don't think I am nitpicking but I was hoping that the problems with grammar would have gone away. In some sentences there are words left out or mixed tenses.
It is a very good fic and I know it will get better, as I said we are only on chapter 1.
just a thought, but if Harry Potter sealed Britain and things were getting desperate, couldnt the would just nuke them?
I've just finished reading Sunset and have started on the sequel. I've been planning to write a review for a while, but couldn't stop reading long enough to get around to it.
Your plotting is excellent-- engaging, suspenseful-- seriously, good enough to make minor flaws ignorable (I think it took a while for the voices of the characters to be well differentiated and not
sound like they were having conversations in prepared speeches). Sunset had me leaving the dishes at the cafe I work at to the end of my shift and then cutting myself on a broken martini glass in the
rush to catch up because I just could not stop reading. Seriously, I bled for half an hour. And got a long lecture from the night guy about how I wasn't closing my shift properly. The last time I
fell into a story like that was when I read through the series for the first time two summers ago (I just graduated with a degree in English Literature, which means reading hasn't been fun and games
for a while) . So, rock on, and keep the updates coming because I'm catching up.
But dudes, there's been one little tiny detail that's been driving me mad to the point that I've finally been motivated to write a review: Harry didn't make Hermione and Remus book bags of
requirement, he made them boxes of requirement. Obviously, this break in continuity doesn't harm the structure of the story, but has frustrated me to no end. Maybe the idea of a box over a book bag
was just more elegant and wizardy and reminiscent of the trunks everyone is carrying to and from Hogwarts and maybe I have suppressed a childhood trauma involving enchanted book bags, but I have my
roommate rolling in laughter every time I shout "Book bags??? They were BOXES!" during my reading. Yeah, I know, I should bring this up with the therapist, but for the love of all that is good and
holy, bring back the boxes!
Its more than absolutely great. please continue it very very soon!
Very good. Kinda tells it like it is. War isn't fun.

After reading your other, very long, story that began with Dumbledore's Army i couldn't wait to read more. Then you moved over here. Never commented before, just wanted to say you two are brilliant, and your stories very engaging. whilst i dislike Author Notes in general, i find myself unable to scroll past yours. Pet Peeves always make me smile. Hope you keep writing more wonderful stories, and that the rest of this holds up against such a clever first half. This chapter just makes me want to read more, an thankfully there is alot more to read. I'm very grateful that you two are the sort of Authors who post long chapters, as it feels more like an actual book. keep up the great work.
