Nice. I hope to see more. And if you are running out of ways to kill Voldy, you can use mine. I think the principle is not used that much.

Thank you,Bob.One more well written chapter.A pleasure to read.
Considering your note.With respect and no offense intended i am afraid you limit your plotline choice by making your Voldie an all powerful wannabe dictator.According to canon he is a sociopathic loser who denies himself a chance to make a brilliant career and wastes his life among the criminal underground.His knowledge of the wizarding world thus is severely limited.I am sorry,a mighty dark lord who is ignorant of the basic prophecy retrieving procedure.No way.The only reason of his invincibility was JKR playing for the dark side.
So,maybe just take it easy and downgrade the conflict from the Sunset/Sunrise level.Wizarding Britain,even according to your plotline,is a third world country,something like Sudan.For a brilliant writer like you it is not that difficult to awe us,loyal readers,one more time.
Good luck and inspiration.

I agree. It's hard to keep up inventing new things and demises for Voldy. But I'll love to see more fics inline with Wizards Fall. There's much to tell about the world/universe after the fall of the last dark lord. If you go there, I'll be right behind you reading everything up.
Thanks for the great stories all around.

That's actually a good point about Voldy. He certainly does make it hard to wrote a good story.
Your writing is so good I'll follow the story irrespective of where you take it.

I'm not complaining about your stories. Just your loss of interest in this one lol. I say kill vultersnot quick and dirty, then go on to better things in this one. Or let voldy have an accident or something.

Great new chapter! You have kept the same flow, and feeling of the story even after a long break from it, but did anyone really expect less? I sure didn't.
On the topic of Voldie, really, if your bothered by him, kill him off quick. Hell, you could kill him off in the next chapter, along with a slew of DE and no one would really care because he's not even a minor focus of this story, so killem off and go on from there!
On the topics of refunds, I will admit that I am slightly disappointed that I never saw my 5 dollars go to the Suicide Bomber Retirement Fund for complaining about the last chapter. I mean really, those retired suicide bombers need to eat too!

Bah just kill of Voldemort with an overdose of fluffy llamas, its all he deserves to be fair. That said Naked Donuts delivery Service? How can a Donut be naked, I mean without the frosty sugar covering it's obviously no Donut anymore.

Great chapter.
It's a pity about the sluggishness of the updates, but I wholly agree with your Voldemort comment. It's one of the reasons why I started looking into cross-overs. It's just unfortunate that the majority of those just leave a sour taste in my mouth. (Too much focus on the events and cost of the characters).
I look forward to seeing what you come up with to break you out of the funk. Who knows, I still haven't read a story where Voldemort actually died that fateful Halloween night. Who's to say that Horcruxes actually work? Why haven't we heard about any other immortal dark wizards walking around?

I'd say why don't you just make a chapter defeating voldemort and his deatheaters and continue it as harry potter x-men(new mutant or what ever group you want him in) extrodinair.
o and btw i like your writing :D

Love the story and delighted to see an update. You seem to be merging the two universes quite well, and I'm greatly enjoying your efforts.
I agree, Voldemort is a has-been, and against competent and determined opposition he would never have arisen to be a serious threat, merely an unpleasant one, given the abilities and tools available to wizards. J.K. Rowling had to write the wizarding world as backward amd ineffectual as it is because a 'real' police force, even with only the spells and potions in the books, would have slapped his little terrorist group down the first or second time they stuck their noses out of doors.
I'm pretty much over Voldemort myself, so I find most interesting the stories which don't focus on the 'epic struggle' but instead the people and events. Several brilliant stories I've read have Voldemort exterminated within a chapter or so - some at the beginning, others the end of the story. The story itself focuses on everything else happening. Just because Rowling limited herself to that story arc doesn't mean you have to. Frankly, now that Harry's receiving a real education and has a growing level of access to magic-proof technology, Voldemort's demise is only a matter of time.
Looking forward to seeing more, as the inspiration strikes you!

if I may be so bold to suggest a solution for you, probably not for this fiction, but for another:
Have Dumbledore be the villain, he tricked the world into believing that he was the "good guy" and Tom is the actual "bastion of light," but the world has been either spelled not to notice or is blinded by their devotion to Albus.
Just a suggestion.
anyways, I enjoyed this chapter and everything else you have written in the past month and eagerly await anything that you grace us with in the future.

I love this story but I agree with you about killing Voldie. I find that anymore I like reading an HP story where Voldie is taken care of quick, leaving the rest of the story for the other more interesting characters. The less he appears the happier I am. But that does not mean that I love this story any less.

Hi Bob, Hi Alyx!
Thanks for another great chapter. =)
Re: Voldemort/Moldyshorts/Morty/(insert appropriate insult here) - Compared to a lot of the opponents the X-Men have faced, Morty's a 3rd stringer at best. It would be interesting if someone else would come in, stomp Morty out & Harry would end up facing up against them. Harry & Morty's prophecy isn't necessarily as binding as let's say the one from the Belgariad which gained sentience & started dumbledoring poor Belgarion around.
Then again, I've yet to complete either of the stories I'm working on, so maybe i should shut up while I'm ahead...

your world population estimate is off by about a billion, according to the UN the population of earth in 1990 was approx 5,290,452,000; in 1995 it was 5,713,073,000... other than that, great to see another update. Also glad you did those one shots :)
