Mixed emotions. HAPPY to have another chapter to read in a WONDERFUL story. Very sad that it is the LAST chapter of a WONDERFUL story. ABSOLUTELY GREAT STORY. I was pleased to read that ya'll have started on other stories. Can't wait!

An outstanding finish to an outstanding story. You two truly are a credit to the fanficauthors.net community. I don't know what to say but thank you for an outstanding story, and a far better follow up to OOTP than HBP was. I eagerly look forward to your next project.

1573. That is what Word is telling me the page count is. And that is just story, not Disclaimer or ANs. And quite a wonderful 1573 pgs it was. Thank You.

Thank you. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading these stories. Y'all have a wicked sense of humor. I will say I think your disclaimers could earn a higher rating(R vs NC17)than the story itself. One editing note for future stories: in the UK "pants" are underwear. Most people go out in public in trousers or jeans. Thanks again, Sara

Thank you. It's been an incredible journey. One I've had mixed feelings for, especially the earlier parts, but nevertheless was unable to leave alone. This ending was wonderful. Draco showing Millicent the support she now has, was really nice. And Hermione telling Amelia what she was doing to Harry. Tons of other stuff, too. I just can't continue quoting or I'd end up writing The Longest Review Ever, and I won't do it. Neither to you nor me. Suffice to say I found this a perfect ending to a great, epic story.

Cheers!

Awesome story, one of the few that I actually liked Draco as a good guy in. Definately looking forward to anything new that comes out of your...warped minds :)

Wondeful story and series, very much appreciated. Look forward to your next foray - whatever it is.

I did not print it out but I pasted it into a Word file (to convert to Mobipocket format to read on the iPAQ). Printed on A4 format with 12pt Courier New font it would be 1'218 pages. That's the longest single FF I ever read. Sunset is 652 pages, so together they are 1'870 pages of great reading.

I did not yet read the last chapter, so expect a comment on it later.

I think that was the best disclaimer yet. And of course I loved the t-shirts. Altogether, a very satisfying epilogue, and I must say, one of the most brilliant HP fanfics I've read.

Thanks.

I almost can't believe that this is finished, it has been a consistently good story, well written with equal parts of fun and drama, with characters not making it, and others having a happy ending,which I'm glad Harry got here, heaven knows he deserves it in canon. Just a great story indeed.

One question; regarding the Hogwarts Express, why didn't they simply use the Restituto is res spell, which was used so widely by the Weasley twins in the previous story? If it can put the Rosetta Stone and the H.M.S. Victory back together (whether all the pieces are there or not), why couldn't they have used it on the Express? Heck, with Harry's power level, it's likely that if he'd cast it, it would have restored not only both trains, but the station! ^_^;

Anyway, good story, sorry to see it over, hurry up with your next epic! :)

We didn't show the actual reconstruction but that would be one of the spells they would use. The problem was that you still had to separate the two trains before you start fixing them.

*sigh* over now... I enjoyed this thought HHr isn't a pairing I ususally appreciate. It was cute with the triplets (especially with two metamorphs and the other a beastmorph [or whatever you wanna call it]), and I would have liked to see some more children of Harry and Hermione. *sniffle.* Goodbye sun...

On a different note, H/Xmen? Not something I usually agree with, but it has possibilities. I always wanted to find one where Lily and James were actually Jean and Scott, but I have had no luck so far. :)

Brilliant! Congratulations on such a terrific epic! "APPLAUSE"

BTW, in answer to your print question, LOTR is around half a million words, just a thought....!

Wow! So, it is all over at last!

I haven't reviewed Sunrise as often as I could. Mostly because the chapters are so long. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but I have been a bit busy in RL so I haven't been able to read them thoroughly enough so as to give them a decent review. However, I thought, in celebration of the end of this epic tale, I should give a final review.

Bob and Alyx, you are brilliant writers. Your story is involving enough to always keep me coming back. You managed to keep the various characters recognisable as their canon selves and you managed to create an immersive plot line. This deserves to be considered one of the definative epic-length Harry Potter fan works along with madscientist's "Lions of Gryffindor" trilogy over on Portkey and Chem Prof's "Soul Searching/End Game" two-parter.

Negatives? Well, I found the middle of this story dragged on a bit much and didn't really seem to have too much happening (to the point where I actually stopped reading for a few chapters). It is a tribute to the fundamental qualities of this work that you tempted me back.

There is one unanswered question (as far as I know). What happened to Molly? I was hoping that they would find a body if nothing else.

Thanks for sharing this work with us, guys. I do hope that your muse remains strong and you are able to give us more of the same quality.

BenRG's Overall Rating: 9/10

I've been following this story and its predecessor since the beginning, and have thoroughly enjoyed every chapter. Thanks so much for posting it - and best of luck with whatever you choose to do next.

Congratulation on finishing the fic!

I will review properly when I finish reading it. :p

I already have a couple of chapters backlogged for this fic. :(
