This story, like so many of your others, is amazing. The plot-line is so intricate and involved it's almost boggling, and the thought that must have gone into it is just incredible. I loved the romance between Harry and Hermione; it wasn't rushed, it wasn't 'shag-like-bunnies' as soon as they decided to pursue a sexual relationship, and it is loving - something which appeals to a romantic like myself.
I particularly liked the Ron and Dumbledore bashing, the Molly bashing wasn't half bad either, and now that the former is dead, and the latter really doesn't have the power to do anything, I find myself wondering what the old man plans on doing.
I do find myself slightly hacked off with Harry's crippled leg, you know, being powerful and awesome and all of that jazz, but perhaps that will change in the sequel? I'll find out when I immediately move onto 'Sunrise Over Britain' after posting this review.
This really is a fantastic read; it's on-the-edge-of-your-seat stuff, and the authors notes I've always found hilariously funny. I must confess that I am one of the people that must hackle your pet peeves, and so I've re-evaluated my writing-morals - so kudos for you changing that for me.
One day I hope that I'll find a woman who shares the same passion for writing and fanfiction that I do, but until then perhaps I'll use the two of you for role-models ;-)
And by the way, when I finished this story and then saw it was around three hundred and fifty thousand'ish words I congratulated you...and then promptly fell asleep because I read it all in one sitting. When I saw that the sequel was almost twice the length...well suffice to say I cursed to high heaven, and then praised the powers that be that I would be stuck, obsessively reading a fantastic piece of work.

Love the story, can't wait to get started on the sequel but I have a question. Where the heck is Charlie?

Well first I find it hard to believe that Lucius or any of the death eaters know enough about the muggle world to sabotage 1 airplane let alone that many. And that law wouldn't effect Harry unless it had a specific retroactive clause.

I highly doubt that the spider venom is more deadly than the basilisk venon in his blood

While I realize that this is already finished in the authors note you answered a review. How long will Millicent chase Snape? Perhaps I am reading a different story because I thought you had her chasing Ron?

this story has been brilliant so far and the suspense is killing me, don't usually get that from most fanfictions, shows skill in the writer(s) and i'v got to mention the disclaimers, ahh the disclaimers , never have i seen disclaimers done like this , there masterful and filled with humour, better than the drab(we own nothing) approach most fic writers take, keep up the amazing work you two ;)

Have to say guys loving the story so far, looking forward to see how it plays out .
p.s. i love the disclaimers, normally authors put the same boring old stuff, i like how you've made them like miny storys etc... :-D

I do love your style of writing. An intriguing mix of angst and adventure with a healthy drop of humour :)

While I agree with you that people who write fan fic for reviews only need not bother, I do think that if you write well, you are entitled to being told exactly that. Hence this review.
The first chapter gives a good view on the starting situation for this fic. It whets the reader's interest and I feel strongly compelled to stop reviewing now so I can turn to the next chapter. Good job so far :D

So far I am loving Sunset Over Britain. I am a major fanfiction fan- largely due to in the cannon Harry being made out to be quite a bit of an idiot (I mean honestly- Mrs. Weasley loudly asking what the platform number is in book 1 when she has had 2 children graduate and another to attending). Also I completely agree with your petpeeve for the chapter Alligators in the Classroom. I lost count of how many fanfics I have read over the last 2 years that is listed as "English" and sound really good in the summary, however when you actually read the story the language is so badly damaged to the point where you have to read and re-read one single 5 word sentence about 30 times before you get the jest of it. That kind of damage is caused either by a non-english speaker with no grasp of the language or someone who is severly drunk. In the former case: the situation can be solved with-like you said- an native english speaker as a beta; in the later case: the writer should not be writing until sober.

Ok, so I've been re-reading the Sunrise/Sunset stories...and I know this has absolutely nothing to do with your story (which I love...it's just as good the 2nd time around!), but I saw this today and immediately thought of you two.

I hope the link works and that you find it at least a little amusing.
Cheers!

Huh - a known Deatheater casts a potentially lethal spell at Rupin and Tonks response is to cast Stupify. And "the good guys" wonder why they are losing. Utter morons.
