Grr...Dumbledore makes me so angry. Harry should have vaporized him. =D Harry has an interesting dynamic w/ McGonagall and Flitwick, and I like how that is being explored.

I have to hand it to you.... you great writers have crafted a masterpiece..... though you superpower Harry, you still capture all his flaws and quirks... Many of your readers including myself look foward to the conclusion story to this masterpiece....

Thank You.

I started reading your wonderful story when it was posted on ff.net. After reading the first couple of chapters, I went and read both of you other stories, both of with have the same incredable writing style I came to love in this story. All I can say, you both deserve a much needed rest. I, for one, be be eagerly waiting on the next installment in this wonderful story.

Excellent wrap up to the first book. I'll be looking forward to the next one.

I thought the ending was nicely done, wrapping the the end of this section of the story and setting the stage for the next.

Just wanted to drop you a line and say I LOVED the story and can't wait for the next one. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for a great story and I look forward to the next installment,
Steve

I definitely like the musical aspect you have introduced into the Potterverse, mostly because it seems to be something Rowling has almost completely omitted. Leave it to Harry to become awesomely insane at it. =)

I like how you write this story almost like a movie, with the scenes shifting (sometimes rapidly) and the succinct imagery, which almost feels like a camera following the actors. I love this story!

MattD posted a comment on Tuesday 15th November 2005 2:47am

Grr...well I suppose if there's a super Harry he has to have some disadvantages, but that attack still really pissed me off. Oh well.

MattD posted a comment on Tuesday 15th November 2005 2:46am

This chapter is especially relevant for the story, becase as a reader you can almost feel the beginnings of the apocalyptic vibe that later chapters have. Another great installment =).

MattD posted a comment on Tuesday 15th November 2005 2:45am

The relationship between Harry and Hermione is very believable, and I commend you two for taking your time w/ it.

MattD posted a comment on Tuesday 15th November 2005 2:44am

Screw the uncanon-ness! Harry + Hermione is always intriguing if done right and personally, I think HBP is a travesty to the canon and shouldn't be included. There are so many things that JKR did wrong or did out of her own world that it took me several days to read the whole thing. I was extremely disappointed, and this fic provides a suitable 6th year =)

It's fun looking back and reading where the whole 'Brotherhood' started.

MattD posted a comment on Tuesday 15th November 2005 2:42am

Love it. The Matura is a great piece of fiction.

MattD posted a comment on Tuesday 15th November 2005 2:37am

Sweet story. Nothing much else I can say, beside the fact that it's well-written, captivating, and above all else, humorous and enjoyable as a stand-alone piece of work.

Kudos on your achievement,
Matt

Talk about ending with a bang, not a whimper! Several rather surprising things happen during this chapter:

1. Harry organizes the Hogwarts ghosts and poltergeist Peeves into a Prankster Force against the occupying Nibblers.

2. The French try to invervene in the British situation, but are rebuffed by the US.

3. We find out that *neither* Granger is a Muggle, or even a Squib; both are magical, but blocked. Harry knocks down their blocks, enabling them to be the wizard (Dan) and witch (Emma) they were supposed to be. (Both had Maturas close to that of their daughter (as opposed to Harry's record-buster).)

4. Harry finishes the Magical Fence, trapping Tom and Company inside the UK; unfortunately, they now have nearly complete autonomy within it for now.

Great job. I can't wait for the sequel.
I know from my reading experience that writing a convincing dark story is on a completely different scale of difficulty than to write a light-hearted fic, and you mastered that challenge in every respect! Congrats!!! :D

Wonderful Job. I followed SOB from beginning to end, and it has been a wonderful adventure!

Exceptional!
Keep up the awesome work and don't leave updating too long! However, don't rush it either. There's nothing worse than a rush job.
750 pages?! Bloody, hell, my first draft of my novel reached 160 max! (Of course now it's being rewritten, and perhaps I'll even get around to publishing it, but still...)
Keep up the incredible work. Really. And I think your ending Author's Notes are great. Although I'll confess to guilt of one or two of your pet peeves (more than one story at once, change of POV - although I always make that clear - lots of OCs - although I try not to make them Mary-Sues).
Lol, Tanydwr
