Hey guys thought I'd let you know how much I enjoyed this chapter. I thought the bit about the Dursley's was extremely brilliant although I would have enjoyed reading about them being thrown out on their fat/bony asses. Its a thrill that I can only now fantasize about unless you decide to do it later after they can no longer afford living expenses and make me an extremely happy girl. Oh, and Alex, I happen to love the way you do AN. Tell Bob that and to put a sock it it (or incert cruel punishment of choice). I think its hilarious and I give props to both of you.

Huh. This looks like an interesting story. I'm curious to see how it's going to turn out. I loved Sunset and Sunrise, so when I saw this, I was very excited. Thank you for continuing to write :D.

Hi,
Just read your story and I have to say that it is nicely written and well thought out. I like how you are building Harry and Hermionie's relationship slowly and not doing what most fan fiction authors do; which is to make them immediately fall deep in love at the age of about 14.
But I have one question; did you intentionally put in that bit about Voldemort being killed y Nagini to ruin the whole plot point about Harry's magic in chapter 1? I am not trying to say that it was a bad point. It was just something that gave it right away for me and I was wondering if that was you intention in that chapter to put small clues that might be caught by some readers.
Keep up the good work and have a great holiday

Love the story plot so far. Although you really hate Ron and Dumbledore don't you? I also see you have a thing with transporters (portals/doors). But that's ok, I like conistancy from my favorite authors. I also like your disclaimers, I see you've moved on to abusing Alex, Snape and Dumbledore were getting a tad bit messed up. ;)

Very good, though i dislike the whole comparison between harry and james. Not your faul anyway, it's just that i have seen it too much.

Now you've done it. I read another story where Hermione's parents appeared once and I wondered why their names weren't Dan and Emma...
Well now on to the important part of th review:
This is an interesting start and I liked it a lot.
I thought it was especially funny for Dumbledore to survive the "Lemon Drop incident" only to be hit by a bus and then run over by a lorry.
I like your style of writing, it is quite fun to read and I can't wait for more.

What I am having problem understanding is the reason Dumbledore escape prison, all his action was under the title of Chief Warlock. What are you saying that all warlock before and After Dumbledore are thief's and dishonest, In my option that Dumbledore cross the line and he was not stealing in line of his job but for himself. So him not going to prison was lame excuses, for me that I would think that who ever become chief warlock is going be scum

That's a lot to happen in chapter one. Bloody good job. Pat your self on the backside and all that. Or your partner's backside, whichever s/he prefers.

This is one hell of a storyline. Yes, this chapter could stand on it's own, but more is always welcome. Just keep the scale down, please? There is no need to make the chapters progressively grander.

Cute first chapter and taking a similar vein to my own story. Harry finally standing up and saying "no" while essentially airing all of Bumblebore's dirty laundry in the press. The dirtiest of course being Harry's home life forced upon him by Dumbledork. I'm certain the wizarding world wouldn't be too thrilled to learn that Dumb-as-a-door put their, then infant, savior in the home of abusive muggles who raised him worse than a Malfoy treats their house elves.

OK, I like it but I have one complaint. I think that this chapter is more of an overview that could just as easily spanned quite a few chapters, and given much more detail. With it in this layout, however, it's rushed and comes at you hard and a little justifiably ironic. I hope that you have this story laid out and I hope that there will be much more to it than what you've covered so far. I'm curious as to whether you'll follow the same line of thought with Sunset/Sunrise as far as pairings go. Also, what to do with Ron. He didn't have his opportunity to be jealous, having nipped that one in the bud. Ginny, on the other hand still has said opportunity, having the crush and all.
Off to the next chapter.

This would be a good one shot. I hope that it is not just 2 chapters.
How is Harry going to discover horcruxes if DoubleDumb took the information to his grave? What would be nice is if Moldie really lost his magic and would be no more than a wraith for all eternity, without the magic to affect the world around him. Who has to defeat/vanguish a powerless wraith?

And wow.
Really, really wow - and this is only the first chapter?
How much more are we looking at?
Looking forward to more ...

PS...
Ooops, I maybe should have mentioned that I am currently reading one of the longest and best stories I have ever read. Yes Bobmin, it is in fact, Sunset and Sunrise over Britain. A work of true ART.

Good grief Bobmin, Don't get your nickers in a twist over my statement of yet another H/Hr pairing. I ment no insult to you. As it happens, the last 12 stories I have read were all H/Hr and almost identical as there is only so many ways one can write this pairing. Having said that, I so very much enjoy your stories, no matter what pairing there is as you have a writing style and ability that I envy very much. Also, I might add that your pairings are the most believable of almost all that I read. It was just at that moment my thoughts were on someone writing something so very different than I have been reading. Your stories interest me simply because they are most different from the usual and of all the H/Hr pairings that I have read, I prefer your versions of that and that is why I sigh at the summery of yet another H/Hr but read it because you always have a unique take on this. Sorry if you felt offended by my comment. I have written the start to a new story that will not have any permanent pairing and does indeed have a very independent Harry in charge. As you had suggested, if I want a story like that I will likely have to write it myself. LOL
Please, I would go nutz without my BOBMIN injection to perk me up so don't through me out because I inadvertently twisted your nickers. LOL
