Overall the story was quite good. I did however see a few things. First off, the large unrelated text before/after the chapters seems distracting from the real story.

Second, I believe somewhere in the story you have the reason for the focus rings being a lack of wood. That seems quite odd to me, given that a wand is potentially a once in a lifetime purchase that uses very little wood. You could important all the wood for wands for an entire country and not notice it. Of course, they could have used a focus ring just because that is what they always did, and saw no reason to change.

Thirdly, I think you have a few times in the story where wouldn't couldn't be completely healed in the wizarding world. I find that quite odd, since if you can regrow bones and heal everything else, why would it be impossible to heal injuries like Tonks had?

Finally, while the story is sound it is not really a story about defeating Voldemort, since you could kind of sense that the tables had turned very early into the story. In general I'd tend to call Harry and Hermione's characterisations as overly perfect, as was the path up to the defeat of Voldemort. Somehow, I'd think the defeat of the scourge of the wizarding world should not go off quite so much like clockwork. I suppose that in the end it seemed to be a story about a plan coming together..

Thanks for sharing your story...

i really enjoyed your twist on Harry's years, enjoyed the romance, which was very smoothly employed!! Dumbledore's ending has to be one of the more amusing one's i've read! Thanks again, until next time.

Most stories follow 4th year canon and have Harry take it on faith that he has to be a champion and do his best.

I've read a story where he tried not to participate and had the magic force him to do so.

I've read a story where Harry rebelled and gave a token 4th year level effort in competing.

This is the only story I've read where he successfully refused to participate and took the consequences.

Its prompted me to think of several alternate ways that could go. I'll have to keep an eye out for other stories that do this.

After that start the story is pretty much AU, but fits well in the HP universe.

Well written, imaginative, and a very enjoyable read.

Thanks.

Great fic! It took me all day to finish and I loved it. You are both awesome the authors note and disclaimers cracked me up. Keep up the great job!

Your story was absolutely amazing. It made me laugh hundreds of times and the quibbler articles were some interesting... stuff.

Alyx- First, love your Author's notes, they were much more enjoyable than Bob's. Made me laugh too. I would also like to know what's wrong with putting a U in colour, that's how I have been spelling it my whole life (in New Zealand though)

Keep Writing, I love most of your stories. (Especially Dumbledores Army on FF.Net)

Another great story. I'm rather fond of the way Trelawney's prophecy is interpreted in your stories. Your take on the prejudices and conceit of the British wizarding world is an interesting one, and I found myself making comparisons to several imperialist nations in the modern age.

Fun story to read. Very different from other Harry Potter stories. Disclaimers and ANs are always fun to read.

Can I be your minion, too, Alex? Being your minion sounds like FUN!! (by the way, I am female.)

Honestly you guys should be sued. I was late for work 2 freacking days in a row due to the incredibly addictive writing you guys do.

My boss wasn't happy. =(

PS.: I showed him the realm of fanfiction 2 days ago. He's yet to come back to work. I ´d offer you guys a bribe but honestly,I live too far away for the bribe to arrive in a useful state. And yes I live pretty close to the Llama country, I live THAT FAR.

~Goes to read more fanfiction while surreptitiosly pretending to work~

Well done! It's 4:30 in the morning and I couldn't quit reading until I finished it. The disclaimers tend to make me shake my head as I smile. I really enjoyed it. Thanks!

Hey, you've written a brilliant story here, with lots of laughs and a very satisfying ending. Gotta love the disclaimers and notes, too - they were hilarious.
Alyx, I should probably inform you that Kiri wants to be a minion as long as you don't brand/bikini wax her or anything. Though she will consent to wearing a playboy bunny suit (please say no... she's bad enough as it is...)
Your characters were superb - the prank wars were definitely something I could see Sirius doing, and the fighty-ish scenes you did were well-scripted as well. All in all, a fantastic read! Thanks!

Thank you for a great read, I've read most of your stuff and from the intro to the outro you always leave me panting for more (calm down lad, calm down!!!)
