Woo! Brilliant!
Only Luna could come up with such a plan. I've seen this basic story idea used in various forms on various archives but this is one of the best realisations of that idea.
What makes it particularly good? Harry hasn't gone Dark. He has chosen to enact a deadly and horrible revenge but regrets every bit of pain and death that it has caused. He has really worked out the difference between "easy" and "right".
And, as many writers have foretold, the phrase "for the greater good" finally returned to haunt Dumbledore to his dying day. I am also glad that Snape appreciated the brilliance of Harry, Luna and Hermione's scheme.

Finis ? I don't think so... You can't finish it there... There is so much more to tell about this universe. This is only the beginning of something as great as the other stories you wrote :-)
Beside, more stories from you means more hilarious disclaimer... Although, there was no blood in this one ;-)
I can only hope that your rabid plot bunny will cause some more damages in the future. And don't you try to shoot it down. I've never seen a more productive rabid plot bunny :-)
Thanks for the good work and continue with it...

wow wow ... nice, very nice ... You really opened up possibilities here ... you were not exagerating when you wrote that you had opened up a new universe. I hope someone will take advantage of it.

IT BETTER BLOODY NOT BE!!
That was excellent! The punishment was precise, specific and totally ruthless. Brilliant!
Please write more in this AUverse.

Me again.
I thought of one fairly major quibble after I left my last review. All the negative, post-war anti-muggle backlash is being committed by the British Ministry for Magic, but Harry and company are taking vengeance on the whole Wizarding world. Some explanation needs to be made as to why every witch and wizard the world over has to pay for the sins of a single magical community, and not a very large one either in terms of land mass or population.
Now, if post-Voldemort the International Confederation of Wizards passed new laws to 'keep another Dark Lord from rising', and Wizard Ministries all over the world adopted them, that would be different, but that's not explained in the story as it stands.

I like the idea, but to continue? there is no adversity left.

...nerf herders....NERF HERDERS?!?!?! Of all the things you could throw in there... I almost choked when I read that.
Anyways, a good read, and an interesting end (or is that beginning?) to the story. Reminds me a bit of The Quiet Place by Ruskbyte.

Oh, wonderful! Glorious Bobmin brand story. About time those bigots started reaping what they sow. Sad, but wonderful. Loved the Avalon equations - I so hope you'll post another not-so-very-stand-alone, as I'd love to see Harry & the Gang rebuild magic society. A thousand years from now... Sci Fi Fantasy.
Luna's omniscience, coupled with her complete lack of linear thinking is rather endearing.
And Harry is a gem, as always.
Thanks!

Oh wow! Another terrific story from two of the greatest authors ever to write fanfiction, bit dramatic isn't it?
Well I have to say that I enjoyed this story and hope that you continue with this to see where it leads. I just loved the part Harry James Potter, Big Kahuna of Norman's Cay and official Luau Starter, keeper of the Pretty Seashells, what No Order of Merlin - First Class?
Loved it. keep going with this story - Please..

Poor old Charlie...always bets on the wrong horse. He did it in Sunrise, and he did it again. I've spoken my piece about DD before, and my opinion hasn't changed. My opinion of harry HAS changed though...good on him! Wizards seems to be like children, and if you can't reason with them, you take their toys away. If you continue this, great...if not, it was the perfect one shot; complete from start to finish.

AS always, count on you for a wicked read! Not sure where you would take this from here; somehow I think it deserves to stand as it is ... Thanks!
