I must say that this is my favourite story that you've written. I love that you always broaden the world J.K. created and make it so much cooler! Can't wait to read what you'll write next!

It better not be FINIS.
Do the plot justice and continue it!

Please continue this universe. It would be great to hear more about the bond between the three of them as well as what happens when they start to re-explore the mundane world.
Twenty years Cay time will be two hundred years for the rest of the world. That's when Harry said that they might be able to get back to the clinic. What will the life expectancy of mundanes be by that time. At the current rate of progress, if we down destroy ourselves or collapse the life span of the average person could be 120-150 years.
I could see Team Hooligan finding a son or daughter of Stephanie Weasley, who was raised on tales of magic and maybe shown magic by their mother and grandfather.
It could also be interesting to see just how much science and technology has advanced and how they residents of the Cay deal with it.
Thanks for this great new universe.

I want more - this is just fantastic. I really enjoyed this - it is a good starter for a whole realm!

You know, I just realised how bad my last review sounded.
Hah!
It was interesting. I liked it. It's not your usual stuff and I think the science went over my head at 7:00 in the morning but it was good.
Will we be attacked by more rabid plot bunnies? Or will the stories already described be awarded to those who waited patiently?
Keep writing,

Oooh, interesting! I wonder how long before muggle technology makes even Harry's magic seem tame?
I'm *really* looking forward to reading some more stories based on this premise.

Um....
Interesting?
I was really looking forward to that X-Men story... ;-)

I, for one, am looking forward to the spin-offs and tangents this can take. The initial creation of the laws, the attacks and punishments, even a PoV of Dumbledore trying to justify everything. Good heavens, even a one-shot of Snape in his cell would be delightful.
Thank you for a charming read, you two. It was quite, quite nice.

More please!

Another excellent story! The use of technology to end the wizarding world is pretty darn ironic. The avalon solution to their safety was pretty clever as well. I like the way Hermione dressed down Harry after that! The confession to Snape was a masterpiece as well. A story that I could reread a dozen times! Thanks for sharing, and hopefully more might be forthcoming.

Great story. I could see how this would spawn others too. I'd read them and love it.

Kind of depressing story honestly, but it does have a morbid sense of appeal. I mean, killing off all the magic? It's a death sentence to the merpeople, to the dragons and the griffins, to the unicorns and nifflers. Cool idea, but kind of cruel to anything not human, house elf, or goblin. Regardless, a good story that stands pretty well by itself.

You should go back and reread it. We clearly said the nanites only affect humans. All the other magical species would be left alone.

Nice little one shot. Not sure how well it would do with a sequel, since as someone mentioned, you'd be dealing with a 31st century set of humans. But I see you mentioned in a review response about having the sequel set 11 years earlier. So that would be ... 4 yrs after Voldemort's defeat? Hmm, seems it'd be a bit bleak, considering what has been said here.
I also note the minor similarities to Aerie22's story, as mentioned elsewhere. It is a challenging plot point for them to so sentence the entire world. It is implied, herein, that the rest of the magical world is no rosy place either.
That just gave me an idea... I wonder what it would be like if something like Luna's revenge actually went wrong. Like what if all the current magic population died suddenly, but it didn't affect the unborn. What a weird situation it would be for all these kids who start experiencing magic, but don't have an adult population to guide them or lead them to Hogwarts and teach them. Hmm... It would be kind of a post-apocalyptic story (for the magic world) set within a perfectly ordinary muggle world. Hmm, Hmm, Hmm.
best,

Wow. Quite possibly the best "Harry's Revenge" fic i've ever read.
I had to re-read the begining twice because i'm so used to fics that start with someone (especialy but not exclusivly Snape) coming to Azkaban to taunt Harry.
Anyway, great fic. I hope that it's not the end, though i look forward to some of your other anounced stories as well.

Wow, that was a great story. I mean really awesome. I do hope you continue with what happens after, like have the descendants of the people out there like Charlie's great great grandchildren or something like that. And how Harry and those with him come back and take back the Magical places like Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic and what they do. Maybe have this as a one-shot and then have another story of the sequel. But even if you don't, this was a great story, it actually shows what would have happened had all of Dumbledores manipulations actually had worked and he had gotten all the credit for the fall of Voldemort like people portray him in there Fan Fics. Anyways great story, great writing as always, can't wait to see what you do next.

I really enjoyed this story, and while it had a nice ending a sequel would be awesome!

After further consideraion, I have to say that this one reminds me, in some ways, of Aerie22's "All The Magic in the World" and I've some of the same concerns, here. Has the deseased British meme infected the whole wizarding world? If it hasn't, how can their action, as opposed to something drastic applied strictly to the British Isles be considered remotely moral? If it's the entire wizarding world after muggle-appreciating/muggle-born/non-pureblood wizards, such a retaliation is appropriate but otherwise a more geographically restricted action would seem the moral course. Mind you, such a restricted action would likely be rather more complex, but I can see some definite approaches that could be taken.

I always like pos-hogwarts stories and you offer an interesting, sad and a bit scary vision. The option to persecute non-pure-bloods was just a stupid one or someone really thought it through? I didn't get it if it was Dumbledore that decided to do it or it was a response of the closet-in bigots.
It seems that you got in love with the Harry/Hermione pairing after all. I must confess that this is one of the pairs that I liked least because I think Harry needs fun and less rules in his life than what Hermione would provide. And it's interesting also how some people stayed behind after all, like Neville and Kingsley.
It will be really nice to see some more of this universe.

OOOh! I love it. I wish there was more to it, some of the things there were just mentioned deserved a bit more... not explaining. How can I put this? developing?
Well, there were things I wanted to hear more about.
There! That is what I meant.
I love it. Harry was great on his revenge, (almost) nobody got killed and the Wizarding World has paid for its crimes.
This was great. Good Work.
