    Summary :Dumbledore's portrait wakes up at last to have one final chat with Harry. In order to aid the teen in his quest to destroy the Horcruxes, Dumbledore transfers his knowledge, wisdom, and experience. This chat will have unforeseen consequences in the war.

    Basically Harry undergoes a Ritual where he absorbes all of Dumbles memories and knowledge. The Fic is quite good and the Author has many interesting ideas , and the best part for me : Muggles are inferior ;]

    Quote : Harry twirled his wand, drawing their attention to it. “With this wand, this single wand alone, I can destroy Muggle London—and nothing you can do could stop me. Would you fire your guns at me? I could create a ward that would turn every bullet into a lovely flower. Would you direct your missiles in my direction? I would’ve been warned long before because of my proximity wards and Disapparated instantaneously to a location hundreds of meters from where I had previously been. Would you attempt to overwhelm me with numbers alone? With two words I could kill a man—now allow me to ask, how long do you think it’ll take to whisper two words over and over again to destroy a battalion of hundreds of soldiers? Not too long, sirs, not too long. All the while I would have a magical shields that would protect me from any lucky shot, dragonhide clothing to protect me from those that manage to get through the cloak—and a single wave of my wand to heal anything truly powerful enough to damage my person.

    “Would you hide within your mighty structures of concrete and metal? I could Apparate through walls, I could conjure a fire so fierce it would burn water, let alone melt metal; I could send a storm so powerful it would blow your walls down, or I could transfigure cement into sand and metal into straw. I could drop the earth beneath your feet, call lightning out from the sky, summon the ocean in the middle of your city, or put your nation to sweet sleep. Would you believe your hiding would save you? I have spells that could search whomever I wanted, wherever they may be. You will have no where to hide, to shelter, to cower from my might and power.” Harry leaned back into his seat and stopped twirling his wand. “I may not be able to destroy Muggle London in a single day, or even perhaps a week, but if I direct my wand and my magic to her destruction, in the end, she will fall.”




    EDIT : SORRY FOR DOUBLE POSTING , DIDN'T SEE THE FIC IN THE STORIES , ONLY LATER ON IN THE CHALLENGES ;/

    How about a link? Anyway, this story is listed in WBA forum DLP Work by Author link and the FF.net link.

    Excellent story, great writing. As those who haven't seen the WBA thread (I can't imagine there are many) for this will find it is very popular with the crowd here.


    SPOILER

    Only reservation I have is that in the outstanding characterization of Dumbledore we lose sight of Harry Potter. It seems more of a take over, than a merging. /SPOILER

    Still over all a 5/5. Don't forget your other story Taliath. :)

    Since this is in the for review column, here is my oppinion. I find the story short but interesting. The ritual to absorb Dumbledores memories is a new one, usually people absorb Voldemorts. I do find it a tad creepy that Harry sounds like Dumbledore. It's pretty well written and few errors. I give it a 4/5

    by far my favorite story atm. Honestly the reason i like it is because Harry is no longer Harry, he's Dumbledore. 90 percent of the time harry becomes an ass/dark/independent/arrogant/ect to beat Voldemort. This story shows Harry as a still very light and noble wizard, but a bad ass at the same time without making him come across as a bad ass. I guess i just really like dumbledores character, and put on Harry its 100x better.

    Uh...this one has been a DLP favorite for quite a lot of time considering that the author is quite well known here. From now post your reviews in the main thread if you will.

    Review section isnt for people to review old stories. It's so members can bring unknown ones to everybody's notice.

    I think a MODERATOR should judge if this should be here, the FWG thread was a submission thread for the judges/contestants - not a discussion thread for the fic. Lots of fics are in both the Work by Author section and the Library...so I would think if it isn't already in the Library, this is the main thread.

    That said, this is a great story and I'm eagerly awaiting the next update, I do think that Scrimgeour's antics in the last couple of chapters were a little childish and OOC. 5/5

    Indeed. As you guessed, this thread is perfectly fine as it is not in the main library.

    Well I think this story should be moved to the library. It is darn great.

    The concept of the story is excellent and Taliath's writing style is magnificent. Harry's and Dumbledore's characters are mixed so smoothly. I eagerly wait for all the updates of this story. 4.5/5

    Yeah, this story is great. One of my favorites. I didn't noticed I hadn't posted here until now. I had to fix that.

    Great work with this story, man.
