DISCLAIMER - Not mine - is a great fic though. I was originally going to put this in the Azkaban!Harry, but it seems to fit here best as he isn't in Azkaban for long.

The old link didn't work any longer. I added a few working links with apparently slightly different copies of the story.

 

Its a good story. I don't really understand what the hell he's doing with the muggle intelligence agents though, much less devote like 3 or 4 chapters mostly to them.


It has a strong Harry well written, although suddenly making Snape in the same class, and Neville stronger then both of them currently physically hurts my brain.

 

Deleted from FF.net, can be found on her homepage now. Link to first chapter is:

I always thought this was a good story, not the best but good

4/5

 

Pretty much your average Azkaban fic, with the expected level of characterisation quality.

I found Harry way too sentimental in this, he gets tears in his eyes pretty much every chapter I've read yet, and we got an earth-quake when a portrait told him that Wormtail had been spying on Snape.

Super!Harry with Wandless abilities allowing the pathetic sheep to imprisoning him, instead of becoming a renegade, has always bothered me.

Snape's presence pretty much killed the Guilty Pleasure I could have derived from this thing.

The author is at least relatively competent.

3/5

 

This story is your average azkaban!Harry story. It doesn't manage to avoid any of the cliques of this type of story. It has a super powered Harry (complete with wandless magic and special powers), a shopping spree, a sentimental Harry, and a Snape mentor. It's decently written and the grammar hasn't bothered me. There are a couple of awkwardly worded sentences but nothing major. Overall it's not a bad story and it has held my attention. For a guilty pleasure story I'll give it a 3/5.

 

Keep in mind it was written in 2005, BelleOwl.

As for the story, it's okay. The writing is good, it's just riddled with clichés. Which weren't clichés at the time of writing. HP fanfiction has evolved, and that's why that fic hasn't aged all that well.

3/5
