    I know it's an unlikely crossover. Very unlikely. However, it's managed in a fairly logical way and it actually works. It is more fluffy than serious, and if I were the author, I might have listed it under comedy as well. The take on "The power He knows not" is funny, and I liked the way she explained the disparity between HPverse dragons and Elliott. It also has the distinction of being well-written, which is an even greater rarity for its category. 5/5 for being a well-written, and logical, if strange, crossover.

    It's a good, quick read. Nothing epic to be sure, but still enjoyable for what it was.

    4/5

    .....

    No offense, but the story looks like something I'd expect to find in the 'worst summery' section. I'll give it a shot, but frankly, don't expect a good score from me.

    Edit: Ya.... well on the plus side the story doesn't seem to have many spelling or punctuation problems. On the downside I really don't think this is the kind of story I particularly care to advocate. 2/5 for the effort though.

    Not bad at all. A nice, light read with very little conflict but some excellent writing. It kept me interested, and I liked how Voldemort got destroyed.

    4/5

    its a nice story, but honestly is this truly DLP material ?
    it's fluffy like the disney film, and it isn't badly written, but neither does it have a decent plot or anything really moving to get you involved with it.

    anyway, no rating from me, simply because i can't make up my mind... as i said its a nice fluff piece, but not what i look for on DLP

    Complete and not a one shot +1
    Decent Story, though a bit short, and well, it's crossed with Disney.. 3

    4/5

    Well written but I didn't exactly favor the idea itself. Grammar was fine, punctuation similarly fine but the crossover just rubbed me the wrong way. Light and Fluffy, a good 30 min read.

    3/5 For originality.

    Author also stated that he was looking into a Harry/Pirates crossover and a Harry/Narnia crossover. Somehow, I always imagined Harry finding his way into Narnia through the cupboard...

    This author is actually my source for logical crossovers, and she has the first chapter of a Narnia crossover up... And he's getting to Narnia the original way...
