    This story cannot be a better read. I'm sure jumping through time endless times will change a person, so the character change in Harry is not out of place. This definitely is not Rowling's world of magic, but anything by Joe always is something else.

    I think a strong disclaimer is necessary for any of your stories, Joe. Something along the lines of "Prepare yourself for extreme epicness." -or- "250% more epic then anything you've read before."

    Is there something more epic then Joe's stories?

    I got the impression that this time, there's a few gods out to kill him, along with demons, and, as always, our favorite snake-obsessed madman, this time with some real potency.

    I'd say that all the other times didn't have the gods, at least. So you can hardly use all the other times as comparison.

    While a very nice chapter, upon further reflection, it probably would have been a good idea, for Harry to make a public appearance in Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley quickly after the estimated time of the assassination, as to create a larger scale alibi.

    Do you prefer chapter reviews on ff.net, or PC?

    I finally got off my ass and read this story. It's rather spectacular, and I am a tad jealous of your ability to spin a tale.

    Anyways, great chapter. I loved the description of international travel for Wizards and the description of New York City.

    Very good story. The only bad thing I can think of is slow pace, we are 7 months into the story (since 1st chapter was uploaded, anyway), 13 chapters, over 100k words, and yet, only three days passed in the story.
    Overall 4.5 / 5

    Excellent Joe, I really enjoyed it, as usual.

    One mistake I found, when talking to Mr. Blue, you typed 'legimens' instead of
    'legilimens'

    Other than that, fantastic.

    I'm looking forward to you finishing your exams. :p

    I noticed that too.


    As for the chapter, your writing continues to be fantastic, Joe. The only problem I really have is the same one I mentioned before - the pace is quite slow. However, that it being remedied, I'm certain, in the next couple chapters, so it's barely worth mentioning.

    Fleur being described as 'unattainable' is perhaps the most apt description of her possible. More so with your characterisation than others, certainly, but nonetheless accurate for Fleur in general.

    Looking forward to the other side of the exams.

    Pretty sure he mentioned in the WBA thread that the Legimens thing was purposeful, though I might be mistaken.

    this is one of the really good time travel fics.
    A bit depressing because of Harry not being the most powerful character.

    If you want to see a Super!Harry, go read his Hero trilogy.

    Also, Harry in here seems really powerful, most powerful? Who knows, but still damn powerful.

    Also, if you consider knowledge being power, then Harry is by far the most powerful mortal in the series.

    First of all; FIRST!

    Second of all; FUCK YEAH!

    Third of all; I'll read it tomorrow, I've had a shit day & it really is too late to read & absorb the awesomeness.

    I'll just say a simple Danke Joe & look forward to a kick-ass chapter.

    I loved this update.

    I think that Chronos just became my new favorite character in this story as well. He certainly does come off as spectacularly unhinged.

    The best thing about this story is that I have absolutely no idea where it's going. In most cases that's not a great thing because the story doesn't provide enough anticipation to keep me focused, but it works brilliantly for this story.

    As always, I'll be interested to see what happens next and look forward to being pleasantly surprised - again.

    This story just keeps progressing. You truly are a master of writing fics that are epic. I really can't wait for the next chapter. My one criticism is that Chronos is screaming Fuck. It seems to... juvenile for a so called elder god. I get the insanity bit, however I feel that he could be better portrayed by saying cryptic phrases like Harry does at points.
