While the premise in the first chapter is interesting, I feel it would be more interesting to stay with it and explore the cosmic horror instead of just using it to justify Voldemort's madness and immediately killing him off to jump into some poorly conceived bureaucratic logs.

The tone of the story just doesn't match HP in any way for me and feels more like Men in Black with the characters replaced, which may be interesting in exploring the Department of Mysteries, but feels completely out of place here.

2/5 for me, I just don't see this being improved in any way to make it more enjoyable, short of making it a graphic novel in the style of MiB
