    Quite a good story starts out a little rough but overall it turns good, not much action now but it seems like it's about to get interesting. I suggest reading it for sure.

    It'd make a pretty good sitcom.

    Its ok I guess... It moves way to fast for my liking and there isn't any page breaks when the scenes change it kinda just flows through in an unnatural kind of way.

    it could get better though in only in chapter 2.

    18 Chapters in and the story is just really beginning. Other than that I like it so far. Though like I said 18 chapters in and the story is really just beginning. So I still don't know what direction the story is trying to go in.

    Something that is bugging me though, is a lot of the names that the author is dropping. Not sure if they are OC's or people that I just over looked reading the books.

    I'll give it a tentative 4/5 if nothing more than it seems to be the most decent (believable?) HONKS!!! fic that I have read in a good while. Though I withhold final judgement until I can see how the story is going to turn out.

    the plot seems... I dunno, tired somehow. Harry is an extraordinarily powerful hit wizard who has been personally trained by Dumbledore. Has perfect moral code, and is good friends with all the people in power except Umbridge who is somehow still on the wizengaumet. (which harry turned down a position on as he didn't think he knew enough even though he's a natural prodigy.)

    Decent I suppose, but there's no real rise or fall to the plot, and harry has no opponents worth mentioning for at least the first half of the story. I couldn't focus on it anymore after that....

    2.5/5
    No re-read value, and little to keep your interest the first time through.
