    I agree with this. I really hope none of the other characters get shoehorned into this as well. Sirius was a nice and understandable surprise. Justin is such a minor character that I usually forget that he isn't an OC in most HP fanfiction. My biggest hope is none of the other characters are added to the main cast in this story. I mean, I'd understand if you saw Ron or Hermione in passing and all that but I don't really want them to be in the main focus of the story.

    An X-men crossover that's good? I read the whole thing (so far), and I still don't believe it. 5/5

    Nice call I honestly didn't see that one coming.

    EDIT: I just reread the last chapter, did anyone else notice that the newscaster is one of the old James Bond actors.

    And now Hermione has appeared and will probably become a major character. I'm with Howdy. The author should've stopped trying to shoehorn in HP characters. It pulls me out of the world and it doesn't help the story.

    This is weird, I just re-read the story like 3 days ago.

    It seems like its the muggle-borns that are mutants.

    I liked it. It's a crossover, and giving equal attention to each world's characters is important.

    In most cases I'd agree with you not giving equal attention to each world characters is why a lot of decently written crossovers fail at the end. However in this story we have too characters from one world leaving their own world and entering the world where the the story is taking place. So while I still love the story, hell I still give it a 5/5 I do think the author needs to be careful with randomly throwing Hp characters into this story.
