As far as I'm aware this hasn't been posted before.

It's a powerful and independent Harry story, Harry's original universe is not canon therefore he is significantly more powerful than canon Harry. It was influence by Silveraegis' Shadow Mage story that he discontinued.

Truthfully I think this story is utterly Brilliant, I had originally thought that Harry being in possession of a wand that could shift into a hammer capable of manipulating lightning would be...absurd...ridiculous but it isn't. Somehow he's pulled it off and I'm impatiently waiting for an update; updates that used to occur every three days.

Whilst the story of Harry being thrown into another dimension where his parents are alive and he has siblings has been done before, this author has taken a slightly different take, such as the inclusion of Norse magic and a different upbringing, whereby he was educated by Dumbledore and the Flamels.

Nonetheless there is some humor present this, for example, really made me laugh:

"Now, I think we all know why we're here…"

Harry looked around, taking in the massive crowd in the headmaster's office. Dumbledore himself was there of course, along with the four heads of house, his parents, the Longbottoms, the Greengrasses, the Grangers, Hermione, Daphne, and Su. So much for keeping the exact details of his secret limited to a select few. When nobody in the crowd answered the headmaster's question, though, Harry took it upon himself to break the ice.

"Oh! Is it to sample your candy collection? I hear you're quite an

aficionado." Pausing, he grinned and gave Su a thumbs up.

"Hey, you were right. That Word-a-Day calendar of yours does come in handy."

That earned him a few snickers, along with an outright laugh from the headmaster. Dumbledore pulled out a tin of lemon drops, offering one to Harry before taking one for himself as well. "Now that we've taken care of that… perhaps you would like to tell us where that most interesting weapon of yours came from, and how you came to defeat three fully-grown mountain trolls?"

"Long story short?" Harry held up the axe, letting it shrink back down into the wand he normally carried. "I'm sure you've all heard stories about Thor and Mjolnir. This is his daughter Þrúðr's wand, Rensaren. It was left with the Ollivander family many centuries ago to wait for a new owner. When I went in for my want this summer… it picked me."

Frank Longbottom was out of his chair like a shot. "That's a historical magical artifact on the German Ministry's class one returns list. And all this time it's been sitting in Diagon Alley in a box?" Shaking his head, he reached forward and patted Harry on the head condescendingly before grabbing for the wand. "Well, thank you for finding such an important artifact for us, Potter. I'm sure the Germans will be very thankful."

As soon as the man's fingers curled around Harry's wand, the metal tendrils wrapped around the wood glowed an angry red. With a pain-filled hiss, Longbottom yanked his hand back, glaring at a smirking Harry. "I think you're forgetting whose wand it is, Mister Longbottom. The wand chooses the wizard, and it chose me. It stays with me."

"Besides, I bet you wouldn't be all for it to be returned to Germany if your fat lump of a son had Þrúðr's wand, now would you?" The Longbottoms' silence was all his father needed, sneering at the pair. "Reminds me, where was our vaunted Boy-Who-Lived during tonight's fun? Oh, that's right, didn't someone find him all the way down in Hogsmeade hiding behind the Three Broomsticks? Couldn't you have at least trained him to run to a floo and summon aurors?"

Holding up one hand, Dumbledore brought the argument to a halt. "Now now. Young Mister Longbottom's actions or lack thereof are not in question at the moment, although perhaps in the future we should consider educating all the students on how to properly handle emergencies. No, I am still quite curious about Harry's victory this evening. While Rensaren was rumored to have many properties… Harry, you're only a first year. While your professors have quite enthusiastically complimented your abilities on several occasions… this is far beyond even NEWT level material. How did you manage such an incredible feat?"

Harry almost resisted the urge… but this was too good an opportunity to pass up. Although the bit about the teachers discussing his abilities was something he filed away for later; evidently, he'd have to start pulling back a bit more.

"Why it's quite simple, headmaster." He leaned forward, the aged wizard moving in likewise. Harry lowered his voice to whisper conspiratorially. "Magic."

In addition to this the impression that there could be major changes to the canon storyline has me intrigued as many 'Harry thrown into alternate dimension' stories seem to regurgitate the canon with minor changes

Overall a 4.5/5

Correct me if I am wrong, but is this not a remake of one SilveAegis stories? An all powerful wand doesn't really make the story any different from cannon, after all the HP had the Elder Wand. The characterization of Harry is somewhat lacking in many places, I mean he is supposed to be what 17? 18?, his actions neither reveal his maturity nor do they reveal his power. I can understand that he is trying to 'blend in' but doing so would makes him seem incompetent.

The scene with the Sorting hat "can you please lower your occulemancy shields" doesn't make sense, even if the Sorting Hat couldn't find Harry's inner thoughts it should still be able to speak within Harry's mind.

Finally, what's the deal with marriage contracts? Sending out contracts at 11, what kind of society is that? I mean it would be sensible if the daughter's parents send out their contracts when the possible groom is at least 16 or 17 but 11?. 2/5 only because its has a sensible hook point.
