    Title: Know Thyself: The Prelude
    Rating: T for Teen
    Author: hoshi-tachi
    Genre: Sci-fi/Adventure
    DLP Genre: The Alternates
    Summary: HP and Matrix crossover. What if Neo wasn't the One...what if the One was a little boy with green eyes...? AU, warnings for child abuse and violence. Complete

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1607730/1/Know_Thyself_the_Prelude

    This is a crossover with The Matrix if you haven't figured it out yet. I personally think that it is pretty good, but that's just my opinion.

    Its sequel can be found http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2591379/1/Know_Thyself there but it is as of yet unfinished, unfortunatly. And it was just beginning to get good... I doubt it will be updated any time soon as it has been about a year and a month since chapter 6 came out.

    3/5.

    The child!Harry isn't fun to read, and it'll never reach the second of the seven stories the author planned out.

    I have to agree with Andy here. ChildHarry isn't really my taste either.

    Just when you think you've seen it all, along comes a HP/Matrix crossover. Wow... just wow.

    I remember this story. I thought it was pretty good when it came out. I don't know if it's aged well though. Oh, it's been edited-- now I'm wondering how different it'll be. Looks like I'll have to reread it.

    I'm waiting for an HP/Rush Hour crossover.

    As for the story, won't rate cause I didn't complete even a couple of chapters.

    It just doesn't seem interesting...

    Why is every-single-bloody-chapter named after a song name?!

    Sounds like a winner.

    I can see it now, Morpheus saying to Harry "You think thats a wand your holding?"

    Child!Harry: Yes I know, usually he isn't very fun to read because, well, children are rarely going to be confident in anything and this isn't any different than usual.

    Matrix: There are plenty of explanations for this but it is not yet fully explained even still.

    Books: Yes, I doubt they'll get finished. Pity.

    Edited: Yes, I do love those. Many unedited need to be, well... nixed.

    I remember reading this one back then and I liked it a lot. Standards are higher these days though so I'm not sure how this story will be judged. I remember it being a good story but then again I liked a lot of crap back then too. Rating withheld unless I reread this story.

    Personally, I read it when it was unedited and backed away a little. Edited, it's pretty good. I also don't like Child!Harry much, but I suppose it works for the story. I like most of hoshi-tachi's stuff, so really, I can't complain. It's better than most crossovers floating around even if the cross is... odd.
    3.5/5

    Not only that, but the author couldn't resist having Harry abused, and everyone and their mother is outraged and pities him.

    Good to hear it isn't abandoned.

    I didn't mind this story at all, I havent read a Matrix crossover before. Unfortunatly I also don't think this will be completed but the author did update today.

    3/5

    Lol, it's like the author updated just to spite you.

    Anyway, I'm off to read it, and see if it's any better.

    Loved this back in 2005(?) when I read it on FicWad. The story seemed to have a fairly good start, but time has made me less tolerant to Wimp!Harry.

    Will wait until the author puts up a couple of chapters before rereading and rating.
