    I like this story so far, but it is to soon to say whether or not it is a decent fic or not.

    Hannible is one scary fucker and if he were to meet the canon harry, well...harry would probably piss his pants, litterily. I know i would.

    It would be a little repetitive though.

    I very much enjoyed reading this and I can see Harry is already identifying somewhat with Dr. Lector. The interlude scene with Hermione was enticingly creepy and you can almost hear overlays of Dr. Lector in Harry's words. Calm, deceptive, smooth, and Hermione notices he initiated physical touch, something he never does, all very creepy. I like it so far, though I doubt Dr. Lector will enjoy learning about magic, and hold a particular distaste for labeling it as such. I can just see the wheels turning in his mind finding oh so many ways to explain how and why 'wizards' exist that would never utilize such a distasteful term as 'magic'. After the initial blow he would quickly recover and immediately be looking for ways to find a use for it or even ways for himself to use it independantly, through some sort of bargain or deception with Harry. Similarly, Harry would be quite shocked to discover the doctor's 'mind palace', something which would be as good or better as a magically occluded mind, something Harry should know all about. Meeting of the Minds makes for a good title.

    Truth be told, I'm a bit of a Hannibal Lector fanboy. I absolutely marvel at his intellect, grace, and savageness. And Anthony Hopkins did so well with it.

    That would all make me more critical of this story, as I would abhor to see Lector's character written poorly.

    But I enjoyed this. It was well written and kept true to his complete evilness that, I'm sure, surpasses any villain in any story anywhere.

    3.9/5, because it is only three short chapters long.

    Necro, unfortunately, but... the link in the initial post is broken, and it appears the fic has been deleted entirely.
