    I've just reread the story from the beginning - I'm still completely happy with it. It avoids the cliche's and the characters are both IC and believable. It's slow but has lots of nifty ideas. I especially liked the portrayal of Harry's thought processes and the completely reasonable steps he took, based on the information he had. It's fun watching everyone else's confusion and upset. This one is great GEN fiction.
    5/5

    Banner, the only problem is that when she started writing the story, all those cliches she's avoiding were quite so cliched...but it is nice to see that she is still avoiding them.

    Oh, wow. It was last updated in 2008. As slow as it is paced I'd say another five chapters until it's finished - in 10 years or so.

    I really liked it a lot when it started, though I'm not able to say why. Perhaps it was the original story, or the scenes the author described with Harry working at the Leaky Cauldron. But it never had a real intriguing plot, it was as slow paced as she was slow at updating.

    Nowadays I wouldn't say it's worth the library, but I would have to reread it to actually judge it.
