    the bad thing was, I wasn't setting out to bash it!

    I wrote down each thing I liked, and then the things I disliked. I didn't blatantly leave out something I liked, and add in a ton of stuff I didn't to make it seem worse then it really is.

    God how I wish that was what I did, and HBP was much, much better =(

    I left out the chapt by chapt review, for the fact that it doesn't of seem to have gotten a following =(

    Most of this story I liked, but did anyone else notice that Harry is Hermione's little bitch? I mean, he's apparently stronger than Voldemort, but gets scared of "Mount Hermione?"

    And, forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't Harry just making useless threats to Dumbledore? I mean, every time Dumbledore does something to Harry, he just goes into a cold, calculated rage and tells Dumbledore in a calm voice, "Next time, I won't be so nice!" That's all he fucking does. The only time he does something is when he sticks Dumbledore and Snape to the ceiling.

    He has enough fucking evidence to go to the ministry and tell them what the hell is going on, but he doesn't. He just sits on his ass and twiddles his thumbs.

    Apparently, Legilimency is a dark art, so Harry can get Snape thrown into Azkaban for using it upon him. And what does he do? Just sends a recurring nightmare so he doesn't get sleep. Woohoo, that's telling him!

    -- srispg: back from the dead.

    It's something that hapens in many fics Harry, becomes all powerful but fears Herman or Ginny and does anything they say.

    Most authors that write HP/GW fics do not understand that IF they make Harry godlike, he should fear no one. HP/BL and HP/NM authors understand that and most of them make them his slaves or something like that. I even read a story in which Harry kicks the crap out of half the Order and Dubmbledore with the help of his pets and SUPER-POWER but does nothing to even try to kill Voldemort..... sounds pretty dum to me!

    Meh.

    Personally I like Scheming!Suped Up!Harry... But only if his scheme's come to pass in a timely fashion.

    I like intresting plots without plot holes, a rarity out there.

    Of course not I love all things canon, HBP for example I mean how can you not like a book with great things like luck potions, unbreakable vows, a werewolf named Fenrir, withered hands, H/G and so much more.

    Nuit, I am either sensing alot of denial, sarcasm or a LOT of mental instability :? . You should get that looked at either way :p

    If I didn't know for a fact that he is being a sarcastic little shit, I'd be really worried right about now.

    hmm...
    wards off previous reviewers with grapefruit spoon.
    *sight* am safe now
    Sunset...- I'd say they were really good at the begining, the authors' pet peeves a nice tidbit to read, but lately I have to force myself to read next chapter. Pity, really.

    Sorry,

    Sorry but I am still a staunch supporter of this masterpiece. Great writing, great style, and probably the best Harry/Hermione piece ever written. I stick by my opinion.

    Re: Sorry,

    That's like saying that one pile of dung smells better than the rest. But seriously, I would like the fic if Harry would just start fucking killing people already. A super powerful Harry that still takes shit from peons like Snape and Ron gets no respect from me.

    Re: Sorry,

    I still wouldn't like it, but at least they'd be SOMETHING to it. Its like the two of them had a good idea for a middle and an end, but can't figure out how the hell to get there.

    I expect better of these two, their other stories were infested with harry/ginny filth, but other then that, it was good solid writing. I can't classify wth this crap is.

    Harry/Hermione isn't so bad as long as the author doesn't make her obsessed with the rules. There is nothing wrong with having a brainy girlfriend...

    Nothing wrong with Harry/Hermione ship. It's just those fucking stories that take after Harry/Ginny ones.
