    It's cliche. It doesn't look that bad, but the format annoys me. How hard is it to not use gigantic paragraphs!? Ugh.

    I've marked it to come back later, but... *shugs*

    I started this, but Ginny + Harry fainting + power of love and general mushiness detered me from proceeding to chapter 2.

    Meh, I read the whole thing. It wasn't that great, extremely rushed. Harry meets his parents and faints within a second of seeing them...right. He faints...but he's the savior of the wizarding world. :?

    If Voldemort had disguised himself like James before the final battle, the world would have been lost.

    I think it falls under the category of fics where harry kicks ass in battle but is a pussy any other time. He blocks an AK but faints when he see's his parents... he'd be more likely to AK the people impersonating his dead relatives...
    I picked up that harry misses ginny and ron & hermione, plus some stuff about bringing them to him... :O_O: big happy group huggs anyone :puke:

    Is it just me or do other people notice that if the paring is H/G :puke: that Harry tends to be superpowered or a pussy or at the very worst...both?

    I read up to chapter three. It's just so fucking lame - all these sorts of fics are exactly alike.

    How this piece of shit got in the Library I'll never know...

    And before someone cries Necro, it has been (somewhat) recently updated.

    To the shit-can with it!

    Look at the date of the initial post. The story has been posted way before the Review/Trash Bin system has been introduced. Nobody has ever been bored enough to go through all the old threads and move them, especially since many of them haven't been properly rated. ;)

    This has so many cliches, idiotic characters... "I saw you die, you're all deatheaters impersonating mah shits, you are trying to confuse! My name's Harry Potter DUH!" --- "Our son's name was Harry Potter, he died 17 years ago. But you MUST be a death eater! KILL IT WITH FIRE!"

    Bin it.

    or...

    Burn it!! Kill it with fire.

    This is unbelievebly lame.

    If Ginny said that to me I would have back handed her before AK'ing the bitch.

    Ron, Ginny and Hermione being Master Occlumens, what the fuck!?
    And everyone Harry knew becoming Animagi?

    Fucking aweful story.

    Could a mod move this to the Recycling Bin? It's got an 1.66 average rating.

    ... after reading that, I feel like I was trampled by a herd of clichés.
    I must admit I'm confused as to how this ever got in the library...

    There was a time when we allowed anyone to post anything anywhere. Moved to bin.
