Found an interesting fic I'd give it a 3/5 for holding interest. Also this is the first fic I've read where Dumbledore hold Petunia as a hostage.

Moved out of the Almost Recced Thread.
To be moved out of For Review October 24.

 

This thread was once part of the (now named) "New and Almost Recommended Harry Potter Fanfiction" thread.

I moved it here as it was long enough or got enough positive attention to deserve its own thread.

 

I remember reading this fic. It had too much angstiness with too little positivity. The plot of year 2 was basically the same after which I stopped reading. Though some of the petrified students were different, Harry was nearby almost of them when the body was discovered just to have more backlash or heap more negativity onto him by the Hogwart students.

I don't think I will be able to read it again. 2/5

 

The story begins a bit slow, yet begins to pick up towards chapter 22. Overall, as long as it picks up a bit speed, in terms of story and updates, I will continue to read.

 

This story pretty bland and nothing really happens until the latest chapters. The dialogue sounds stiff and unnatural. It's just a retelling of canon. I would rate it a 2/5 because at least it has decent grammar.

 

As with most canon rehash, I enjoy it but mostly am more excited for future chapters. I don't care for the fiddle, i love the extra vacations, and a harry who knows he's keeping voldy alive the whole time is worth thinking about.
