    Pretty good post-HBP one-shot. Has all the right stuff: Dark & independent Harry, manipulative!Dumbledore and dead Weasleys. Too bad it's only the conclusion of what could have been a great post-HBP fic.

    This had more feeling than most of the chapters of his "second chance" fic.

    I am glad he bounced back.

    That's a great condensed version of a great post HBP story.

    It's a must read for in between.

    I really liked it. Too bad there is no chance in hell that its any way like the real ending to book 7.

    3.5/5 (got a little weird in the scenes with harry and hannah)

    It's a bit super-Harryish (well more than a bit), and not really a serious dark!Harry fic, but it's well written and good for a laugh.

    4/5

    I can see where you got your opinions from...but I didn't really like it much for some reason. I dunno, it seemed really cliched, with the staff, the wandless Killing Curses, the 'lets return to Hogwarts afte the world has forgotten us' and the Dumbledore being ridiulously incompetent in comparison to Harry.

    I honestly think that giving this a 2 would be generous, so 2/5 just because I like his other stuff.

    I generally don't like DrT's stuff. It's too analytical and the dialogue sounds exactly the same as the narration. No, I think I'll skip this.

    Edit: Ok I was curious so I read a bit of it. I got to the part where Harry was spouting off some bullshit about burning wand cores which made me cringe. Drt = Stained-Future

    My review for this fic: 0/5 It provided me with no pleasure in reading this and it was a waste of time.
