    Don't like it.
    Copy-Past from the book and some changed things.
    People do not have the creativity this days.

    I would have read this had the title not included "...and fall of the Dark Arts."

    I'm not going to waste my time on a story where Dark Lord Harry Potter gets his ass kicked in the end by goody Dumbledore and his band of sugary chickenshits.

    EDIT: Ok, reading it, it's actually very good. I recommend this story.

    It's okay, but nothing awe-inspiring. The author's other story is labeled as HPLV slash, so this one is on an extreme trial basis (though one would hope any semblance of fudge packing would be kept out of a first year fic anyway).

    Hopefully, this will turn out to be a good fic, as most fics (with the exception of Fayr Warning's one) that try to make Harry like Tom Riddle turn him into some Slytherin idiot who's best friend is Draco.

    in this one the author wrote harry and draco wouldn't be friends.. so it is ok. i just wish it wouldn't be slash.

    I like it, if only for the fact that for once there is a Slytherin!Harry first year story were he is not friends with Draco or Snape is suddenly super nice to Harry simply because he is in Slytherin...

    It's a good start and I like it. It's not great and certainly not that original, but at least he don't like Malfoy.

    Its a good start but not much has happened yet. As long as he starts moving away from canon in the future chapters so can this story be great and not just another AU were harry is sorted into Slytherin.

    This is quite a good story. Harry being freinds with Draco becuase of his family's influence is something i've never seen before, so it looks like it'llbe an interesting story.

    EDIT:
    I haven't seen the writer to say if it's going to be slash or not. Just because he wrote one sllash doesn't mean all his story's are going to be slash

    Its a decent story my main problem with it is the amount of canon in it but its still worth reading.

    I actually like the amount of canon; just enough, but with a subtle twist that gives this story a very nice flow.

    Hm, I like it so far. I do prefer Slytherin!Harry, so I may be biased.

    I am not sure if it will go slash or not with the other, preferably not. Only real reson i am reading this is because Harry is in slytherin and it has not been outright stated as slash like most other Slytherin!Harry stories on ff.net.

    It uses an overused plot, but somehow seems original to me, Harry is smart, but tastefully so, as he studies before the term.

    I would comment more, but there needs to be more content before I can form a real opinion on the plot/characterisation and such.
