well i do say waiting for a year to post an epic chapter sall indeed be most epic but now you need to post it!

if you dont post soon i shall send the shadows on you!

this is a great story.

While I see that this story hasn't been updated in over a year now and it might not be anymore, which makes me very sad, I feel that I have to give a review just to show how much I appreciate this story.

Let me first say that I normally try to stay as far away from crossovers as I possibly can, because one side almost always inevitably suffers. Not only in trying to mesh two universes that most often are simply incompatible, but also in plot (seeing as most crossovers seem to think the crossover in itself constitutes a plot), and, most importantly for me, in characterization.

That said I cannot do anything less than applaud you for this well-thought out and engaging story with characters that are believable and true to themselves, everybody is spot on.
My favourite in this story is definitely Malik, if only because it is so hard to come upon a portrayal of him that doesn't completely screw up his character. He might not be the same person he was in Battle City, but his acknowledgements that the Pharaoh isn't his enemy and his subsequent regrets for his actions don't erase the parts of his character that made them possible in the first place. So it is really nice to see a story where he retains those 'not so nice' characteristics of his and doesn't turn into another Yugi or a hyper spazz.
The others are also stunning, especially Yami Bakura, who I felt you captured really well in his stubbornness, his pride, and his absolute refusal to be fed silly lies in order to keep them "safe". And even if the Harry Potter characters aren't the main focus, they don't get neglected in their characterizations; Harry is observant, Hermione's intelligent and somewhat blunt and Ron is his quirky and lovable self. And Dumbledore pretends to know nothing until explicitly proven otherwise and even then he keeps smiling. Incorrigible that man. Oh yes, and Draco is an insufferable git. ;)
But not only the individual characters are wonderful, their relations to each other are simply great, and I love Malik and Bakura having each other's back. None of the characters get the stupid ball in order to advance the plot.

One of the scenes that stood out most to me was without a doubt the Tarot reading. It gave a wonderful foreboding feeling and it made you experience Bakura's anxiety perfectly. In combination with the second impromptu reading on the tower and Malik's reaction during Bakura's argument with Dumbledore are so intense that I can't help but be on the edge of my seat.

A big compliment also to the author switching which was gratefully almost unnoticable.

While I fully understand the power that a new fandom can hold and the difficulty to continue something you might have lost interest in, I sincerely hope that that interest will return somewhen and that this story will be finished sometime. It doesn't have to be this month or even this year, but knowing that there is a possibilty of continuation would certainly be nice.
This story is way too good to just end here.

That said, I hope you'll read this review and thanks go out to the both of you for your great work!

I think this is a really good fanfiction and I am looking forward to read the next chapter to see how things are going for Kaiba and Malik.

I WUV THE KAIBA BROTHERS! Mokuba more then Seto, but still. They're here! We. I can so picture what's gonna happen to them. And because Seto is a very over-protective brother, he's most likely to accept Dumbledore's offer now that he sees just how much danger he and Mokuba are in. I can so see them in Hogwarts, Mokuba clinging to Seto and Seto being stalked by fangirls and in constant danger of being drugged with a love potion. *fantasizing*

Hey, is this story still going, cuz i really liked it and i want to read more. This story has put the bakura's and marik on my fan list (not sure where they stand with yugi and yami) :( Anyway hope it will be continued. thanks

Hey, WhiteAngelChan! Tell dolphinabottle to get off her butt and UPDATE! I can't wait to read what happens next!

Brillant! Say, why doesn't Hogwarts have a counselor? Heaven knows they sure need one...

Hey where is the rest of it! or have you discontinued the story? i really like it!

I really hope Seto doesn't come to Hogwarts. He'd be a constant downer because he "doesn't believe in magic", it's already halfway through the school year/plot, and his screen time would take up space and pull away from the plot. I think he should just escape from voldemort and then be picked up by Dumbledores' guys, taken to Hogwarts where he picks up Mokuba and bluntly refuses Dumbledores' offer of enrolement, but accepts bodyguards (for Mokuba's saftey if anything) and returns to japan.

That just seemes more in character of Seto to me...You know, cold indifference and all...He doesn't strike me as particularly caring of the wizarding worlds problems, or caring about malik.

Besides, the story is pretty awesome without him being a main character.
That's justy opinion. Awesome story. Update! And keep up the good work... But maybe at a little faster pace :)

I'm enjoying the new author. She's rather good but there is one thing that's really bothering me in this chapter...

I feel like Bakura (and Malik too but Bakura especially) is speaking too formally. Now, from the rest of the chapter I can tell that writing in a somewhat formal tone is the new author's style but I don't believe that Bakura would speak like that. For the narrative it works but in his speech it seems off.

For example, "I think he’s passing through that phase wherein you teenage mortals feel as if the world’s against you." The word wherein in that sentence REALLY bothered me. I'm not sure why Bakura would ever use it. He's an Ancient Egyptian thief with absolutely no education whatsoever. Sure he'd have some education through Ryou but by now it's been a few thousand years without it. I'm sure his speaking habits would not sound educated in the slightest.
(And really, how often do you actually hear the word wherein used? Sure it shows up in literature, but modern day speech? Not so much.)

I hope this doesn't come out as too picky. Bakura's speaking habits aren't really a big deal to anyone but me I'm sure. However, speaking like that suits someone like Kaiba and just sounds weird coming from Bakura.

Ah, excellent chapter! ^_^ You have NO idea how happy I was to find that this story is being continued on (only knew of previously), even if by a different author. I greatly look forward to the next update! ^_^

i love this story...its great! i'm gonna go boher the author whos now writing the chapterrs to update XD

You guys have done an awesome job. I wish it could be made into an actual series, cuz i'd watch. But then stupid entertainment companies would butcher it, *sighs*. Anyway the story is totally believable and well written. I'm sorry to say this and bug you but i hope theres an update soon, cuz i just have to finish stories i read ( must be some ocd thing). bye,bye

Seto the parseltongue. Must have made an... interesting pharaoh. Of course all leaders from history - great or otherwise - were bastards to some extent or another but still, I do feel rather pessimistic concerning him, especially considering the characters of Yami and Dark Bakura.

Wonderful story. You've done a great job of merging the two worlds in a believable manner. It's just a shame there hasn't been an update for so long.
