Your story is awesome! I've love reading it I nearly cried at the end with the bit about alice. I love how you wrote it and portrayed all the characters. I'm writing a lily James fanfic and you've really inspired me to work harder at it and you've given me some ideas aswell. I know that this review might not matter as much because the story is finished andI didn't check the date on the story so you might not even get it. But I just wanted to show that people are still reading and still enjoing Priori Incantatem.
Thanks for the story

This is the greatest Lily and James story I've ever read in my entire life. It explains a lot from the 7 Harry Potter books. I admire the way you took your time to understand each point of view of every character. I hope you will make a lot more stories. Again, I really love your story.

Good ole Remus! Always the voice of reason within the Mauraders.
Nice chapter. I'm thinking I may have read this before, but it's always good to go back and reread the good fics.

haha, poor James. Poor bloke must like the taste of his piggies. Oh the things that Lily makes him say and do.

Isn't it funny how some people turn toward negative thoughts about people's lives because of their ignorance and jealousy? Petunia could have easily said that her sister was away at a boarding school for the extremely gifted. Petunia could have had a wonderful life with her sister, but she chose not to, which is such a shame.
Nice chapter.

Nice beginning. Not unrealistic either. I remember liking a boy when I was eleven. I thought I was in love. hehe.

fellytone,

I discovered your story several years ago, I believe right after you finished writing it. I loved it and immediately added it to my favorites.

I recently decided to read a bit of fanfiction again and decided to re-read your wonderful story. It truly is a beautifully written story, one of the absolute bests I've ever read. It was fun for me to read it this time through, after knowing how the HP series turns out, and see just how spot on you were with so many of the characterizations you wrote. Despite the fact that Deathly Hallows made your Snape sub-plot a bit AU, you absolutely nailed Rowling's characterization of him.

Anyway, I'll stop rambling soon, but I wanted to tell you that your last chapter (particularly the line about "someday there will be no more Voldemort...") had me sobbing. My other absolute favorite part about this story is the on-going joke about the post-man, which had me laughing out loud every time it was brought up.

Thank you for such a beautiful story. You are extremely talented.

Hello! I enjoyed your story very much--you filled in many gaps and gave me often reasons to laugh. My favorite part of the story was probably your creative Marauder pranks and the filling in of the the Evanses and the Potters. I know you wrote this before the Deathly Hallows so you didn't know about Snape and Lily's history but your ideas were good. You followed Rowling's take of the Dursley's unreasonableness in the books. I thought the fork, beard, dudley-eating-harry was all funny but I would have liked to seen the dursley humanized a bit. But perhaps they are needed to be as extreme as belletrix and voldemort. I also thought you explained Peter's drive to be a spy and betray his friends very convincingly. Although I did find the other marauders abrasiveness to peter to not be coherant with them having been friends for so long. I enjoyed your story immensely. thanks!

There are some stories that have an insane amount of reviews (over 4100?!), there are some stories that deserve an insane amount of reviews, and there are some stories that already have an insane amount of reviews and yet deserve another from every reader who stumbles across them. This is one of those stories. So, I'm reviewing!

What was really well done about this story was that you kept very closely to the clues that JK Rowling gave about the first era of the Order of the Phoenix, and filled in the parts that she left blank on your own in a realistic manner. This was apparent from the very start, from the progress of Lily and James' relationship to the Marauders' adventures and, well, everything else.

One of my favourite things you did here was actually your development of Snape. I liked how you sort of set a precedent for his eventual defection from Voldemort by having him tip off Dumbledore even before the spy arrangement ever began, and I think your depiction of his moral dilemmas and the decision they brought him to was spot-on. You made me sympathize and even pity him in a way that I hardly ever have while reading the books, while still keeping me from toeing the line of actually liking him, because, let's face it, he's not likable.

I loved your humorous banter, and while I was afraid that the story might just get grimmer and grimmer as you approached the inevitable tragedy, something that really turns me off, you managed to lighten it up with jokes courtesy of Sirius, Harry and James, and almost everyone else at some point. So I was able to enjoy the story and get emotional vibes from it without being depressed by it.

I was a bit disappointed by the fact that you skipped the night of Voldemort's visit to Godric's Hollow itself, since I was kind of expecting that to be a climactic scene masterfully handled by your clear, excellent writing, but I was also a bit relieved, I guess, since who really looks forward to reading the scene where characters you love die? But anyway, I did feel as if something was kind of - missing - there, although I did like your last Lily and James scene.

I'm sure there's much more, all of it positive, that I could add to this review if I thought about it, but I'll cut it off here, especially since I doubt you've had any shortage of feedback! But in conclusion, I suppose what I really want to say is that this was a fanfiction worthy of paying tribute to Rowling's fantastic series, and that I had a great time reading it.
