Thought I'd sketch out some of the interesting points in your short story.


I. Arthur Potter

A. Merlin level Talent

B. Muggle Game Designer -

1. Multi level gamers would love the real life tales.

2. What if he could animate the game characters so they had a life of their own?

3. Can make his fortune that way? What would a muggle like him do with muggle born wizards/witches before they went to Hogwarts? I've read Techno Mage stories...what could he do with the combined talents.

C. Wants his father to be comfortable.


II. Harry Potter

A. Trying to get his groove back.

B. Writing a book.

C. Old enemies who want to cause him and his son harm.

I like this story. I wish you would have expanded it like the Resonance series.

Arthur Potter is a good original character. I look forward to seeing what Rip Van Winkle Harry Potter would do with the extra years he's been given.

great story

Good Story

I loved this story with how Harry got better and Arthur got to know magic but wasn't pushed into it! I feel like a sequel is necessary though because to me it feels like the story just stopped and is waiting for something!

This is really great so far--I'm a big fan of Arthur's attitude toward Magic, and how you're presenting it; no irrational fear of the unknown, just an appreciation for Muggle technology's occasional superiority.

Is this REALLY as "short" work, or are we going to get, "Brighter Afternoon" and "Brighter Evening" as well?

I just have to say, this story was absolutely amazing! I tried really hard to read it all in one sitting, but ended up falling asleep. I finished it this morning. AMAZING! ! ! !

I just re-read this story (It must have been the 4th or 5th time) It's really great! I like Arthur! Do you perhaps consider a sequel...?

I've always just disregarded this story of yours because of the summary, but yesterday i decided to give it a go. i must say, i thoroughly enjoyed it.
if you ever finish resolution and the rest of the r's i think this story has great potential to continue on too. it really is magical.
its so refreshing to see that they both dont get over harry getting well immediately like other authors might write, so much more realistic!
its also amazing that you've seamlessly killed off Ron without it being a big deal... though perhaps slightly unrealistic. i would love to see some interactions with a grown up Neville!
i love how Arthur is a muggle in the ways that matter to him, which are so different to the rest of the magical world. it really is a wonderful insight into his beautiful character. the whole story allows you to write harry's personality in the way you wish he could have been.
i really love how you somehow make such a heartcrunching story so filled with plot without the typical 'woe is me' monologues. so true to JK too. mention a tear to get the point across and move on without the typical angst disection of exactly where the tear landed and what exact thought brought it on... you draw on the humanity and brains of your readers to read between the lines. again, so refreshing!

i wish more writers were so professional... but then i guess, normally if theyre good enough to earn money for it, they usually make some sort of living from it so us mere paupers who cant afford real books cant read their writing!
woe is me :P

anyway, this is just me trying to expand on the fact that i loved this story.

"Natural hand conjurers are about as rare as Parselmouths," he commented quietly. Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Harry was born 34 years ago but he looks 25 and his mind is actually 19? Wow, well, no wonder he's clinging to Arthur... Actually, wonder he's working at all...

And it seems to me that Arthur's magic is a lot stronger than average. Kids aren't supposed to be able to use real spells without a wand...

Très bien! Excellent!
I find myself releasing a breath as I return to he real world, like I would at the end of a particularly good film. :)

"This story is amazing..." breathed the teen from half-way around the world.

Very well written, very original. I liked it a lot. There should be a sequel! What happens with Arthur...? What does he choose? Does he accept magic?
Anyway, great story I definitely loved it!

I'd love to see a one-shot sequel to this. I really enjoyed it, even though this is at least my second time reading it. :)
