Very good story. I always enjoy a smart Harry. Dumbledore must have been going crazy with Harry ignoring his manipulations.
I do wish you hadn't gotten rid of Hermione.

Woo. I really enjoyed this fic, for some reason I feel like I've read a small portion of it though (the whole bit on the train with Ron and Malfoy) is it possible you had that in one of your short stories or that you borrowed it from someone else? Hmm.. Anyway. This story would be intriguing for you to write more of. I'd especially enjoy hearing about the circumstances behind wormtail and Sirius, and whether Sirius will be all worshipful of Dumbledore because he got him out or if he'll be discontented. It would be even more interesting if Sirius started using that well hidden Slytherin mindset of his and he paired up with Harry's own wit. *taps fingers together like a bad movie villain* intriguing...

wow what a very creative and wonderful story!! well done!

this is good, please continue with second year

Excellent! I love this AU. I certainly hope you plan to continue it!

Good story. It is too bad that you didn't follow it up with the other years, based on this one, those would have been good as well.

Update!

this is awesome but r u going to finish the other years?

I liked it, sorta. It was great for a quick read, but it was much too brief. A smart Harry doesn't mean he has to be boring, but whatever.

will you be adding the other years to this? or was this fic just a plot bunny?

Superb!

The trouble with insulting the author of a work with words like "lazy", and intimating that you're about to do it better, is that you'd better actually do it better or else you come off looking foolish and arrogant.

Your re-interpretation of the story is interesting. Unfortunately, you didn't really do it better. In some cases, you exchanged one cliche for another. In other cases, you altered characters beyond recognition for no other reason, apparently, than you could.

It was a nice attempt. You've definitely got some literary skill there. But the story just isn't as great as you try to imply in the summary. And it's definitely not so much better than canon for you to escape the trap I spoke about in the first paragraph of this review.

I liked this a lot. Really. yes you condensed it a lot, but you managed to create characters that worked with the shortened time-line. I cannot wait for the next set of adventures in this. Looking forward to the Dumb-buledore bashing... LOL.
Thanks for your time and effort.

One of the best HP fics I've read in a while. I hope you do the other years too. This Harry is much better than cannon.
