Well I'm glad to finally find some one who is going to finish their project at all cost. You got through the computer problem and continued on. Thanks for writing all these great stories and thanks even more for posting them up on this site for others to read.

Some thing that's been bothering me and I didn't decide to mention before now, what is happened to the magic blocking word? At the beginning you said that Harry wasn't able to fight off the walking dead guards that caught him and Draco because of the magic blocking word. That was also the reason Harry's light clone wasn't able to go down the stair case to explore. So how is it that Harry and all the rest are able to do such magic now that they are in the deeper parts of the city. Also how did Voldemort use magic at the entrance when he was attacking?

If you ever get this review I'd like an e-mail saying where you got all these ideas if it isn't to hard. Some of these ideas are ** amazing to read about. If you don't mind doing me that fave then I'm sure that you'll have no problem getting my e-mail address sense the site has it in my profile and if you respond to this review I'm going to get it in form of e-mail anyway.

I actually thought you were going to have it be Sirius when Harry just froze like that. Then Tonks froze like that too and I was saying to myself that you were stupid sense Sirius' body was nothing but blood after he died. But I did figure it out when he said Luna's name and she hugged him. Damn that was a ** good chapter.

I need to first say that you could have always made Slughorn the serpents' head of house. Although you seem to have gotten rid of him between this and last book. The other thing is, how you have done scenes involving combat thus far are fine. I know you probably don't give a crap, but... I happen to be blind and as such I focus on how descriptive things are. Your scenes are good enough to get the point across. I'm personally a fan of blood and fried/burned/shreaded/ripped flesh, and snapping/crunching/crushed bones so the scenes are a little tame for my liking.

I see it as a rather good idea if you hadn't said anything about whether or not Harry and Tonks are having sex. It kind of solidifies the image that Harry is being a human weapon and Tonks is just an rust proof of sorts. She stops the problematic dreams and Harry functions better. It seems to fit your whole story line better then saying that they are like all teens when behind closed doors.

First I'd like to say that you've made another mistake in your story line. Tonks isn't under age if Harry is of age. In book one you had her turn 11 and get her letter before Harry's birth day had come yet. Second I'd like to point out that you mixed up this phrase, "marshmallow-skewered stick". The way you have it written it makes it sound as if the stick has a marshmallow going through it. if you added the word by before stick or if you were to switch the two nouns then it would work.

I have a question about the walking dead in your story. You say that the only ways to stop one is to completely destroy the body or to kill the creater. Now does that mean that you can cut one of it's arms off and the arm will still fight?

Hmm, I confess that in the last story in this arc or two I've skimmed a little, but overall it is an impressive piece of work. It is, unfortunately, not particularly original. Harry growing powerful, having a falling out with Dumbledore, and working with a small group to bring Voldemort down for the last time is pretty traditional for a Harry Potter fanfiction storyline. Oh, you had some original material which was good, but the Harry grows to ultimate power and such, which is just enough to beat Voldemort is becoming a bit clichéd.

The biggest advice I can give would be to first of all avoid following canon at all. Canon can be a starting point, but trying to stay close to it, just makes things less interesting. Secondly, I would recommend focusing on characterization. Your Harry had a fantastic skill of being a Metamorphmagus, yet the skill barely affected his life. What if Voldemort wasn't an issue or delt with early, how would that skill affect his life? What trouble would he get in because of it, and what trouble would he avoid? Similarly, Tonks had the potential to be more than, "Harry's girlfriend."

Again, thanks for all your hard work in writing this.

Good story. Pretty unsatisfying ending. The transition between wtf to omg was pretty good, but omg to hooray! was way too fast.

Harry's descent into darkness/madness was GREAT. Usually. Overall plot was pretty good. Writing style was decent enough.

I give the entire series a 3/5.

I KNEW IT! I remember somewhere awhile back you mentioned... something about... something like where he went grave-robbing (God, I don't even remember... -.-), and I KNEW he had Leon. I may have forgotten about it, but dammit, I hate being right.

For the record (regarding the AN), I was under the impression throughout the story that Tonks and Harry, at least, were virgins. There were DEFINITELY no hints otherwise unless one was either the writer or looking very specifically for them. Hell, I thought I read a few hints for the exact opposite.

i really loved the series and the concept of harry and tonks meeting when they were young. there was only one other story like that posted and that person got it from you. i had that idea too but i hadn't heard of your stories. it was so great until i hit book five which started the angst the two of them not getting along. then people started dying harry kinda went crazy killing people and started flipping out on everybody. he had changed and i lost a bit of what originally captured my interest but i still liked the last three books and the ending. then i read your first chapter of the r-2 series and you went and captured my interest all over again! you are a very good writer and i hope you keep it up. also will you be writing a story for right after the end of gauntlet because it ended really weird and i didn't understand it very well. overall though great job!

Awesome ending. I'm going to have to go and read the sequel now...
This has been an absolutely epic series, and I've loved every minute of it. Of course, my mum hasn't been terribly happy with me for spending hours at a time (sometimes the whole day...) sitting on my computer reading this, but I just couldn't stop. If you could put a computer down like a book, I'd say this was un-put-down-able. Not sure if that really works as a proper word, but it fits.
All I can say now is; Thanks for the effort you put behind this, it's brilliant.
