Very amused at Daphne, Draco, Blaise, and Ernie's adventures in plumbing. She's right about plumbers being kinky. I work in a hardware store and along with the various male and female parts we sell ballcocks and nipples :D

"Rolanda coughed this time, with “Jusenkyo!” clearly heard in between the coughs." This proves my point. This story is going downhill.

"..safer to have a Muffleborn Hufflepuff on your side than to stand alone against Daphne." Is it supposed to be like that? (muffleborn = someone born from hufflepuffs?) Or was that just a mistake. First time I've ever seen it either way.

The light spell being afraid of the dark was a nice touch. The reference to Sirius' death was too.

The Kreacher part of Harry's dream can be read as so many things it's almost not even funny.

You know, I'm just waiting for someone (Harry most likely) to kill Umbridge. The way this is going when not adhering to the boring old american standard for family comedy is a dark and hilarious place.

"A lot of teenagers could say that the adults were ruining their lives, but it was absolutely the truth in Harry’s case!" The sad thing is, the way you've written it he's completely right. So nothing anyone says (aside from lies he cannot see through) should be able to convince him otherwise.

"As a bonus, I've decided these next few chapters are going to contain those mysterious "deleted" scenes in which I tried to put them in the story, but they couldn't fit, for some reason, in the flow of changing scenes." Not going to read them.. Sorry but the story just isn't interesting enough for me to read them. I'm not even sure I want to read the next chapter.. Whenever it comes out. The preview makes it look like it could go either way.

I'll bookmark it and check on it from time to time. Because it's still quite amusing, despite the sometimes extremely boring parts that's appearing more often the further you read.

"Why is this game so brutal? Harry wondered helplessly." You've really changed Harry's character if he thought something like that.

I can't help but think that the story is slowly but surely going off course. More towards bad american "family comedy" type of story. You know with the food fights and everything. Still isn't really there, but it feels like it's closing in..

"..which included Hedwig’s injury.." I think I remember Harry thinking something along the lines of "..and poor Hedwig..", but I really can't seem to recall what happened to the bird. I'm not sure whether Harry thought that before or after the chapter-best-not-mentioned. Pretty sure it was before, which makes it even more odd. You'd think you'd remember Hedwig getting injured..

..I hope it's not you writing "Hedwig" instead of "Harry". It fits but it's a pretty stupid mistake if that's what it is.

Right Lucius' letters. They would probably be more amusing without the smileys.

Amusing enough chapter. You really handled Harry's meeting with the parents well. Usually it comes off as extremely awkward, no matter what genre it is.

"..utter personality change withstanding." You did this a few times before. Shouldn't there be a "not" there before the "withstanding"?

Interesting chapter. But it feels like you're moving away from the humor, and even adventure a bit even though it hasn't been present much, into the genre of mystery and the like.

"Bikini mud-wrestling indeed." What's wrong with that?

I've hear nothing good about Twilight, movie or book. Unless you count the parodies and crack writing. At least not from a somewhat reliable source. Honestly twinkling vampires? Vampire baseball? Werewolves getting it on with pre-infants (temporally forgot the actual word..)? I've heard about the American love for Volvo before (even then I think it kind of ended around when I was born), but for it to be the ideal (family) car?

It was amusing to read what, in an interview apparently expecting a good response, Stephen King had said about Twilight and the author's ability to write.

The story is growing a bit stagnant. You need something big to happen, or at least something other than what had has happened so far. Perhaps now would be a good time to send in Mousse or Genma (and Ranma) who heard about Snape's progress in creating a cure.. or something. Perhaps you should wait a bit longer. The Old Crone should probably be the one to get the news to whomever you're sending if you're using it. Her or Happy.

Kind of looks like you're working towards a Harry/Daphne pairing.

You know the previous chapter didn't fit in at all. It just felt like an AN or something. You read it and maybe remember some of it half an hour later. Then only the somewhat important or mildly interesting parts. ANs usually aren't that interesting.

Anyway, the story picked back up and is amusing again. The previous chapter just didn't factor in at all. It's like a particularly bad break in the middle of a song. It just divides the "before" and "after". Hopefully, as there are songs that are built around those particularly bad breaks..

I'm still waiting to see the twins be brought back to two, instead of four.

..well the worse than standard chapter came. And it was so boring I couldn't even get through half of it. I did catch Narcissa's last letter though. It was kind of amusing. I just feel that a chapter full of letters is just the mark of a very lazy writer. One or two letters every now and then is fine, though they should add something.

I seriously had to stop reading before I just dropped the whole story. It's been too good up 'til now for me to do that though.

"..victim of suicide.." I never understood this. Why are they a victim? Someone forced them to die? But isn't that murder? Or at the very least man-slaughter? (which actually sounds worse to me, but I suppose that's just one of the strange things present in the american culture).

"Roommate: I've noticed that summaries with misspelled words seem to get more attention." ..that's not desperate, it's just stupid. Personally when I browse for stories I rarerly even consider clicking a story with a bad summary. If the author can't be bothered to put some time into the summary, what's the story going to look like? Will it even be finished?

As the joke it was (it must have been..) it's a bad one..

"..suicide is not a laughing matter.." It's not something to be concerned about either. Even ignoring free will (something most people tend to do anyway when it comes to this chosing one's death..) it's just pathetic if they remain in that state for any considerable amount of time.

While I don't think suicide in itself is something bad (I'm of the belief that the freedom to do as you wish is the most important thing in life, but you have to be prepared to face the consequences too of course) I think failed suicide, no matter if it's because of design or stupidity, is pathetic. They don't deserve help. Of course there will be people to help them, for legal reasons or because that is just what they want to do, and that's their choice.

Hope you my view somewhat interesting. I get the impression, quite often, that my view is kind of rare. Either that or I'm just more honest than most people. I find it amusing that people who argue for life often don't realize they are also supporting torture. Of both mind and body. Those that do realize often think that the trials of life is worth it, are naive enough to think that what they are arguing for isn't torture (or at least don't include it just because it's supposedly not permanent) or something inbetween.

I think it's interesting how you use that old theory of Metamorphmaguses not being able to become Animagi the way you do. Nymphadora being able to fight of the curse and all. But did you forget about Voldemort's ability to possess people? Or did you just make him forget about it?

The Voldemort parts are a complete success no matter how you look at them. "Closing his eyes and concentrating, Voldemort sent out a subtle distress signal. Come to me. Come to me. Come to me…." Just awesome.

Overall great characterization. But I have to admit that the first thing I thought about when the emo emu bit was mentioned. Was the big contrast between Harry and Cursed!Harry. His constantly depressed cursed form somehow making his normal form a bit happier. It's good as it is though. Great flow. Though the first chapter felt like it was cut short. A really awesome story so far really.

I still think Umbrige has served her purposed. The horny toad bit was boring before it even got started.

"..but it persisted like a really bad hair day." Is Harry even capable of having those? The Harry part was flawless, and very funny, up to here where my brain decided it needed something to think about.. It was just as entertaining after that though.

"“You stupid waffle!”" It's just fun piled on fun in this chapter.

I hope this keeps up. Though I kind of expect at least half a boring chapter coming up at some point. It's almost impossible to be funny all the time. The best thing to do then is just to keep it interesting.

"Reviews are muchly appreciated, because I'm always curious as to what parts people liked the best or thought were the funniest." I don't like the previews. One reason is that the chapters are too short for it (at least in my opinion). The other reason is probably because I'm reading this as you've already published a number of chapters.

Loved the joke at the end. It would certainly explain why Regulus found out about the Horcruxes.

"The Spring of the Drowned Man was on the far side the valley, hidden away in some of the dark forest that grew in the very east, and perfectly capable of negating his current curse and thereby undoing all of its effects." Seeing as it's been an established fact that falling in several springs only makes you contract more curses since Pantyhose (was that what he was called in English? I read it in my native language so..) got his tentacles. Just why is it that everyone, just chapters after that, forgot about it? Why would the spring of Drowned Man not make Ranma an actual hermaphrodite, Ryoga a pig man and Genma a panda man? Why is it a cure?

It's like trying to get AIDS to cure HIV..

Amusing so far. It feels like Umbrige has finished her part in this story. Only her death or incarceration remains. Perhaps after having a few tadpoles with Trevor?

"The guide began to sweat. “Oh dear. Sirs must have fallen into Spring of Drowned Twins.”" The mecanics of that one is filled with so much potential for michief I completely understand why you did that to them.

The emo emu. Usually I can't stand even thinking about the "word" emo. For a while everyone used it for anything even remotely negative around here. On the internet as well. I always feel the desire to mutilate someone when I see or hear it.. It works here though. You're using it right somehow. Even if I never would've thought there was a right way to use it before I read this chapter. Besides the obvious gruesome murder scene where someone who use the "word" gets strangled by his own intestines.

Anyway it seems promising. No Ranma characters in this right? It wouldn't really work, unless you had them fight Hermione. Especially seeing as you have it take place after the series was completed.

...I KNEW IT.

That was my first thought when I saw the orangutan... And then the library? Obvious much? xD Pratchett fans FTW, ne?

YAY SHINY 8D I'm convinced I was a crow in an earlier life. I like crows... they're smart. And funny. And they like shiinyy things.. pretty shiny things... mica, quartz, shiny like that, and sparkly... sparrkly... @.@

Sorry about that.

Yay, thestral <3 I luffs teh thestrals. They are pure unadulterated win. Onna stick. Get your win onna stick, great prices, real quality awesomeness here! Two pence each, and I'm cutting me own hand off!

Sorry again. But really, could you have resisted that?

Wow, Harry. Foot-in-mouth much? Although, Snape's being a thick-headed son-of-a-bitch (son-of-a-mare?), so he's excused.

Gr... Probably a bloody cane toad, too... Little suckers are horny as hell, from what I hear... They'll hump bloody GOLDFISH.

Sad to say, I actually agree with that. Voldemort's thought, anyway. Most humans are amazingly stupid. Or at least, The Public is amazingly stupid. People themselves are on the whole close to halfway decent, but when they get into a group their intelligence just, sort of... dies.

Lara Croft? Who's she? Name's kinda familiar...

I /like/ snakes... Not that I would go up to a VERY large and very clearly poisonous snake and try to cuddle it, but I wouldn't run in the opposite direction screaming my head off, either. (Actually, about the first one, I /would/ do it to a fairly small nonpoisonous snake. Think rat snake/garter snake. But never mind that.)

Whoa. WHOA. DID NOT FREAKING NEED THAT.

If you drop an inanimate object into a Spring, would it be cursed, I wonder? You'd get a lot of rocks with Curse of Drowned (insert spring near cliffs here).

And nitrogen. Don't forget the nitrogen... Why not just say waste of reality and leave it at that?

...REALLY did not need...

On the other hand, I'm safe. Partially. Because emus (what is the plural of emu, anyway?) don't even have... -cough- Sometimes useless knowledge isn't that useless...

Too bad for you, Harry, cane toads are poisonous... Enough to kill a person without medical treatment...

-shifty- You haven't read Death Note, have you? I always KNEW Near was on the dark side...

Now watch, I bet you anything Lucius goes Buddhist...

See? SEE? I was RIGHT! 8D

Yay! Neville's developing a spine! I always rather liked Neville.

...Really, Harry, you don't want to read fanfiction... I swear, all I never wanted to know I learned from fanfiction. And I mean ALL.

Dolorous Umbrage needs to ne fed to acromantula. I mean lop off a finger and toe joint each day and bandage her, feeding the bit off to one. then keep slicing off inch-long sections and use tourniquets until you have an obnoxious torso.

Toss THAT through the frickin Veil!
