 PuzzledPrincess 2009-08-06 . chapter 1Absolutly hilarious. :) Though I it was a bit odd that the Weasly children know how to operate a tv ... or have electricity...but I wouldn't put it past the twins. :) |
 Cadid423 2009-07-05 . chapter 1This is so funny! I can read any of the stories in this series (which I have dubbed Explaining to Ron) at any time and I always start laughing. Though they're all funny, RapsolutelyMental unzel is my favorite. |
 magdilen 2009-07-04 . chapter 1Good job. |
 Lynnicaec 2009-03-29 . chapter 1Just finished reading all your fairytale stories. I love them. they are so funny. I love Hermione trying to explain and then gets caught up in her tangents. And Ron's entire commentary is hilarious! I do hope you do Jack in the Bean Stalk, The gingerbread man is another good one, that is if your planning on making more. *hint hint* :D I never realized how much similarities there are in these fairy tales or how morbid they are. I had this big book of fairy tales when i was younger and I read every one over and over, they never seemed weird but I now that I look back on it, I wonder how my mother every let me read them, if they were made into life action movie they would all def. be rated r. Anyway the point of this really long review is that i love you harry potter fairy tale fics and I hope you continue them! :D |
 Leah 2009-03-07 . chapter 1 Ron made me LOL so much that it hurt! |
 kitkatgal37 2009-02-24 . chapter 1hahahaha! I've read all of your fairytale parodies, and they're hilarious! Keep up the good work. |
 Elmyralove 2009-01-30 . chapter 1God I admire you woman!!
your stories are incredible, i've read the snow white tale and i can't say which is better... they are just awesome =D
i love how you write and how you link those walt disney tales with the magic of harry potter, it makes me think you are jk rowling haha |
 Twinnie 2009-01-29 . chapter 1 I've just read your series and had lots of fun ^^ Now I feel like reading again that book, Psychoanalysis of Fairy Tales by Bettelheim, which had me laugh a lot during philosophy classes (did you read anything like that? Hermione's interpretations really sound like they were just out of a similar kind of book).
I loved the interaction between the three of them, and Ron and Harry's comments were extremely entertaining. Now I'll definitely think twice when my nieces ask for a story - wouldn't want to get stuck by a logical question like Hermione did with these two ^^
Good job, well-thought, very amusing. |
 swanpride 2009-01-05 . chapter 1*giggle* I just read all your fairy tales...they are great! I hope you will write more of them...Hänsel und Gretel or beauty and the beast...
Btw, Rapunzel is actually the german word for Rampion...so in the German (original) version there isn't a discrepancy in the name. |
 Kassi Cullen 2009-01-04 . chapter 1Oh my gosh, I forgot to put you on author alert and i totally didn't know you wrote this one! I rele need to pay better attention. But it's rele good. Love it. LOVE it. lol. Keep it up!

 fuzzyalligator 2008-12-15 . chapter 1Was that a hint to another story? Hmm? lol
Because of you, I now have to go over every little fairy tale I know and see how bizarre/disturbing they are. And I never realized tjhat most of them actually have fruit/vegatables in the. Makes ya wonder.
~Fuzzy~ :3 |
 gedwayignasia 2008-12-08 . chapter 1 LOVE it! AS with all your stories, way cool, great r/hr and great h/r and great h/hr. You really know would to make the charater tick! |
 duj 2008-12-06 . chapter 1Hilarious.
Although I did wonder a bit at apparent hints of Ron being familiar with Muggle culture. (They don't have "addiction support groups" or "salad bars" in the wizarding world, as far as we know.) Despite Arthur's interest in Muggle inventions, he neither exhibits much understanding himself nor passes on his interest to Ron. (Percy and Bill are the Weasleys who did Muggle Studies to at least OWL level. Ron didn't.) How did Ron know that Muggles had only outside toilets back then? |
 J 2008-12-06 . chapter 1 You know, after Voldemort's gone Hermione should totally rent "Into The Woods" and have the boys watch it with her.
I love hearing the guys reactions to the stories. |
 whitehound 2008-12-06 . chapter 1This is great - it makes some intelligent observations on the folklore and is also in character for the Trio.
The version of Repunzel that I know does answer a couple of Ron's concerns. Her hair in that version was only floor-length, but the witch had spelled it so that when she called "let down your hair" it would grow into a rope.
And in the version I know, the man didn't know he was selling his own baby. His dog was expecting puppies before the baby was due, and the witch told him he was to bring her the first new (or newborn) thing that would be in the house when he got home. He agreed, thinking she wanted a puppy, but when he got home his wife had gone into labour early.
The Scottish children's author Nicholas Stuart Gray wrote a marvellous novel version of the Rapunzel story, called The Stone Cage. He's worth reading both for his own sake and because I strongly suspect JKR has read him. His other well-known fairy-tale-based novel The Seventh Swan contains an exceptionally Snaey character. |
