I thought I'd review here, even though it's been 7 years since you updated here. I found a bit of chapter 5 on your livejournal and gobbled that down too!

What can I say? Well, there are some many utterly beautifully detailed bits in the story. I loved some of the incidental magic details - how Imperius feels for the caster, Julius' random sparking, the spider spell - they really round out the world. I particularly love the wizarding culture and history details you have created.

Your Hogwarts is alive - much more vibrant than the Hogwarts of Harry's time. Why didn't Rowling have Central? It makes so much sense. House Slytherin - the 'game' gives meaning to the ambition and cunning requirements for entry.

The whole social scaffolding of your Marvoloverse is astonishing and so coherent. I can see why the fic has ended up abandoned - it must be a full-time job planning out and writing something this detailed and absorbing!

I am adding you to my alerts in case you ever come back to this - it is one of the best HP backstories I have read. I see you are still in the fandom, so I will live in hope that you will be inspired again.

Wawawa. I am reduced to gibbering in delight, your magical machinations are so lovely.

My friend recommended this to me (since I have a thing for 19th-century fanfic) and I must say that I'm thoroughly enjoying it! Lately I've been feeling very alone, working on my own Young Dumbledore fic, and this was just the morale booster I needed :)

You have no idea what it does to me every time I read this fic. :) I so wish you could post more. I need my Carus and young!Albus fix. Your young!Albus is my favorite so far. I miss him.

What can I do to coax an update? Firstborn children? Chocolate? Random television DVD sets? Ritual sacrifice?

Ooh I LIKE. Everyone seems to shy off the Slytherins, whereas this one I like in a grudging sort of way... I'm torn! The labels evil and good are far too simplistic. I like the idea of the 'game', very realistic.

Finally, for the first time in readin gall of fanfiction, I have come across a story that transcends the HP arena... your story is at times completely alien to HP and JK Rowling, and yet, I reverently wish that she would like like you have, write with a depth that you write at.

magic in HP is simple, wave a wand, get the spell right. In yours, magic is alive and it is ever-changing, and it lives up to the imagination of a man like me who has read almost eveyr major piece of fantasy writing out there.

You have undoubtedly stopped this story, because it is 2007, but I have to leave a review. This is what HP could have been, and the magic in this story is simply...there's no words. At least after reading through your story. I will fervently hope that you are writing some fantasy literature somewhere, or perhaps took up another flick. But this version of Hogwarts will always be what i compare any other fic to, and invariably they will all far short. congratulations. your review number doesnt' say it, but i will. This has been some of the most enjoyable and intriguing reading I have done in the entire Harry Potter universe. Thank you

I greatly enjoy this story. So this is the history of the man who would own the Hog's Head ...

wow. It all seems so ...real.
For some reason this reminds me of Oscar Wilde´s works, but that´s probably because he lived around that time.

I like this - Aberforth as a Muggle-born Slytherin - and certainly all this about Status game...

I like this - well, Aberforth? Dumbledore is interesting character, even if only mentioned twice so far... honest, if his brother can't tell if he can read, well..

More than anything else, I love how dense this fic is. I get the feeling that you know every nuance of wizarding life, inside and outside Hogwarts. I'm waiting with bated breath for the next chapter, though I understand that these things take time :). Happy writings!

Very interesting story. Doesn't really feel like Hogwarts, even taking the time difference into account, but it's very entertaining to read nonetheless.

I do hope you're writing more of it.
