What an actual dog shit! How is this people's what bullshit is this...i habe to read strong op harry fics to cleanse my mind from this shit ...this agnst pro max...every chap...when something happens then only our mc will take action...what garbage...no offense to the author of course you have dedicated your time and energy towards this fic and i am reading it for free but i just couldn't stop from ranting after reading this...this fic is not for me but other may enjoy it so check it out and decide for yourself.

I didn't like that you basically shoehorned Harry into Griffindor to follow the plot. He had like half a conversation Hermione, Ron didn't make a very good first impression, and Neville didn't even say anything.

Harry doesn't know these three well enough to to use them as a reason to beg the hat to put him into Griffindor. With the way you've set Harry up, he should have gone into Ravenclaw.

love this fic

You realize you're being internally inconsistent here. In the previous chapter you said the soul-eating properties of the Sword didn't work on the chimera because it didn't have a soul. Now you're telling us that a spider has a soul? That's the only way that the Unforgivables would work on it, since they affect the soul according to Moody/Crouch's explanation.

Rlly ron bashing also he aint a bully

Great change ups

Thanks for fixng the wand

Love the opening

"I'll be sure to consult with you if I need it, Professor." Said no 11-year-old in history.

I like the runes aspect of this story. I remember liking that when I first read it years ago. But the characterizations are just terrible. Harry feels like a 30-year-old SI, and everyone else just seems to be cardboard cutouts supporting a power-fantasy. I think part of it is that the story doesn't take any time at all to flesh out plot, characters, worldbuilding, anything. It jumps from 0 to 100 MPH in five seconds and stays there, so everything that most stories take their time setting up is just skimmed past with superficial treatment, so the story feels full of holes. I think in order to save everyone time I'll just stop reading here. The me of 6-7 years ago liked this story, but I don't think the me of today does.

This chapter has... some problems. Firstly, no matter how interested in runes Harry may be, carrying around a dangerous rune cluster isn't something he'd do. Lots of people like fireworks, or even actual explosives, at his age, but that doesn't mean they carry them around in their pockets to classes or meals. It's highly unrealistic, and obviously there just for that plot point to happen. Secondly, Neville isn't Ron. He doesn't have the "rush into danger" personality that Ron has. Even as an adult he never quite got there. He was brave, but not in that sort of way. Slotting him in as a direct Ron replacement this early feels very contrived, especially since his wand conveniently got broken so that he can become mighty!Neville that much faster.

And thirdly, the big one, there's no possible way that Flitwick would be speechless and awed that Harry made a (defective) rune cluster in class. Flitwick has been an educator for DECADES, and head-of-house to the very group most likely to study ahead. What Harry did is maybe 3-4 years ahead of his year-group, which is not all that impressive or unique. It's not like he invented an entirely new branch of magic, or mastered alchemical transfigurations for combat. A sixth-grader doing 9th or 10th grade work (badly) is impressive, sure, but hardly shocking to an experienced educator. I get that you wanted Harry to be amazing, but having Flitwick react that way just seems cheesy and unrealistic, like he's just a vector for the author to TELL readers how cool Harry is rather than having to show it.

cissy is not a pure blood thru and thru if she was she never would have helped harry.

you took the easy way out by making it so dumbles was crazy instead of a trial and killing in front of every one this is pure crap

30 sec to just float a feather and you call that easy...

This story was just as amazing the second read through. I really hope you continue to write for this fandom. I'm now rather curious to know how you would spin a Dark Harry story.

The story is truly great! Thank you so much!

The rune wall idea was brilliant
