"Thick grey smoke swirled and churned from the gaudy neckpiece between them. It reminded her of something, but she couldn't place the memory." This was said about the locket which contained the poem clue for the second to last task. I think what it reminded Rigel of was Riddle's magical core, and his magic. That would make the most sense.. Man I love this series so much!

beautifully done. I enjoyed this more than JK Rowling’s story itself.

The Potter family descended from a twelfth-century wizard named Linfred of Stinchcombe, a locally well-beloved and eccentric man, whose nickname, ‘the Potterer’, became corrupted in time to ‘Potter’.[5]
Linfred was a vague and absent-minded fellow whose Muggle neighbours often called upon his medicinal services.[5] None of them realised that Linfred’s wonderful cures for pox and ague were magical; they all thought him a harmless and lovable old chap, pottering about in his garden with all his funny plants.[5] His reputation as a well-meaning eccentric served Linfred well, for behind closed doors he was able to continue the series of experiments that laid the foundation of the Potter family’s fortune.[5] Historians credit Linfred as the originator of a number of remedies that evolved into potions still used to this day, including Skele-Gro and Pepperup Potion.[5] His sales of such cures to fellow witches and wizards enabled him to leave a significant pile of gold to each of his seven children upon his death.[5]

Fleamont Potter also invented potion that produced mast fortune.

I wondered why James doesn’t appreciate the potion more.

Hope Harry invented the cure to dragon pox coz that what killed her grandparents.

It makes me wish that Harry/Rigel will win and then in a spectacular way unmask as it were as a half blood. Well either Harry or Hermione.

Wow. i have been following the Rigel Black Chronicles for many years now. This...this is incredible. i am so looking forward to Book 5.

Leo knows. That is so so good for her. She needs him. 3

No...i mean, yes, it always had to happen this way, didn’t it? i am finally catching up on the updates...it is beautifully written, but...Draco... Pansy... her whole life. What now?

It is NOT selfish to want your characters to fly, especially when you know you yourself can never have that freedom...

I wonder if The Dancing Phoenix will have any correlation to a certain Order of The Phoenix in book 5: The Manic Masquerade?

Kasten is such an interesting character, I wonder if he'll make any more appearances..

I've been reading this series over the past couple of weeks and it keeps on striking me just how amazing your writing and storytelling is. You've made such an impressive series and it feels very organic no matter the plot, and it feels like you don't need to lean on the source material to make an amazing work of fiction. This has now become one of my favourite series and I will be looking forward to the time that Manic Masquerade is posted!

This was an incredible book! I loved how it all came to a head in the most dramatic of ways possible. I've been up all night reading this and I regret nothing! The only misery in my life right now is that the 5th book is going to take AGES to come out and I am dying to know what happens next! Thank you for this marvellous series!

Poor Sirius. He must feel like his son is pushing him away and like he doesn't even know Rigel/Archie anymore.

This book. Omg this book brought me to pieces! This SERIES brought me to pieces. I literally binged through this series in like a week. No sleep but so much satisfaction. The world that was built, the intricacies and complexities that were built upon were literally a masterpiece. A work of art. LITERARY GOLD. *Chef’s kiss*. There are no words to describe all of the emotions I went through reading this but you can bet your a*s I’m going to be rereading this for ages.

I got the answer to the riddle correct, I'm so proud of myself (I mean, I've red this before but still. haha)

It is so much more interesting reading about Rigel rather than reading about she-who-must-not-be-named's version of Harry Potter because in this book Rigel has other goals outside of the main plot line, whereas original Harry just go with whatever is thrown at him. Rigel is more relatable and and over-all fascinating character to read about, and I wouldn't be able to NOT cheer for her, even if I tried.
