Reviews for The Closer You Look
SleepingFox09 chapter 16 . 10/9
This story feels like a descent into a spiral of madness, and I love it. It’s such a shame that it’s been abandoned. Thank you so much for writing it :)
Dyspaiir chapter 16 . 7/24
Cant wait to read the next chapters! Love the way harry uses magic
FateUnknown chapter 16 . 3/9
“The Halcyon days are back,” what a COMPLETE AND UTTER FUCKING LIE! YOU COME BACK AND THEN LEAVE FOR A NOTHER (some) 3 YEARS!

In a more serious note, I just binge read, and it has to be one of the best stories I’ve ever read, comparative to A Cadmean Victory, or Harry Potter and the methods of rational.
Solstice07 chapter 1 . 2/29
This has been the most hilarious 4 hours of my month, excellent writing. You manage to make Harry hilarious af without going in any sort of edgelord or superiority directions, his intersections with Sirius, McG, Pomphrey and especially Daphne are fricking awesome. And while on that subject, THIS IS THE BEST ICE QUEEN DAPHNE I'VE READ. Now I just wish and pray for more people to write unapologetically stone face Daphne and make it hilarious af. Her and Harry's first meeting during DADA will live rent free in my mind. I think you were going in depth into her backstory too with the "I hear my mother too" dialogue but alas, we may never know. Also, I don't know whether to curse you or send you a gift for introducing Fleur in the last fu*king chapter. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and would probably pay you to write more lol. Thanks for writing this mate!
Solstice07 chapter 7 . 2/29
Man I haven't laughed this hard in like months. Whyyyy did you have to give us a taste of something so delicious and then take it away? I'm really getting sad while going through the story because I know it isn't complete. THIS IS SO FRICKING GOOD, first year stories are generally very hard to right and most writers write children like 40yo philosophers, you seem to pull it off effortlessly. The humour, damn I was laughing for 2 minutes straight during the McG scene, my mom was staring at me as if I'd gone mad. The fate of Pettigrew might've been the best things that has ever been done with him in a story. Thanks for giving us this absolute gem!
Solstice07 chapter 3 . 2/29
I was interested in the story after the first chapter, cautiously optimistic of finding a gem after the 2nd one and now you've managed to make me obsessed about this fic. I'm damn sure I'm going to spend my day devouring this intead of studying lol. I would pay to see Malfoy's reaction on a picture.
NathanPeverell chapter 16 . 2/19
ah well, once more it has been years, still let us pray, it's a brilliant story and I'd love to see where it could go
Aracus92 chapter 16 . 2/11

Guessing the author dropped this
Nitxsua chapter 16 . 10/13/2023
I adore this story so much. It's funny, I initially thought of dropping it at around chapter 6 or 7 ish because it didn't seem to have a real moving plot, it was just things happening without a real roadmap. Continuing was an absolute blessing. This is fantastic character driven writing, I love every single characterization so much, and if I ever get around to writing the fics bouncing around in my head, I know I'll use this work as a lesson in how I want to feel when reading my characters. It's been an absolute pleasure.
zirfala chapter 16 . 9/24/2023
I pray for an update
AshalaWolf chapter 16 . 9/21/2023
I live in perpetual hope that this will one day be updated. This has one of the most interesting explanations for magic that I've seen.
Guest chapter 16 . 9/10/2023
PLEASE UPDATE.
Hank55 chapter 16 . 9/4/2023
One of the best fanfiction I have read and, like all of those great fanfics this too went on a hiatus.
*Sigh*
Nonetheless, I hope that you will update it in the future and believe me at least a thousand people are looking forward to it.
