I'm so so glad Harry is getting advice in hoe to handle the media. It's disgusting Dumbledore as hos mentor never stepped in to help.

I have read this...few months back...felt one of the best fics i have read here...and i gave myself few months and came back to read again...

you did NOT just bastardize who’s on first

Unreal. This guy-or-girl author smacktalks himself in the authors notes before the story even starts and then writes one of the most formidable first chapters/epilogues on this website.
I'll read it all and I'm confident it will get even better.

I was reluctant to read this story mainly because the name is so terrible. "Harry Potter and the International Triwizard Tournament"? the TWT is by definition international, there's no need to add it, and besides, so many other fics focus on the TWT, so the name doesn't give you any real idea about the story. It's just so unimaginitive, which is really not a good trait for an author.

The summary tells us that this story is supposed to have complexity of character and maturity, and yet the first chapter has everyone (especially Ron) acting super retarded and evil, just for the sake of drama. Zero subtlety in their portrayal. Not a good start unless you're going for an angst fic where they all get their comeuppance later (they didn't; Harry completely forgot how much of a cunt McGonagall was, and suddenly acts all chummy with the Puffs despite their harassment). Annoying, and definitely doesn't match the summary.
In general, the first third of this fic feels like a completely different story to the rest. It starts out with everybody hating Harry and making him leave their society, before suddenly everyone loves Harry and it becomes a magical telenovela. Really jarring.

The worst part was Fleur. Oh god, I hate her so much. Every Fleur fic just has to have so much excessive, corny, diabetes-inducing drama. Muh veela bond, muh veela mating, muh veela discrimination, boohoo, it's so hard being a hot girl, you just have to be my mate Harry because you're the first boy who has ever acted like a decent human being to me, etc etc. Sickening how she's whining about people only lusting after her looks, when she only starts giving a shit about Harry after he displays some power. Her cocky confidence in how hot and desirable she is just isn't attractive at all. What an insufferable character.

The other girls were pretty fucking annoying too. So much bullshit drama. They know they're in a love square and yet act butthurt whenever Harry gives attention to one of them instead of the other, acting like only they (girl X) should matter to him. At least 50% of the fic is just them whining and Harry trying to appease them, or angsting over how hard he has it, instead of just telling them to get along with each other or GTFO. But I suppose readers like to self-insert into a character that is fought over by three hot teenage girls. Very ego-inflating. I just skimmed all that shit but it was still really annoying.

So Harry's false-flag operation has caused the death of 50-odd people, yet he only cares because one of his advisors got caught in the crossfire? Wow, what a hypocritical asshole. Imagine how he would feel if one of those "collateral damage" was his ballerina gf. Congratulations, Harry, you just graduated to Dumbledore's "some of you may die but that's a sacrifice we're willing to make" class of douchebaggery.

You do get points for just killing Lucius, Skeeter, and disposing of Voldemort's support *before* he gets a chance to rise.

A lot of the scenes felt needlessly long and padded, to the point that I just started skimming all of Harry's repetitive thoughts and observations.

It's funny how authors like to write about the "pureblood elite" taking pride in the fact that they have a low-trust, cutthroat society that completely lacks any form of justice or cohesion. Instead of trying to change that, they just "play the game". How can anyone be proud of such a culture? Like yeah, no shit muggleborns would like to reform their society, who the hell would want to live in the kind of rotten society that gave rise to Voldemort? But, oh no, traditions must be kept, even if they are fucking horrible.

Aaaaaaaaand that's it.

Everyone in this fic but Dobby is either whiny (HP) or nasty (everyone else). Bailing. May return later if I develop a strong stomach.

The writing level here isn't an amateur level that you normally find in a fanfic. This is a professional work.

This is pretty good, Harry character is pretty realistic, he is stillma teenager boy but he is using his head. Embracing the fame instead of ignoring it could be very useful in the long run.

Man it must be pretty sad the feel of seeing someone who you considered important in your life is now betting to your death and laugh at that. Even jealousy has its limitations. Ron is a complete piece of garbage and human waste for doing that knowing that the same person risked his life to save his sister and never asked anything back.

man this thing is to goddammed complicated who is he actually anding up with i feel like harry has some type of emotional disorder or something like what is the actual fck is going on

I'm so confused, is there a chapter missing here? We were on the glowing grimoire and now suddenly we are on an Azkaban assault.

Also how do files like harry have and the padora bullshit family have? Like i expect there'll be brief summary or someshit explaining how it came to be fk ur fking hopeless mf

Shit happened here again../.. why cant u just flesh out the details during rather than making us guess what tf they're fkin talking makes me question ur sanity rlly

A gift to you ...

Fck ur habbits man fkcin skipping everything the next chapt. It messes everything kinda loss the feeling of reading eagerly. Making it mysterious and shit just damages it

What a story! Overall I really enjoyed this take on the Tournament year. Lots of interesting magic, and you wrote all the relationships and intrigue well. These two extra bits were nice little looks into their life after. Well done and thanks for sharing!
