Gosh I think I started reading this fic somewhere back in highschool and I always looked forward to getting the updates, the complexity of the characters, the writing, never failed to blow me away. I discovered the email just the other day forgotten in my inbox and devoured the last couple of chapters. The final battle between Pharaoh and the Spirit was really incredible! I thought for sure he Pharaoh was going to lose; you really had me on the edge of my seat lol. And the ending with Bakura discovering his inner spirit... It was beautiful and felt very poetic for his character. I'm glad I got to read the ending of this story, thank you so much for writing it ️️️

I logged into my old email and saw that you'd busted out a ton of chapters and finished this so I wanted to drop by and give you a huge kudos and appreciation for completing this. I truly have an insane amount of respect for your commitment to seeing this through over such a long time. I admit, it's been...about 15 years since I actively read hp/ygo crossovers and I read so many that I don't remember what yours was about specifically (though the premise still is sparking my interest lol), but someday I may rekindle that crossover love and read the oldies and the goodies and I'll be able to come back and leave a proper review of the content. Until then I wanted to recognize the efforts you made to do this! Absolutely incredible thank you

I can't believe you returned when I wasn't looking. I really had given this fic up for dead. But, it made for a pleasant surprise to peruse the Yu-Gi-Oh! & Harry Potter crossover section, after, apparently, several years, to find that not only had this updated, but it had even been completed!
I'll reread it later. I think I remember what was going on well enough...

I don't think I ever left a review before. Oh, well.

That was a great end to an amazing story! I enjoyed every part of the ride and how everyone was in the end just trying to figure themselves out.

Maybe there could be an epilogue where it just ties up some loose ends like how the wizarding world now knows about yugi bakura and their strange powerful magic, but not about the items so will they need to complete school or are they pardoned and considered adults now like the weasely twins. Or will they explain everything to harry ron and hermione before parting?

Huge congrats for finishing the story! I thought the Pharaoh v Bakura duel was fantasticthose things are SO hard to write, but both of them had legitimate strategies, lots of drama, and a really believable come-from-behind victory for the Pharaoh. It stays close to the actual rulescards with the right amount of anime logic and excitement! Plus, I loved the ending for Ryou. It was so great to see him find his own kind of strength.

I don’t have much else to say about this, as I can’t remember anything that happened before the recent updates started… but I have so much respect for you for seeing the project through after all this time. And I’m looking forward to reading the whole thing from the beginning!

bah i guess ryou is better than i thought. better than me in any case. but then yugi didnt actually leave. ha. i was expecting them to all leave but i fergot about the dementors. i didn’t think there would be so many of them. that chapter was a BEAST to read. it was enjoyable.

i mean, i kind of expected him to lose. bakura was always made the butt of the joke in the whole show even though he turned out to be the pharaoh’s greatest enemy and part of his past out of them all. winning against everyone else but just can’t seem to beat that darned pharaoh. i mean, hey, it would be ironic if he DID win but it wasn’t a shadow game, just to show yami that he COULD win, but not with his life on the line LOL. this was a great chapter (aside from my baby being banished). i had a feeling that yami would be forced to leave ryou behind (because again, butt of the joke, short end of the stick). hopefully this will show ryou yami only endangers his life when it comes to joey ;D and stop relying on them to come save him every time. bakura’s words might ring true in his head, after all.

That battle was crazy! Poor bakura give the boy a break

Thanks for the chapter, I am looking forward to reading more

I just learned that Osiris' English dubbed name was given for the 4Kids executive producer Roger Slifer, and I am even more disgusted by them than I was before. which says a lot considering how much I already hated them.

if you can see the animal trying to eat you's spine and ribs, you aren't 'next on the menu', you're the only thing on the menu.

yeah, considering his name I'd be surprised if Ryou was originally intended to be British. I just assumed one parent was Japanese and had married into Britain.

is it bad that i want bakura to finally win. XD i’m tired of yami always winning the matches. it’s every time and in every story. like, give him a break, lol.

anyway, glad you updated. i was almost ready to send another review to poke at you or something. this chapter felt a little bystander-y, but eh, bakura has always liked making everything into a show. waiting anxiously for the next update.

overreacting to things is one of Ron's base personality traits.

is it late October already? Charms class is already at that part of the curriculum, so it must be.

Trelawney looks like some sort of monstrous insect?
