![]() ![]() ![]() This is easily one of the funniest stories I've ever read you put a lot of effort into the details and it's a joy to read. I'm glad I came back and gave it another read |
![]() ![]() I'm dying reading this. I'm laughing so hard I might piss myself this is the funniest thing I've ever read You are a genius |
![]() ![]() ![]() Render the second task moot. I would think he would be guard Kneazle over Ginny if he thought her in danger... maybe have him taken out via busted eardrum? Kneazles have sensitive hearing don’cha know. |
![]() ![]() ![]() The idea of a snake talking with a british, or even an Australian accent is something I will cherish. |
![]() ![]() Robst is a great writer for soul bound flicks. |
![]() ![]() Please forgive the disjointedness of my review. It’s late and I’m tired, especially of autocorrect making bizarre changes to it.. I enjoyed your story. You excel at providing the perfect blend of spoken dialogue, internal dialogue, action and description. I loved the darker version of Neville. I found him more believable than the Neville we saw I canon. I could see how Draco’s more vicious than we saw in canon comments about Neville’s parents would bring his anger bubbling to the surface. He should have been more angry in canon, taking in consideration Neville’s tactless, cold Gran’s constantly accusing him of failing to be his father reincarnated; his utterly horrible uncle’s abuse and heartbreaking visits with his insane parents. As you showed so well, it’s possible for Neville to be angry and lack self confidence. You did a fantastic Ginny. Loved her animagus form. I vastly preferred your way of showing Ron’s loyalty and bravery to Rowling’s. I vastly prefer your Ron versions of the twins were fantastic. I loved them finding the diary instead of Ginny, Your Bill and Charlie were good too. Your villains were good. Your Hagrid was pitch perfect. I greatly enjoyed the personalities of all the magical animals and their differing cultures. Your Lupin was very strong and sympathetic in spite of Harry’s initial dislike. I think Lupin would’ve felt threatened enough by Harry’s wolf comments to have had Dumbledore ask that Harry not tell his secret. Kneazle raised Harry was mostly a lot of fun. I loved Harry’s firm belief that he was a kneazle who could change into a human with strong kneazle values, such as a belief in Egyptian gods and goddesses, I wonder why you chose Isis for the kneazle patroness deity instead of the cat-headed goddess Bast or the lion-headed goddess Hathor though. Here are the other things I felt needed improvement. I thought Harry’s streaking and bursting in on naked girls got overdone as well as his disrespectful attitude that often crossed the line into nastiness toward McGonagall especially. Snape, Binns, Quirrell, Lockhart. Dumbledore and the school bullies all did things to provoke Harry to disrespect them. Although his reactions to these men were over the top, they were in character for his age and background. The lack of provocation should have resulted in commensurately less hostility toward his other teachers. I preferred the moments in which McGonagall made Harry understated human culture by explaining it in feline terms why and how Harry should behave the way she asked. I enjoyed the humor. It’s why I enjoyed the story most when his conflicts were caused by his lack of familiarity with human culture, such as his hilarious, continual bewilderment about the house needed to be more than just bossy. Often you just told her good points instead of showing them the way you did with most of the other characters. She and Ginny would’ve figured out Harry was an animagus very quickly too. I read your explanation for Molly slapping Harry and still side with your beta reader. Molly can be rude, presumptuous, controlling, over protective, loud and overbearing much of the time, but not violent. If she were, the twins would have died well before Hogwarts. If I had seven kids, two of which prone to blowing up the house daily because they thought it was funny, I would have an attitude problem too. I also found Molly’s attitude toward kneazles out of character. She let her children sleep with a rat and tolerated the elderly family owl that regularly skidded across the dinner table to deliver mail. She’s not fussed about animals. You also need a beta reader just for grammar errors. I am aware of the difference between British and American grammar and spelling. Your errors aren’t due to that. Some seem to be due to you changing your mind about what you wanted to say but not completely editing out the first version. I am guilty of that too. All in all your story was an excellent read. You have a lot of talent. I hope |
![]() ![]() ![]() Dumb |
![]() ![]() ![]() This is really dumb there is no consiqurnses for doing this awful |
![]() ![]() ![]() Such a fun story! Not your typical AU HP story. 'McGiggles' just cracked me up! |
![]() ![]() ![]() I stumbled upon this story and I am so glad I did! Very AU, but refreshing and funny! Great writing, so witty! |
![]() ![]() ![]() It's really getting frustrating how close the story stays to cannon despite the this Harry being vastly different. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I don't buy that they'd take the kneazle with them |
![]() ![]() ![]() "Thought you wouldn't open a book before coming?" Harry answers 2 out of 3 questions correctly and this is still what an snape says. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Seems to be trying to force events to follow cannon when they shouldn't. Why you decided he needs to be friends with Ron is beyond me. And Harry listening to crackpot? Cats don't do as they're told. Harry SHOULD have ignored him and visited Ginny anyway. |
