I thought this was really interesting. I had always thought it would be Muggleborns like Hermione inspiring integration with the muggle world but I like that you made Dudley the catalyst. I also liked that you made Dudley fight for his relationship with Harry. I hope you’ve made progress with a sequel because I’ll definitely want to read it!

I quite like this story so far. But it strikes me as quite odd that Dudley would be so open about how he treated Harry. I can’t imagine him not being ashamed of it if that’s what the dementor showed him about himself. But otherwise I like that Dudley is learning to interact with the Wizarding world.

I am really enjoying your story. I never thought I would say this, but I love Dudley. His self reflection really saved him from hi self. He now has a chance to be a healthier, kinder man and can really make an impact if he does become a social worker.

I love that Dudley is finally taking responsibility for his actions and is trying to become a better man.

Great first chapter! I am glad that Dudley decided to grow up and become more mature than both of his parents combined.

I love the premise of the story and how Dudley's character is evolving, but... how the heck does Mrs. Figg know about the horcruxes?

Luna is in Ravenclaw

Luna's in Ravenclaw, not Hufflepuff.

This was a brilliant piece! I have read some other Dudley tries to atone stories only to find them rushed and unrealistic. Your story on the other hand is very realistically written, and absolutely smashing. Dudley is very well portrayed, and his interactions with other wizards very enthralling. I cannot wait to read the sequel.

What a wonderful introduction to the magical world for a muggle. I am pleased that you were able to give the Minister of Magic ways muggle technology could benefit the magical world and visa versa. Good job on bringing back characters from the books that Dudley had met and promoting Arthur.

I just found the third story in this series and decided to read them in order. It is well written and I am glad you are developing Dudley's character. I, too, am drawn to the second and third string characters in these books because they play such supporting roles.

I really like the person Dudley is turning into despite having Vernon and Petunia for parents. I do hope he and Harry will be able to have a close relationship.

I always figured the Dementors caused Dudley to see himself as he really was; an overweight, mean, dumb bully rather than the perfect child Vernon and Petunia always claimed he was.

Fun story but in Dudley was not a too good student getting into York would be impossible.
