Lsheehy7 chapter 82 . 10/29
The whole story is mind boggling amazing! I need to wait to start the next one, but I'm not sure I can. The truth is that your fabulous tale has been a necessary and frequent escape from reality which inadvertently also led to loss of sleepI can't wait to check out your website too!

Engrossing! I have spent the last three hours reading after stumbling across your tale. Chapter 10 beckons but I feel the need to move or else the day would be spent happily lost in your entrancing tale that so accurately captures two of many favorite series. Thank you for your excellent craft! (I keep taking screenshots of your notes to follow up later

Is it stubbornly and desperately clinging to the name John that has led to the dehumanization of Watson? Poor dear, neither male or female nor able to enjoy the benefits of either. Supposedly a main character yet reduced to being a non entity and paired with Holmes who further dehumanizes her through detachment. Does Holmes see her as a masculine friend but not acknowledge her femininity? Her character is so bogged down. If authors can write Harriet Potter, why can't she simply be Joan Watson?

Watson should sue for character assassination. The awkward, ridiculous, cumbersome attempt to justify the name John had overwhelmed and overshadowed her as a person. If there are authors bold enough to write about Harriet Potter, surely you could get off the fence and write about feminine Joan Watson instead of

Harry (the younger) who is Harry the older?
Guest chapter 3 . 9/11
For years, WITH no contact with Harry, he planned on unleashing untoward and barely justifiable hatred upon James Potter's Spawn. TEN years of noble work...He worked on the hatred to make sure it wouldn't fade. Then it just went away...
Then Potter went missing, SO what...he had effectively been missing for 10 years, and Snape didn't know he was missing, Severus was left in a limbo? NO different than the other 9 years. his hatred disintegrating from the double blows of lost objective...NO more lost than previous years...and crushing sense of failure? WHAT failure? only kept at bay due to the lack of conclusive evidence of Harry Potter's death. Only two days ago he'd learned Potter was alive and due to Hogwarts as previously scheduled, and Severus hadn't worked up his hatred to acceptable levels yet. But he was confident he'd be ready by start of term. Noble goal indeed.

This website has permanently locked me out, so I will say this here and hope you respond where I can get your answer. This story is one of my favorite crossovers of all time, not just for the way you integrate the worlds, but the way you pry into things like why certain potions are brewed certain ways and how the world religions factor into wizardry. I’ve been looking for it for ages and finally found it again.
I run a YouTube channel called Listening Fanfiction and would very much like to add this to my repertoire. May I? You can give me an answer on my channel. If you can’t find me by name, try searching for “ The Marriage Stone” and I should pop up in the search results. I await your answer.

God what a disappointment. So much build up only to throw it all away.

Accidentally embalmed. Lmao.

Harry's name is LEGALLY Harry Watson, isn't it? And he self identifies as Harry Watson, despite going by Harry Potter to appease the idiots in the magical world.

And magic is at least semi-sentient, so it's not going to accept Harry Potter when Harry Potter self identifies as Harry Watson.

"A ball of anger, malice, and hurt" is one way to say an irredeemable dickhead.

Too many people give Snape far too much credit. The guy is a teaching official who harasses eleven-year-olds to such a degree that one such student's greatest fear was him. He also justifies this attitude towards another student by saying that student's father bullied him when he was a child.

And that's without even addressing the fact that he willingly joined the Death Eaters and would've happily remained a Death Eater if it weren't for the fact that Harry was the one Voldemort decided the prophecy referred to. He would've stood back and let Neville, Alice, and Frank die without a second thought. Hell, he was more than willing to let James and Harry die - with his only concern being Lilly.

He is a monster.

What is the point of changing ANYTHING if everything always ends the same way anyway? Come on.

I feel the need to point out just how pathetic it is that Harry was strong-armed into going back to those classes. Lockhart doesn't deserve respect or kindness, and his joke of a class certainly doesn't deserve to be attended by any human being.
Guest chapter 20 . 4/14
How the hell did someone as incompetent as Voldemort or any of his followers (and yes, I'm calling them incompetent - as books 1 through 4 proof without a shadow of a doubt they are; Rowling might've ignored that when books 5 through 7 happened, but you can never forget that those books happened and his servants were so laughably incompetent as to be trumped by children time and time again) ever manage to defeat someone capable of creating over a hundred clones of herself?

Clones that she could have maintained for HOURS at a minimum?

So Julia's ended up with the diary then, huh?
