Reviews for Harry and Luna Against the High Inquisitor |
---|
![]() ![]() ![]() Yay! Glad to see you're back on the case with this story. No surprise that Luna saw through 'Polly' - and the conversation between her and Molly was good. I feel sorry for Hermione being left out, though. Hope you've got a good ending for this story - when the time comes. I'm keen to see where you take the plot in comparision to OoTP. One thing that annoyed me about the books is that Umbridge was never seen to be really punished for her ways by anyone (we're left to imagine what the centaurs did) - and having her on trial in a court scene would be good. Please keep up the good work! |
![]() ![]() ![]() I wasn't fond of this one. Almost a year and a half since the last chapter. It was shorter than the rest, you decided to put 'The Talk' in there twice. Not liking this one. Hoping the next chapter will be better. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Great chapter, can't wait for more. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Great start, it's interesting to see things from a delusional sycophant's perspective. |
![]() ![]() ![]() This is one of the best stories i've read about harry and luna. Keep us updated, please :) |
![]() ![]() ![]() I just caught up with this fic and Protection From Nargles in the past two days, and I'm very impressed. It's difficult to find well-written HP fanfiction at all, much less Harry/Luna fics, and this is easily one of my favorite slightly-AU fics. It reads fairly normal[although omitting large parts of the year, of course] with the change of Harry and Luna being a couple. Definitely worth a read, and I can't wait for more! |
![]() ![]() ![]() This is simply brilliant and I enjoy this Ron immensely definitely reminds me of the canon Ron hope he stays with Lavender this time though. I was laughing my ass off how Harry & Ron confronted those "ladies" on how those stank girls were treating Luna. Kind of reminds how I believe James and Sirius probably acted while they were in school. Cool, funny, but dangerous at the same time, protect your own. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Ooh this very good!:) I can't wait for more! :D |
![]() ![]() ![]() Loved the new chapter! Thank you so much for updating. I can't wait for more! |
![]() ![]() ![]() I really think that you've nailed Luna's character in this story. She still has her animals and theories, and comes across as a little crazy, but you also give her the insight and directness that made everyone fall in love with her to start with. You don't take any of the cop-outs, like making her a seer, putting on an act, or using the animals as a defense mechanism. I really think it just works so well for her, and I've enjoyed how Harry has naturally changed as a result of increased exposure. I am still waiting for him to snap and kill Umbridge though. Resisting physical and psychological torture is one thing, and I can see Harry being decent at that. Threats to incarcerate him and Luna in a mental institution though? And if he couldn't come up with any better counter-plans? Yeah, I'd be thinking of rather desperate alternatives at this point. |
![]() ![]() Haven't even read this latest chapter yet, but had to express my delightful surprise when I clicked this story on my favorites tab, and saw chapters-16 on the summary. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I might have said some of this a ways back, but excuse me while I gush. I can't adequately express how much I enjoy your story. I just finished rereading it before the new chapter. I only started reading Harry Potter fanfic recently, but I have never found anything like yours and really should have more favorites. It made me fall in love with Luna. I find her personality and quirks are hard to get right, but this is the gold standard. And the relationship is endearing and cute beyond compare. Not only that but the world you portray is fully realized. It has many subtle details to pick apart. It's intellectual. There's a realism to it and gives depth canon never fully explains or only hints at, and it is done masterfully. Certainly, there's still the nonsensicalness and disconnect from the muggle world. Still with a bit of whimsy but it makes sense. The dialogue, banter, and writing in general flow nicely and are quite funny at times. The changes to canon are small, but may have far reaching consequences. And your portrayal of young love does much to correct for the injustices seen the original story from my perspective. The exploration and behind the scenes of more minor characters was wonderful - umbridge, lavender, Filius, xeno, etc. The wizarding world's relationship with muggle government and advances is creative. The new crypto animals Luna mentions are inspired. The mentions of an international wizarding world. I don't know how you're going to deal with the heavier topics and scenes harry will face later on and where it's going to end, but I'm sure Luna will make it more hopeful and the burden lighter. I'm sure there are many specifics I can heap praise upon, but know that I truly enjoy and appreciate the story. |
![]() ![]() Ok, that was almost worth the wait. I laughed so many times. Especially liked "Maybe she's a woman of action and not words. She is a Gryffindor, you know." I almost snorted my pop up my nose. The talks were delightfully awkward, thank god mom never had the talk with me. You know it's nice to see why exactly Luna is in Ravenclaw, to see how clever and quick she is. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I actually had to reread everything to remember what happened. It's been a long time. It was a nice surprise, though. I hope you continue. The Talks were very funny. I liked Luna's more because it's always fun to see her bewilder people. Molly Weasley was definitive the more uncomfortable of the two. Thank you for the update. |
![]() ![]() ![]() YAY! New chapter! Poor Harry and Ron, having to receive the Talk again! |
