fallingsword
It is almost impossible to find an amazingly creative and original twist on a very prominent and well-known story. It's quite nice to finally see one and I hope to God that it isn't dropped. This is by far my favorite fan-fiction I've read in a very long time. Remember to take constructive criticism to heart and remember it, but do not fall to the insults and jealousy that others will throw at you. I hope you will continue this novel as I can see the immense potential it contains, and I promise you it will take you to the top. Keep it up fallingsword, you are doing very well.
This was a nice connector between worlds of fiction and a type of reality. The segway was nice. It left me with a few questions that might make add to the story. In the first chapter, I wondered why Minerva decided to talk to the Dursleys instead compared to the original. I got the point that the character will likely change the story as he goes based on his memory, but I don't think I understood where the change suddenly came in. Although it was a better way of going for sure to try and build the trust of the Dursleys. As the new Harry sought to gain favour with the family we didn't really hear how Dudley was at 8 and how Harry and Dudley interacted. Did Harry attempt to build trust with Dudley as well even though it is alluded that he might be a bit of a nuisance? I liked the explanation of magic in this I wonder though with the original scene where Harry's magic started with the encounter with the snake where danger made the magic begin, despite the character's growth, is he using magic yet or just holding the power? Any way I am curious about where the story will go and how different it will be. Keep going. It seems like a good start.
Great story...keep it up!!! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
