i see where you're coming from. Harry feels a lot older than he actually is in this story. I had to make him more mature, for the story to work, but at his core he's an idealistic 11 year old thrown into the deep end. Ben Parker is also his role model, a man who is a soldier, but also lives his life to help people. It wouldn't work for his character to suddenly be ok with taking lives. It needs to be something he struggles with, and something he will avoid doing, at least until he is put in a situation where there is absolutely no other choice, and no way to delay making that choice. My plan is to make the aftermath of taking a life a major point of his character development.

at this point there isn't one. It will be some time when/if it happens. I'm still considering that, but it if there is a romantic interest it won't be one of the characters that have already been introduced

harry is a first year, 11 years old

I have never watched troll hunters, but now i think I should

the story will eventually expand beyond Harry Potter canon mainly because voldemort won't have the same threat level to Harry as in he books

i'll admit I didn't think that far ahead on it. Lets assume he gets a discount as a ministry worker :)

thank you :)

she's referring to how Voldemort died when she was a child. the curse rebounding and giving her a scar. the thing i wanted to convey with Glory is that she's been gassed up by everyone for so long that she actually believes she's the second coming of merlin. when she starts her first year of hogwarts we'll see what happens when she forced to confront reality

thank you :) I agree, the study group storyline is way too drawn out. Looking back at it now I should have planned it out better, but I have a bunch of converging storylines that need to happen, and fixing it now would require a major re-write. I've cut out some of the sub plots I had planned, but the story has turned the corner we are nearing the end of the first year and the big confrontation with the study group.

thanks :) there are some big revelations coming over the next few chapters that will soon wrap up the order of set storyline, and setup Dumbledore's fall, but it won't be fast or easy. Dumbledore, in my story at least is the most successful dark lord in history and still has a few cards to play. I hope you enjoy what comes next
