Very interesting concept. I personally find Harry's fourth year to be the most interesting and the point in his life where he can actually make a difference. I like you bringing in two little-used characters and giving us a taste of something different. (Thank you for not using Ginny Weasley! She gives me the creeps.) Looking forward to the next update. Thanks for sharing your work. Most appreciated.

Nice setup so far.

Hope you're going to explain how Alastor apparently survived an AK.

Clever use of the elves.

Looking forward to more.

Great new story! Liking it so far, and I'm looking forward to more. Good job.

Nice story so far. On a side note, even though the story is nowhere along those lines, whenever I read the title I get the image of an HP crack fic where Harry's character is the same as Zoolander's and the power he knows not is Magnum. And then reviewing the thought I wonder what the hell is wrong with me.

Nice new story.

Looking forward to see it evolve.

Thank you for writing.

Great start. I especially like making the Goblet something really unusual to explain why it can force people.

Excellent!

I did like the personal hygene angle; I know I've smelled some rather ... fragrant ... people in the ladies' locker room at the gym, and as for the guys: 'nuff said!

A house elf rebellion? Cool... waiting for the next chapter!

I'm waiting for Hogwart's Dawn, but this was a sweet and juicy surprise in the meantime. You do tend to find new ways to do things, you even make Angst worth reading (like a cat in a bag), but i love these types of stories from you.

Overpowered Harry can be too much, but yours are just right, not trying to make incredible epics, just trying to make a life for Harry in the most entertaining ways possible.

I like the way Astoria is the smart one here, usually people have Daphne as smart and powerful, with Astoria the cute younger sister. You turned that on it's head in the best way, and the addition of Romilda is another surprise. Romilda is rarely used other than as a love potioner, or as a girlfriend for Ron to get him out of the way, so congratulations on finding another way to portray her.

While i'm drooling in anticipation for Hogwarts Dawn, this new story is drawing my attention as well. I read it twice before commenting, and love the fact there is so much already written.

Thanks for the inspiration and entertainment you have given through this and your other works.

This is a great begining to an exceptional story. I really like that you have brought in two realtivly minor characters and made them into very important parts of the plot, I can't wait to see what's next.

You've totally captured my imagination. I love the slant you've put on house elves and can't wait to see what comes next. Thank you for the day brightener.

Very interesting, I do not believe I have seen a fic with quite this take on the GOF. Well written and I quite thoroughly enjoyed it. looking forward to reading the rest when you post it. I have also really enjoyed the Hogwart's Dawn fic. Keep up the good work.

Good.

Looking forward to the next chapter.

Woooo! :D I'm liking the exploration of magic in this - gypsy curses, adding some sense to nonsensical canon things... can't wait for the next chapter!

Hey Clell, the clue for how Moody survived is in the cracked fake leg... ;)

gadriam posted a comment on Sunday 21st September 2014 9:04am

Wonderful work.

As for the storyline itself, doesn't it seem like only under very specific circumstances, that just has to be engineered, can the repeated stupidity of Canon occur? I just adore stories where simple changes turns everything on its head. Sure, this time you introduced two intriguing characters, and once again Harry is insanely powerful. As he should be, according to the third book. Still, he gets believed by a rare few sane people. A small change that would have made all the difference.

I've stopped trying to predict your stories. I just enjoy the ride.

Thanks

Fun. Smart. Engaging. I loved the addition of these two younger girls into the mix, and I love your interpretation of thier personalities. A 'Harry Potter living up to his best potential' story has always been one of my favorites. I noticed you haven't said much to Ron, yet. I'm looking forward to that, as well as really looking forward to any more of your writing. Thanks.
