Upon reading the first chapter, it had seemed that the Adams family was just innately powerful, due to whatever dark hijinx they were up to. I found that idea very lame, not helped by the fact I've always found the concept of the Adams family extremely stupid.

However, the wrinkle you added makes them more than plausible in this world's context, as being the result of the most extreme case of inter-species breeding the planet has seen. It nicely accounts for the large amounts of abilities they have, and for the drastically odd life philosophies.

Quirrel's reaction to the stone was great. As were the burns upon the DH ending of Harry's life.

Well done.

OMG the tale of Wednesday and Harry committing to one another was oddly one of the most romantic things I've ever read!

I did not know what to make of the first chapter, as I don't know the Addams family all that well. After this chapter, it makes a lot more sense. This looks like fun.

Great chapter mate, loving the story a lot, very funny as well. I like the Teacher Meeting, where they learned about the family.

I like how the Addams Family handled Lucius.

I like how Harry, Wednesday, Pugsley and Hermione got the Stone, and Hermione realized that she has a lot to learn.

I like the flash back.

I do hope you do more then four years, it would be fun.

PLEASE update soon

Excellent story and chapter. The unique spin you put on each concept makes them your own. A rather special skill for a writer.

"I go to school alone, make a few friends, get betrayed by authority figures, lose people I let into my heart, and then I die, and win, and end up in a dull marriage with stupidly named children. It’s a life full of pain, suffering and misery."

This almost makes me think you read the 6th and 7th books, or at least the summaries. Can't say I ever finished DH either.

Thank you for writing.

The dichotomy in Harry and Wednesdays chosen fates is beautiful. Instead of everything they would ever want, which would be boring, and therefor painful, thus making it perfect, is sacrificed to each other so that they can instead hurt each other together forever. Absolute gold.

Ive not commented on your stories before, though Ive read a good number of them and enjoyed them all. But I felt this particular plot device deserved its own recognition for its hysterical genius. A wonderful capture of the Addams philosophy. I look forward to the rest of the Tales.

Great start to the story mate, through I would have liked to see what happened before they got to Hogwarts. I like the sorting, and how the Hat reacted to the Addams. lol - oh I love what happened to Harry.

Draco should learn that Wednesday, Pugsley and Harry, aren't people to cross. I like how Wednesday handled him, and what Harry and Wednesday did afaterwards.

I like how the three reacted, to the Troll incerdent.

I hope you do another Addams Family crossover, that you have Wednesday, Pugsley and Harry's PoV, with the pairings of Harry/Wednesday.

Oh, a comment about Crookshanks. This story is AU and Herm's parents bought her a cat when they went to Diagon Alley and Crooks did eat Scabbers.
That forces you to think of some other way to get Sirius out of jail, if you want to get him out.

Vongsawat posted a comment on Friday 8th August 2008 10:45am

the last bits there were a tad.. weird..
i know the Addams are strange but their entire mindset is too extreme for me to get a comfortable grip on. I can get a grip on the pain pleasure thing but while of the rest, living in extremes and despising normality and content while i can understand the meaning and theory of it, i just cant encapsulate it with any sort of success into my imagination of the characters of Wednesday and Harry. especially 9yr old Wednesday and Harry.
and the 6th (or was it 7th?) year who spoke out like that during the speech seemed a tad unrealistic methinks. shouldve stuck with something along the lines of everyone realizing it and agreeing that the Addams were on a whole new plane of scary rather than make the 6th yr make a speech of it. i mean, anything longer than a one-liner when you counter the Headmaster is a bit too much =/
anyways, loved the fic as a whole and found it very enjoyable indeed ^^ while the exploration of the mindset of the Addams was interesting, i think it could have been woven alot better into the story. should have been woven alot better into the story. the how is probably a lot more difficult =p as it is the mindsets so stated by 9yr old children of all things is a tad too jarring and jolts the fic outside of the boundaries of acceptable-ness. too brash and in-your-face. the fact that such realizations were afforded to them ffrom 4-9yrs old gives a bad reaction i think as children of that age are to be seen as the epitome of innocence (well, limited innocence) and the stark contrast between the childlike facade of the 4-9yr olds against the insane mindset of the Addams' family is just too much. it wouldve been more acceptable if the current Harry and Wednesday had said it, albeit not as explicitly, or better yet Morticia and Gomez.
still, loved the fic. theres not enough HP/Addams crossover fics out there ^^ though i still think Family Values is a lot better than this one. just my honest opinion.

I was worried about the fact that Harry and the Addams seemed so super-powerful and was thankful that you were going to advance the story through the years quickly to offset SuperHarry part.

If this story continues in the manner and quality it has started I see myself bookmarking it so I can quickly check it out once a month or so for a nice fluffy, hilarious read. For a request, I hope that you do something significant involving the Fleur character trying to get Harry's attention since Snape implied Harry and Wednesday have at least part Veela blood in them. Obviously Harry wouldn't respond to the attempt, but would be nice to see the couples reaction to the Veela.

Keep up the amazing work, can't wait for the rest.

Fabulous!
I am really loving this story, although it can be a little creepy. Keep it coming. Addams rock!

FireFairy posted a comment on Friday 8th August 2008 6:07am

Wow...great chapter! I love this story and i can't wait for the second year!

Viridian posted a comment on Friday 8th August 2008 5:40am

That bit at the end was highly disturbing... as well as mesmerisingly thought-provoking.

Great work using Hermione as the expository stalking-horse. Her questions and their answers are much more elegant than flashbacks or the outsider commentary.

If I could critique anything, it's the using of more telling than showing - especially during the teacher meeting.

I also chuckled at the canon-snark with Harry's 'original destiny'.

Again, great work on this VERY different story!

Wow, you have really caught the quirkiness and awesomeness of the Addams' here, and the way this is sound is so good. I like how Hermione is slowly making her way into the family. OTOH, I will be curious to see what happens in second year, with Ginny, the diary and the Bassilisk, and what this might mean, maybe it'll get transported back to the family home? I really enjoyed the relationship Harry and Wednesday have, one of such tremendous feeling that it's just a joy to read.

Yet another enjoyable chapter.

I enjoy Pugsly's development, both in his dealings with Hermione (as the Royal Herald) and in procuring a cannon out of nowhere to fix a problem.

Your Hermione is again an excellent character. Even though I cringe at what she does this year, I realize that it is only First Year and she has yet to flower into the character you usually make her into at 7th Year.

And your wonderful portrayal of Wednesday made it seem out of character when she actually did smile, thought circumstance where she did were totally appropriate.

That was the most fun I have seen throwing around Crucio's in fanfiction. I can just imagine Morticia and Wednesday... shuddering...

As you mention, this does seem to be a "get through the first year so the meat can happen" chapter. I will reserve judgement on the pacing of the story until the story is complete.

All in all, another wonderful bit.

Thanks for uploading it!

It's interesting to see Dumbledore's challenges through the eyes of the Addams - cold logic, and an absolute lack of fear. That staff conference showed depth in the adults as well. As you said, Draco and many other students are going to be deeply affected by what the Addams did to Lucius.

I especially enjoyed the conversation between Pugsley and Hermione. This story is so intriguing and different. It's rapidly becoming one of my favorites.
