Extremely entertaining. I'm very much looking forward to Second Year.

Whoa. What a trip! I am struck by this accomplishment. And to keep that edge on for however many words is remarkable. Not being a follower of the Addamses, I don't know how your story tracks on that score, but as the tale of a "Dark Harry," I can only say, Whoa! Looking forward to "Tales from the Second Year."

I was cackling at the line about 'stupidly named children' Great chapter! Creepy as all get out.

Loving the chapter :D Very much so indeed. And the disclaimer to the A/N ^_^
Thank you and your betas for all the work you did in getting this story to us. Very, very much appreciated.

I can't say I like this. The Adams characters overshadow everyone. They’ve already read the full 7 year curriculum, probably mastered numerous spells, the family know wards more capable than the Hogwarts wards — making their stay at Hogwarts much more of a 'look how much better/smarter/vicious’ we are show; co-starring side-show Voldemort.
One "plot hole". I doubt Snape's questions during the first class are from the 'seventh year' potions book, this since Hermione could answer them (in all likelihood she only had the first year potions book during the summer, and don’t tell me she read six potions books in the stressful time leading up to the first lesson).
Speaking of the perfect slythering I believe JRR pretty much intended that to be Tom Riddle; a decently powerful and charming young man full of ambition (The only downsides being the half blood thing and his tendency to gloat).

Amazing!
I had honestly forgotten how good some of your work is after the disaster that was Happily Ever After.
You have made me remember how much I liked the Adams family movies. Lovely combination.
Well done.

I didn't like it at all. It was well-written, of course, but it suffers from that same thing all the generic "omgsuperpow4rharry" fics suffer from. He has no challenges, and when the author tries to present any, they seem artificial and forced. They're only fun for a small amount of time to see what concepts the author thinks of, and then they're just trite and boring. I guess if, for whatever reason, you like reading fics where Harry isn't Harry and has no conflicts worth noting, then this is good. Otherwise? No thanks.

Excellent work as always. This is one crossover that I wouldn't have read if I actually read the author's notes beforehand, but you definately have a hook in there.
Oh, and I love how the Snape narrative comments turned out.

ROTFLMSAOPIMP!!!!!OMG and I thought that Ish needed therapy for even the concept, you did pass over a few things that could have added even more hilarity ti this fic but alas I do not have the mastery that you do so I will just enjoy.

I'm not sure I understand why you clarified about Fester vs Morticia smoking. She didn't say or do anything. Otherwise a brilliant chapter.
I wonder, though, why they have not tried to bind or summon or otherwise deal with Binns...though I guess the torture might actually be well looked upon.
Hermione didn't have a cat in first year. Alternate universe and all, but there doesn't seem to be a purpose for such a change.
I could *perhaps* excuse Dumbledore for trying to send the kids to their common rooms as doing something without thought, but once Harry had hinted at the stupidity of such an action...well...there really is no excuse.
Please continue.

hey, no translations for us non-polyglots?
And isn't "Lemon Drop" an americanism? I thought it was "Sherbet Lemon".
and yes, that's the most important think I can find to complain about. :-)
Very good macabre and yet funny.
thanks

So....Good.
I usually don't much like what you write, but this really has flair.
Good work!

Oh, my! At first I thought that Harry and Wednesday were really Gomez and Morticia, somehow transfigured, but after getting to the end of the chapter, I realize Harry is just emulating his father-figure, while Wednesday (as many daughters do) is (consciously or un) emulating Morticia.
Poor Draco... he has no idea just how stupid he really is, does he? Hopefully he will wise up a little before it's too late for him to survive. Since Ron isn't shown all that much, I can't really speculate on his survival, for many of the same reasons as Draco, hopefully he will learn a little more quickly.
And I really like your Pugsley; apparently having Harry as a sort-of-older brother (even though they are all in the same year) has had a beneficial influence on him.
Definitely looking forward to more of this, as your Muse and RL permit!

Funstuff so far. I can only imagine the mayhem to come. Keep up the good work! Thanks

I'm laughing so hard I think I've busted my stomach. This is perfection and I want to see more of it!

A really humourous start. Harry as "one of the family" is brilliantly written and makes a perfect foil for Wednesday. The charactersiation is so good you feel you know them all before you are half-way through the chapter. Draco's travails and the sense of purebloods dieing out fits in quite nicely.

That was the most fun reading I've had in quite some time!!!!!! The idea of Snape being more terrified of an 11 year old girl than he is of Voldie is priceless and makes this fic worth the read for that fact alone. I really can't wait to see where you take this!!! And I'm guessing by the title you plan on taking us through all 7 of Harry and Wednesday's years at Hogwarts.
Thanks for the enjoyment your work always provides.

Awesome! Truly awesome!
Some hilarious scenes.
If I didn't know better, I'd say Harry was a necromantic construct! Keep up the excellent work!
