Nasty little cliffy you left us.

You're almost making Snape a likeable character. No mean feat, that. Kudos for that.

As always, excellent writing. Not only on a mechanical level, but also in storytelling content.

> I will never look at vegetarians the same way
How very forboding. I can't help but notice just how thin Hermione's description of her time in New Jersey was. Good job, on multiple levels, for that.

> Ask Hermione to give you the book Wednesday gave her.
Hmm. That well could be part of the answer on exactly how Hermione is becoming indoctrinated so quickly. That whole conversation in AD's office is a masterpiece of stating the complete truth yet dancing around other truths. Brilliantly written.

One minor thing, and it may well be in character for an Addams: Harry's supreme apathy for Sirius's incarceration. Not really his concern, so that may be the answer, but it's also unjust, which may well be at least as important. As I said, though, this may well be inline with the Addams philosophy despite his link to both Harry and Remus.

Anyway, great chapter. Looking forward to the next.

I love this fic. Truly one of the most unique out there, and that's saying something because HP fics have become pretty repetitive over the years.

Harry needs an emblem. something for others to signify their allegiance to him with. Be it a pin or a marking on something they own. It would drive anyone not already on his side bonkers.

Can't wait till update.

Wonderful to see more of this series, Yet again, you turn many fan cliches on their heads, while at the same time putting a unique spin on others, and thereby produce something brilliant.

I must admit to confusion about the "Wednesday is not Pansy" comment, but I haven't read the comments that prompted it. If, as some other reviewers of this chapter have suggested, it's a reference to the idea of Wednesday accepting Ginny as Pansy did in WK,GQ, then I agree that it's unlikely with these characters; OTOH, there are possible hints that Harry and Wednesday think that Pugsley should take up with Ginny much as he has done with Hermione; that appeals to my sense of humour while keeping the H-W relationship as it should be.

Anyway, this is great and I look forward to seeing what comes next, though I am almost disappointed that we will see "that Harry and Wednesday [are] still human, and as such, capable of erring."

Wow, I have NEVER since the start of HP-fanfiction actually laughed about (or rather with) Severus Snape.

My hat is off to you. This chapter is everything I ever could expect from this story.

Only one tiny, teensy problem: I think the disposal of Gilderoy was a bit quick.

Oh well, now we just have to see who is going to fill in for him. And I am going to reread the prequel just because!

Respectfully yours, W00KY.

An excellent and well-thought out follow up to the first episode - I don't say 'chapter', 'episode' is a much better word for describing your work. As always, I continue to be impressed with the quality and readability of your work and look forward to another episode as soon as you produce it.

I don't believe in leaving reviews unless there's something useful to say. Because really, I know, myself, how nothing but an endless series of "I love it!" is annoying as hell.

However, I also firmly believe that credit should be given where it is due.

You are the only het author that I follow for Harry Potter FanFiction. Which, in itself, amazes me. Not that it's het, but that you manage to keep my attention.

Honestly, before finding you, I'd given up on het FanFiction in this Fandom. The female characters were always written vapid and weak in other authors' renditions, and I quickly found myself becoming bored.

The first piece of yours I read, which was sent to me by a friend, was "White Knight, Grey Queen" and I have been largely addicted to the majority of your stories ever since.

I have enjoyed reading both the newer and older works, and seeing how much your writing style and abilities have progressed. And they certainly have.

My favorite is, without a doubt, "Hope" because it speaks to me. Your Harry is especially canon in that story, and I adore him that way; it is how he was always meant to be written.

The fact that you managed to convince me to read a Harry/Ginny story continues to amaze me. However, the fact that I very much enjoyed "This Means War" is perhaps the largest surprise of all, for me.

Are there errors in your stories? Yes. Does your Harry occasionally seem a little over the top? Yes. Are the plot lines somewhat cliched at times? Yes.

However, you manage to draw me into your works despite these things. And that, perhaps, is the most impressive bit of magic you've worked.

I have been eagerly awaiting this installment, as I adore your Harry and Wednesday--not to mention Pugsley and the abuse Draco suffers--and you did not disappoint.

Once again, you have provided me with something witty, amusing, and deliciously dark, without being overly angsty or emo. I applaud you for that. I also applaud you for being able to make such dark subject matter comedic, as not many people would have the talent to do such efficiently.

In conclusion, I would simply like to say that I appreciate that you share your stories, and thus your imagination, with me. I know I will continue to enjoy them, and that they will be the only het stories I am ever likely to recommend to another.

Best luck to you in your writing.

Regards,
Kay

I am so happy you decided you to continue writing this. I absolutely love Potter/Addams crossovers. There is just such depths available when you add the Addams to your story. And so many ways to even take the Addams because of the tv shows and the movies. There is your way and the delightful story Family Matters way.

Nice, I'm enjoying it. Unusual crossover but it works - I like the new take on a dark Harry.

noylj posted a comment on Friday 15th January 2010 9:06am

So, Sirius gets to remain Dementor food?
Seems unfair for the poor man--at least get him arrested for something he actually did!
Did Gomez and Morticia meet sirius when they were staying there for four months?
How many years before Minnie the sycophant learns that Bumbles is all clay and nastiness?

Who said Sirius was in jail? Harry certainly didn't ...

Wow.

And Wow again. That was sooo dark... and yet light at the same time. I LOVE how Wednesday and Harry dealth with both Lockhart AND Molly...

And later how Harry addressed the issue of Pettigrew.

Lovely, lovely story... You rock!

I was delighted to see that you had continued this wonderful crossover. I thoroughly enjoyed it and very much look forward to the next second year episode. Thanks!

Celevon posted a comment on Friday 15th January 2010 6:09am

I think you did a fantastic job with this story so far! I just loved the Addams Family when it was on TV all those years ago, and I'm glad you were able to write this story with Harry Potter in it!

Please update soon!

When I had first read the summary of the first year, I admit that I had been skeptical of the crossover. Nonetheless, I decided to give read it based on the fact that I enjoyed your other writes as well as I have. While the story of the first year is a short for my taste, I found it enjoyable as well. The start of second year seems off to a decent start and has indead left me waiting eagerly for the next update.

Kudos!!

Delighted to see you back! I eagerly await updates on this, as it is by far one of the most interesting stories on the net at this time. Thank you.
