I've just re-read your story and to be honest I'd love to see the scene with Jenny Thomas in one of the movies. There wouldn't be a dry eye left in the house. Well unless they are death eaters. Say that would make a great way to find any at Hogwarts. They should just expel anyone who wasn't affected by Harry and Jenny.

Brilliant as always, although I am a little disappointed that you didn't put up all three un-betaed parts of Chapter 10.

It's been a while, but it's been worth it, what a great chapter... the battle with the Death Wankers in the warehouse was short but fun.
With Fred and George on the job to stop people earsdoping, there shouldn't be anymore problems. LoL... so it wasn't a Bluff, or Harry thought it was, but his magic didn't. Ryan should have listened to Harry.
So Harry can now turn into a Harris hawk, nice...
What a great plan Harry got with Narcissa, it should work will, and nobody will be any of the wiser.
I love the payback that Harry, Snape, Ron, Seamus and Dean done to Sirius for his Sirius/Serious jokes...
So Harry invinted a new kind of cotton, that can't be tear.
So Harry learnt that he can do whatever he can, because he doesn't know about the law of magic.
I love the fight between the werewolf and Harry/Wolf... it would have been good if Harry did turn into a werewolf... a combin pf werewolf and a real wolf would have been good.
I'm happy that Percy and Kingsley are helping to hide Harry's Wolf Animagus form...
I like the that everyone in the Great Hall had their wands pointed at the Dursleys, for insorting Harry, and Susan for Hexing Petunia before she could say something that she would regate.
I like what Harry done for Jenny... so why did everyone give Harry strange looks, I for one don't understand like Harry. So Hogwarts is alive and Harry is her favourite.
Until next time, keep up the great work and update soon. I hope we don't have to wait for the next update like we did with this one, but if it is I know it'll be worth it like it was with this one.

Ah, great Christmas present Tim, thank you! After waiting so loooooooong for this addition to TMW it was a real pleasure to devote a morning to reading it and the discovery that you haven't lost your touch. The 'magic' of TMW - the humour, the H/G fairytale romance (wow, how cliché, that's so old-fashioned! :-) ), Harry's female fan club, his 'no limits' magic, and of course the M-Mails - it all popped back and fit in perfectly with the earlier chapters of the story.
Well, I admit it took me a while to get used to a friendly - smiling? - Snape.
Actually the Narcissa thing was a little difficult to accept, too, even within the more black-and-white context of this story, but still fun to read. I *am* glad that you/Narcissa/Harry are acknowledging that Bellatrix isn't going to get off scott-free. She may not have murdered Sirius, but she HAS killed people, as her sister mentioned. I don't think she should be fully pardoned for that even in the TMW! universe.
I wish I knew what particular thing Harry is 'missing'!!! I have a feeling it's something just a little bit important!?
I particularly liked the distinction you made between animagus wolves and werewolves; how the latter is not a natural wolf, but a human forced into an unnatural state.
Even with the presence of all these fun TMW! pieces I recognised from before I found that I was most moved by the teddy-specialist scene, which may have been ultra-saccharine and super-sweet and I'm supposed to be a macho male and I shouldn't go for stuff like that -- but I loved it! There's just something *nice* about cute little girls and teddy-bears and teddy-bear specialists! Great upbeat ending to the chapter.
"Them is being Dursleys" ... wouldn't HP fanfics be all the poorer if it wasn't for Dobby (and the twins)?
TMW is a classic, you know; it was one of the first fanfics I 'heard' of 3 years ago when I discovered HP fan fiction; everyone seemed to be talking about it (did everyone make the move from ff.net to ffa when you announced the transfer?). I've re-read it a couple of times since. It's a fairytale, it's upbeat and lightweight, it's H/G, but it's a classic, and the sheer pace, high spirits and friendship and support between all the good guys is why it's something that can be read again and again. I'm glad you're approaching the point where it can take it place in HP fanfic history as a completed work.
Thanks for the Christmas preview and I look forward to reading the remaining two parts!

Thank you. That was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the references to certain other authors (Messrs Chessman and Shocke), and the sweet way of finishing off this part of the chapter.
Looking forward to seeing what Percy and Shacklebolt find up at Azkaban.
Hope you've had an enjoyable Christmas.

A masterful chapter--and a nice twist on the "Harry has no limits that he doesn't place on himself" plot point: it was a rather nasty surprise to Ginny and the others to realize that it could backfire on them in that particular way.
A lot of people are bringing up the poker hand comment by Minnie--given the way she phrased it, I'm assuming that she was saying that Albus mistakenly *thought* that she had a full house that would lose to his four jacks, when in fact she actually had a better hand (higher four of a kind or a straight flush). That's certainly possible in any number of poker variations where exposed cards may lead one to come to erroneous conclusions about what the other player is betting on (Texas Hold 'Em and Seven Card Stud can both allow both exposed and hidden cards to paint a misleading picture of a player's hand).

AH! IT'S ALIVE! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
...sorry...I had almost given up hope, but praise be! Thanks to all the lightnings and the lucky lighning rod =]. Can't wait for Parts 2&3.

YAY! NEW CHAPTER!!!! Excellent, as always. I loved what you did with the scene between Harry and Dean's little sister. So, Harry knows he can now, at least unconsciously, defy all the laws of magic. The question is, can he do it now that he knows? And, can he do it consciously? Interesting twist with the Mrs. Robinson plot. I notice you conveniently left off the list of Harry's preferred Quidditch teammates, sneaky. Dursleys at Hogwarts with all the Weasleys there as well as the entire DA, this should be interesting. So, Voldemort has no idea his primary source of income has now been stopped? I'm guessing this is going to be one of the motivating factors for the Dark Tosser's final attack (well, that and the fact that he will be under the mistaken impression that Harry is at his weakest and certainly not capable of fighting back). I will be interested to see the conversation between Harry and Ginny about a certain secret. You have done such an amazing job on this fic that I still have no clue exactly how Harry will rid the world of the Dark Tosser, as I'm sure is the general idea. In so many fics you know a few chapters in (at the very least a few chapters from the actual battle) how it will be done, but you have us so distracted with other things that we don't even think about that and when we do we have no clue how you are going to make it happen. Anyway, this is still one of my favorite fics and I am so excited you are posting it again. I was going to wait for the beta'd version since I wanted to reread the entire story to refresh my mind anyway, but I finished rereading quicker than I thought I would and couldn't resist. I normally wouldn't have jumped the gun since I am such a big fan of beta'd work (I'm somewhat of a grammar nazi and when something doesn't make sense or doesn't flow I ponder over it for quite some time) but for TMW I have absolutely no patience it turns out. So, now that I've rambled enough, excellent work!

It's been such a long time I've forgotten what this story is about. Jeconais, do you sometime have to reread your works before continuing them?

It's bloody fantastic to see you've updated this story again after all this time. It's my favorite fanfiction that I've ever read and even better than the original books.
Thank you for updating and I can't wait to read the next part.
Your devoted fan.

Excellent beginning with a fight scene, Draco being gay, Harry's quoting the Graduate, Minnie's perfected the art of winning against Dumbledore at poker. Wonderful. What was even better was Harry's plan. Best of all was Wolf-Harry's fight against Fenrir Greyback. Superb idea. I also loved the business with the Teddy. Massive mistake on Harry's part but it will be fun watching the consequences.
