I dont think a single killing curse would fell a giant, even a runt. Otherwise they wouldn't have so many problems with them.

You had the order of events wrong. Harry was healed after he stabbed the diary. That and the SoG was imbued with basilisk venom.

Neville's birthday is the day before Harry's. It was hours before, not days before.

Absolutely Amazing!!! Brought me close to tears many will the finale actually doing it. Finominal!!! Though still find myself to like many parts of Hermonies Plan better this was still amazingly! Personally having a hard time moving on from this story after reading over the course of a week I don't know what to do with myself! Amazing keep written man!

Loved it. Some decisions were different than I thought they would've reacted, but you seemed to balance it with outside interactions. Allow me to say I am so pissed at myself that Ron was smarter than me, with the suggestion of switching the ring/necklace.

Damn it hit him harder! sorry. I'm all for Harry raging. Wish he'd thrown Ron into a wall :( I have Harry-Ron violence issues.

I have never seen a twist with Ron drugging Harry for this purpose, at least not quite like this. Refreshing and frustrating. Not sure why Harry promised to not go run to tell Hermione or Ginny, but I liked the shock/buildup afterward!

I'm hesitant to begin with new authors on longer fics because I hate when things spin out of control. That said I'm glad I took the leap so far. Anyone who addresses this as "cliche" needs to realize these are logical reactions and some of the most realistic human representations of these characters I've read.

Great story! I have read soooooo... many stories but, I don't remember reading this one before. Many instances were familiar but that could be because you have used them other stories or were close to what other authors have included in their stories. I have to say, Harry's inclusion of "The Princess Bride" quotes in his ending of Voldie was CLASSIC! Loved it!

Again, great story with too many choices for the ending.

This is a wondeful story!

I especially love the way you treated Ginny. Far too many writers portray her as a whiny child or a manipulative bitch (pardon the language) or something equally inaccurate, just because they don't like the character or Jo Rowling's epilogue. So thank you very much for that.

I'm also a great fan of all three of your endings. I absolutely cannot decide on a favourite.

At the risk of repeating myself, I want to thank you for the care you've shown all of your characters (even those who died) and the great number of scenarios I had never considered before.

Thanks, Annabeth

So when did you come down to visit us here on Florida's Space Coast? Playalinda beach is small, and is the northernmost of our beaches, but it does have a great view of launches from the Cape!

Thank you for a very good story. And this is better than the books too.

Just wanted to send along a quick thank you for your hard work on this. I enjoyed the crisp, clean writing, and I can definitely can appreciate the amount of planning and effort that must have gone into this.

That's especially obvious in the way you absolutely nailed the final battle scenes. Given the number of tepid such scenes there are around the fandom where the good guys' chapters and chapters of preparation are follow by cakewalk victories, I appreciated that you came up with original tactics for the Death Eaters and made them, at least to an extent, work. I also really liked how well you showed us Voldemort's power, that it took everything Harry, Ron and Hermione could muster together -- and then some -- to score a razor-thin victory.

And I loved that you came up with such a great way to show us the depth of Hermione's love, that she would literally give anything for Harry. I thought that sacrifice was the perfect way to illustrate that your Harry and Hermione belong together.

Then you took that away.

I'm not going to lie: I hated you giving Hermione her magic back. Maybe I'm hung up on the idea that such a hard-won victory should cost something and that you don't have to have a perfect ending to have a happy ending. But I thought that decision detracted from the most poignant moment of your story and took away an opportunity for significant character growth at the end of this.

I'm just venturing a guess here, but was that decision made to keep the H/G angle open? As I got to the end of Chapter 17, going that direction just didn't seem feasible to me anymore. I certainly thought you built up H/H relationship skillfully enough -- and I say this a one-time diehard H/G shipper -- that I didn't even consider reading 20B or 20C.

That said, I thought you did a lot of things well here, especially in the first half of the story when you gave yourself the freedom to take us to some new and interesting places. The pool jumps to mind first and foremost! And I think you did an excellent job subtly developing your characters' relationships, even if that aspect took over the second half of the story a bit too much for my tastes.

Anyway, again I think you for your hard work. You've definitely caught my attention and I expect I'll be giving a Hermione's Plan a read before too long.

Excellent -- and any of the three endings would have worked for me.

Thanks!

BTW, how many fanfics have you read that manage to quote the Bible and Charles Dickens in the same chapter?

Yours is the first...

jilumasam posted a comment on Wednesday 25th May 2011 11:02pm

I'm enjoying this story so far...a pleasent surprise to find an author I haven't read yet...

Andrius posted a comment on Sunday 8th May 2011 1:43am

Harem ending is, obviously, the best! :)

It was an enjoyable story, although, in all honesty, I thought it could have used more action and mystery. Then again, you made it very clear a the beginning that it would focus on the relationships, so I can't complain.

Hermione's a muggle? RAAAAAAGE!

HWLLHP posted a comment on Saturday 7th May 2011 9:06pm

On the whole, this was a good story. I had a few quibbles here and there, which I'd have posted if you were still working on it, but really quite good. However, it seems, shall we say, more Slytherin than Gryffindor to write three endings so as to accommodate all ships. Pick one! Offering the reader his choice means denying him the satisfaction of seeing how the story "really" ends. Also, when you've been setting up for so long the idea that Harry needs to choose, it's anticlimactic to have Ginny take the choice away from him -- not to mention, out of character.

I very much enjoyed your story. I had never heard of it, or you, but when you got on this site, I knew you had to be good. I will say that I normally prefer action centric stories, and the focus on relationships is something that is normally a bit boring for me. In this case, however, I enjoyed your characterisations so much that I read it all in about two days.

Most relationship centric stories seem to revolve around one character acting stupid, the the other overreacting, them getting back together, and then one of them acting stupid... I enjoyed seeing the evolution of the relationship very much.

I very much enjoyed your definition of "love," and agree that the majority of fanfiction gets it very wrong.

The only critique I had was that there was to little.... magic? action? discovery? A large part of my enjoyment of Harry Potter comes form the world he is in. Defining "magic," and what makes it tick is something that most of my favorite fanfics do.

All in all, great story, 5/5. I hope you keep writing, and continue to enjoy your work.
