It's a shame it wasn't finished.
I liked your Trewlaney-raised Harry, who rode the giant rooster and used the Blood Quill to defeat Tom Riddle.
I can only imagine his adventures in Sixth and Seventh Years.

Best HP Fanfic ever ! You chosed such an original angle - divination - and you revisited cleverly this unknown and disregarded field and the Trelawney character. The way you write is really amazing and sets a delighting ambiance to the story. And the way Harry deals with the cannon situation are often clever and hilarious. A giant pet rooster named Colonel Sanders, come on, I almost choked while laughing. A sherry-fozen dementor ! Year of the Cock/Rat ! Where do you find all these ideas !? The scene with the squid is awesome too, and I love the idea of an armed Kreacher enforcing good manners in Sirius' Home. The way you deal with the Horcruxe makes a lot of sense and is really clever. And reading about Luna always makes me smile, and you deal perfectly with her character.
I'd be delighted to read further chapters !

This is an Awesome story, I love the unique ideal of Harry being a seer; Harry and Luna getting together also increases its stock. You have me constantly laughing as I read. I'll have to check out some of your other stories now.

LOL at Harry being worried about having to buy Padma diamonds. I also loved the way he dreamt the title of her book as a way to identify her.
Kreacher with Dudley's Smeltings stick is a very worrying image, but also very funny.
The finding of Rowena's diadem was great. Loved the love life of the staircases.
Oh good gods, she's possessed by Tom? That's really gross. Loved Luna to the rescue. Poor Padma, but she did rather bring it on herself.
LOL at Luna's "batshit insane" comment. Loved that whole scene. Luna naming her breasts Tweedledum and Tweedledee is just perfect. Great chapter.

Well that's quite an unexpected ending. Go Luna! Anyway, it's quite fascinating to see how Harry reacts to all of the canon situations. I loved the delcious irony of naming the giant pet chicken Colonel Sanders >.< I found amusing the 14-year-old Harry's reference to what he did with Lavender, naked frolicking indeed. Love the fic!

Can't say I was a big fan of this at the beginning,
but the the humour in this latest chapter is pretty good.
"Did you hear what they were talking about?" Ron asked lips smacking together and pieces of moist bread rocketing out of his gaping maw.
Lol.
Keep it up.

Plus, he generally feels taken for granted
Shouldn't that be 'taken for granite?'

This chapter is a prime example of why I read your work. Always new and interesting directions.

<chuckle> Yeah, that was a nice homage to "Flowers". This was a fun , yet poignant, chapter. I do hope Padma gets better while also hoping that matters develop famously between Harry & Luna.

Hey Jim - I read this a few days ago and promised myself I'd come back to review! While the Padma-as-"Flowers from Algernon"-character was very, very moving, what really stuck with me was the Kreacher-with-Smelting-stick bit. I don't like angst much, and Kreacher whapping misbehaving wizards for not wiping their feet REALLY made me smile. This was a great chapter - it retains its rather tongue-in-cheek character while dealing with hard topics respectfully. Great job!

Another great update! This story is a really fun read I reread everything after you posted this chapter and it was as much fun the second read as the first! Can't wait for more :)
I am excited to see that your working on a sequal to Dead Eye I'm gonna have to look up ConCarolinas to see how much longer I have to wait.

That last line is so cute!
And Auntie Sybill still sleeps in his bedroom? Poor, poor Harry.

A house elf with a stick teaching the redheads manners was very funny, as was Umbitch. I enjoyed how you slowly made Padma into Voldie and liked the goodbye on the tower, very well done. Is it had to write H.P. without anyone dieing and no naked Fleur for you?? lol

Another great chapter... Loved the part about Kreacher with the stick. Ron being well mannered in eating was hilarious. That one exchange conveyed the sincerity of Kreacher's efforts more than any number of paragraphs you could have written on the matter.
Why would Sirius not get his home cleaned properly now that he is cleared by law? With so many horcruxes destroyed already I am very curious about what will happen in the next chapters.
A bit of a bittersweet ending to this year. Looking forward to updates to your fics as well as Dead Eye sequel.

Brilliant, and the mild homage came through just fine. Now i have to find that one in English, though.
I enjoy Harry's peculiar innocence. You make the best plot twists out there and certainly the best corruptions. Padma, her response to her elevation, her fall from grace to heights unimagined was brilliant. Her response and description of the loss of elevation was chilling.
The little details you gave about the Centaurs made the whole race somewhat more real, and the punishment of Umbridge was highly credible. I have read of similar hazings among "primitive" human tribes.
Luna? The very "hands-on" seduction looked very odd which i guess is just in character. Her names for her bodyparts was fantastic. Considering the literary origin, i expect an oyster-eating rhyme in the future...
Thanks.

Haven't reread the chapter yet. This is just a note that the email alerts from FFA don't seem to be working (didn't get notice of this chapter).
Might pester Tim about that.
