I really like this beginning to this story. What better way to start a story than to inconvience Fudge, Umbridge and Voldemort. That and get that cursed horcrux out of Harry's head. I look forward to more of this story. Thanks for writing. pms

Welcome back! Great to see a new story coming from you back in the Potter-verse. I look forward to seeing where you take this.

This feels like : "A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away ..." Wellcome back to HP universe.

Good start. Plenty of possibilities for the future chapters.

Interesting beginning. It felt a little rushed, but I think that was intentional pacing. Might want to have some aside to explain why Dumbledore is being so proactive compared to canon.

Awesome start to the story. Exactly as expected based on the excellence of your previous work. Will look into your original works and maybe see if I can get my wife to possibly get some for the library she runs.

A very interesting start. I was alwasy upset that Sirius was killed so quickly when he could have been such an intersting character. I will have to see more before I give it more than a tentative thumbs up.

Welcome back, I know nothing about BSG but I can learn. I am looking forward to seeing where you will take us this time.

- Good to have you back Jim.

- given the title, there isn't a whole lot of mistery about what is in Harry's future (or is it past?) but the getting there should be fun...

So good to see that you are still around and writing fanfiction. I have enjoyed the original stuff of yours that I have read, but I was worried that you had left fanfic without saying goodbye. That would have been sad.

I don't know anything about BSG, but I look forward to reading this. The flow of the story is a bit lurchy in this chapter. Less like a story unfolding and more like a story being set up. It's the first chapter, so I guess that's fine. Ideally, things would feel less forced. Less like a checklist being ticked off.

Using dementors to kill the fragment is pretty briliant, and I look forward to the prospect of a proper old man mentor Dumbledore.

It sounds like a fun idea, I like what I've read for this chapter.

Cheers!

Interesting start.

Honestly, though, really interested in where you're going once we get to the Colonies. Hmm, a bit younger than Lee and Kara. He'll be ~26 once the attack happens, so mid-rank pilot if he goes that way. Probably too young for CIC crew. Ah, well. We'll see.

Looking forward to more of a crossover that I've never seen attempted.

Battlestar Gallactica and Harry Potter ---- what a great idea. I'm hooked already. Also a very clever way to deal with the horcrux. I can't wait to see what other surprises your genius has in store for us.

Thank you!

A very pleasant start. Don't let me or anyone else keep you from writing for money (I do, too) but this is such a cool milleu, not withstanding half-blood/ass principles and dreadful hollering (lack of caps on purpose). As you may be able to tell, I wasn't thrilled with books 6/7 {wasn't in love with OotP, either}. I sustain myself by reading GOOD fanfiction as I am for whatever reason addicted to Harry Potter stories---at least good ones, and you do have a track record and admirable history.

JKR created an amazing world, then proceded to populate it with a bunch of doofus' at the end. In my not so humble opinion, many have done better with the, admittedly original, creation. You, I consider, are in that cadre.

Please don't let any lapse of mine in literary criticism put you off! It's your story, take it where you want. If I don't like it, I can always stop reading. I am not a teacher of English grammer. I have no problems with grammer/syntax/spelling unless it's egregious That's what editors should be paid for, instead of screwing with our words.

I hope to have you back in HP print soon. In fact, I look forward to it! One request. I know from past posts that Ishtar is one of your past associates. If you have any influence there, please ask Ishtar (her?) to complete, or at least give an outline for completion for her HP/Addams family story "Family Values". Love it.

Great start so far seems like this will be a fun story. Can't wait for the next installment!

A well written change to canon with an interesting direction given the title.

welcome back.

Not sure of how a BG crossover would work, but then I watched the original series, and not much of the re-do series. I assume it is the re-do series that you are crossing with?

I like your Dumbledore, and I'm very curious as to if the elves will be going with Harry or not. Hmm.

thanks for sharing.

Good beginning, I like the humour from Sirius.

Love! :D

So is this the new BG or the Old (and best!) BG?

Really glad to see you writing some HP again. Enjoyed the first chapter and am looking forward to Harry vs. Cylons.
