For having written this before the last three books, you got Bill and Fleur's marriage and Dumbledore's death correct. It amazes me how some authors got so many things correct before the books were ever published! :)

I read reviews quite often before deciding whether or not to read a story and was rather put out for your sake on how harsh that one critic was regarding this story.
I have read many, many stories on this site that were written before the cannon books ended and realize that there are many things Rowling put into her world that weren't known in the earlier books. So it's understandable when a fanfiction author doesn't include everything or even has something that is opposed to the way things were in cannon. Horcruxes are a good example. Since they were made up by Rowling, how could anyone else have thought of them before she mentioned them in her books?

Author's Notes: I had a guest reviewer submit 4 reviews to this story and because of a computer glitch on my side the reviews and my responses to those reviews was deleted off the site. However, as I promise to reply to each review, I wanted to include them, along with my replies, so that others may see them and the guest reviewer not feel as if I had ignored him/her because of the submitted comments. My apologies in advance if my replies might seem a little terse, but that was not the tone in which I wrote them.

I started this to follow your suggestion when I saw the sequel. I need to say that the story concept is a good one and there are some good elements to your tale' however, the nuts and bolts of writing are dismal and very inconsistent. So, despite my curiosity about how you cure Harry's amnesia, I must decline. There are just too many holes in this story to continue. Please give your future writing more effort. In my view you squander your abundant inspiration by poor preparation.
Author Reply: I’m sorry that you did not like this story. I would suggest that if you do not enjoy reading a story that you stop and move onto another story as I do. For full disclosure for all… this story was originally written at least three years before the last three books were written by JKR and at the time of when I went to submit this, I chose not to rewrite it to include any of those storylines.
As far as you last two lines, if you have any work that you wish to publish so I, and others, may read it and learn from it to improve our writing, I would welcome the opportunity.

What happened to the stone slide that activates for the girls staircase when a male steps on it? RESEARCH and you will find a way around and keep your story in tact. Good writing is still a 10 % inspiration and 90% perspiration and will remain that way for the foreseeable future.
Author Reply: Again, at the time I chose for my story’s purposes to not include the staircase element, which I was fully aware of. For all prospective writers… many movies, television shows, books, and even JKR’s own work could we have driven semi-trucks through the plot holes because of research or even simple “wait that doesn’t make sense”, whether that research was available at the time or came post-publishing. Many great stories here even poke holes into JKR's work/research, but not in anyway that I found disrespectful and allowed us to explore this wonderfully rich world she created.

You would gain a lot more credibility if you acknowledge JKR's timeline and didn't ignore basic cannon facts with no explanation. Peevs IS NOT a ghost. Ghosts don't really seriously effect the physical world. He is a POLTERGIST. They are by definition, even outside JKR's cannon, a malicious entity that can effect, directly, the physical world. This all can be sorted but you need to do your research so your story and writing appears to be diligently worked on and not slap-dash put together. It makes you appear as though you don't care to make your story well thought out. One could wonder if you read the books or just got a cursory idea about the story from the movies. By the way Mrs. Figg's first name is ARABELLA, not Annabella.
Author Reply: You do make an excellent point about Mrs. Figg. Again, this was written before I knew her first name and I had forgotten to change it. I am re-writing this and have already made the correction. As far as Peeves is concerned, again a good catch.
Unfortunately your initial line of this review would apply to many of the other wonderful stories here on this site. My suggestion would be to examine the story for its own sake and not a direct comparison or tie back to JKR’s work. If so, you’ll find that these stories share the spirit of her work without copying wholesale her thoughts, which allows us the ability to explore other directions without being handcuffed by sticking with canon. And as these are our stories, we are all entitled to be able to express our thoughts and desires of how we, the author’s, wish the story to go, even if it’s against canon. Again, if you do not enjoy a story, I would again recommend you simply move on to another story.

What happened to Bill and Flur's wedding? No U-No-Poo attack or Ministry take over? No Horcrux hunt? No rationale or explanation of any of it, either. Disappointing. Wasn't she at the same Hogwarts we all were at via JKR?
Author Reply: Again, this was written years before horcruxes, Bill and Fleur’s wedding, and many other events that took place in her later works, which did not require me explaining that missing content. There are many, many, many stories on this site, beyond Harry Potter, that do not include many aspects of the original author’s canonical events. I’m sorry if this story did not reflect her work enough to satisfy your expectations, but again this is my story with my thoughts and written for pleasure and entertainment.
