Poor Harry thinks he can outsmart a nigh omnipotent, fundenental aspect of reality.
At least Death seems like a chill boss, for the most part. I guess to an entity that exists outside of time and space, Harry enjoying a mortal lifetime here and there isnt that big of a deal. Still gonna suck having to live for eternity though. First few lifetimes will probably be cool, but it’s gonna be tiring eventually

Harry was foolish here. Death already told him that he exists beyond the concept of time. He knows the future.
So this deal? Death will just send him on missions he knows he will die on. And once he has a few lifetimes banked, he can send him to worlds he knows Harry won’t die on. It’ll keep Harry close enough to his goal that he wont give up, and then death can just send him to a world where he will die once Harry gets too close.
Harry will eventually figure it out, i guess, but likely only after so many lifetimes that he is no longer human. He may have cut a deal, but to an entity like death, its still servitude for as long as death desires. Which sounds a lot like eternity.

Was it ever revealed why they hadn’t already destroyed the diary? Doesnt make much sense to keep them around, tbh. It’s not like you can really do anything with them.
Ironic that the only reason they didn’t kill Voldemort is because Harry Potter refused to destroy the Horcrux… doesn’t make much sense to me at all. Guess it was needed for the narrative and all the Death stuff
Im not conviced Death didnt have a hand in it though. Makes more sense to me that Death did some kind of mind magic to keep them from destroying the Horcrux so that Hardy would go down this path

Harry became too arrogant once he came back from the past. In his world, he desperately did everything to survive for decades, and he eventually gained a solid grasp on what Voldemort and his enemies were capable of.
He does not know that here. He does not act like that here. He is too reckless. Too sure of himself. It’s already got him killed twice. He shouldve tried to flee Dumbledore, but instead he was almost excited to fight him. Here, it is a bit presumptious that he thinks he can defeat this voldemort, who is an entirely different person, with ease. It actually works in his favor, but his ignorance of what he was capable of got him killed a second time.
I know that it was some unfamiliar weird egyptian magic that killed him. That said, Harry has to have spent decades coming across unfamiliar magics and things for decades, but he’s survived them all. Whatever mentality he had in the past that allowed him to adapt and overcome whatever was thrown his way seems to have dissappeared in this timeline. Or maybe it was Fate all along that kept him alive?
Death is probably going to save him again, and Harry is going to be pissed about becoming his champion. But it’s Harry’s own choices that led him here. If Death saves him again, he should honestly he thankful.

If he cant escape with him, he should for sure kill him. It would, as far as Harry knows, take him out of comission for a few years, at the very least.

Amelia out here moving fast.
Im also suprised that they never revealed his name after he attacked the Ministry. Seems like a solid way to cast suspicion on him is to declare “Thomas Guant” as the teue identity of voldemort before he ever arrives.
Sure, it might not have stuck, but at least people would look twice. Might wouldve stopped the seduction if the Minister, at least

The fight seen is cool, but its always a bit disappointing to see fanfic where duels are just magic machinegun fire, where two wizards just cast multiple spells a second to overwhelm their opponent.
The best duels, imo, utilize transfiguration, unqiue spells, and creative uses of existing magic. In this fic, wand magic seems to just be a few spells cast as powerfully and rapidly as possible. Makes the wizards seem like two pieces of mounted machine guns blasting at each other until one side wins.

Harry should just assassinate Voldemort. It takes the bastard decades to recover, and likely longer without any followers.
Then they can destroy the Horcruxes at their leisure, and he would presemably die once the last one is taken out.

So voldemort just revealed himself in the middle of the ministry and murdered the head unspeakable? Man is really not off to a great start

He only created one Horcrux and he gave it to the Malfoy’s? That seems… foolish.
It made a bit of sense in cannon. Voldemort was insanely arrogant and had a ton of Horcrux’s. But here he only has one. I figured he would guard is jealously.

Voldemort is gonna be set back years after all this. Severus, Lucius, the prisoners, the weak Minister, these 7 guys.
I know these guys were likely mid-low tier death eaters, but 7 has to be a noticeable setback. There cant be more than a hundred or so death eaters at this point, and many of those will have questionable loyalty. Betweek Fleur’s murders and this, he has to have lost like two dozen death eaters, and many of the one’s Fleur killed were actually high ranking.

The way Harry talks about Magic in this chapter is a bit weird.
Based on what we know of his past, he become a duelist at the level of the Dark Lord. Or, at least, something approaching that level.
You simply cannot do that without having a high mastery of charms, transfiguration, and likely Dark Arts. Now, that doesn’t necessarily mean Harry has to be a genius in he traditional sense, but it would imply that he has a intuitive grasp of magic that others simply do not. Otherwise he wouldve just been an average wizard.
So he’s basically a prodigal wizard with decades of knowledge and skill. He might not necessarily be great at the writing portion of his essays (may not be able to put his knowledge into words, quote texts, etc), but his practical grasp of magic has to be greater than almost any wizard 5 times his age. He should firmly present like a genius wizard his entire hogwarts career, as far as actual casting magic goes… Because, well, he is a genius as far as casting goes AND he has decades of grinding behind him.

Strange that he never considers that Fleur is the one responsible for the Basilisk and the missing Diadem. I mean, its possible the Basilisk died of old and Voldemort never out the Diadem in the Room, but it feels weird that his first thought isn’t Fleur (the time travelled). Stranger still is that he doesnt consider the possibility at all.
…is Harry dumb?

This was… poorly handled.
Harry wants to avoid the upcoming conflict, so he decides to needlessly antogonize a fellow time traveller, and once confronted, his magic randomly decides to not work as intended, despite his mastery?
It is a blatant and terrible way to tie a Harry into the main plot. When you establish certain traits and characteristics to a character, then they should be what dictates the characters actions and motives.
Everything that happened in this chapter directly goes against everything we know about Harry at this point. Which makes the entire chapter feel like an unimmersive and heavy handed way to advance the plot.
