Ok. This is where I drop it.
The story is fine. But I really don't want to read stories in which the author knowing nerf the MC for plot convenience.
There is a lot to magic than just firing spells. If you've seen the fight between Voldemort and Dumbledore then you'll know it.
But you've made Harry dumb and weak so I don't think i can read this anymore.
Goodbye.

Kinda just author fiat. You give him Voldemort’s knowledge then nerf him. In reality Harry Potter magic is so versitlile there isn’t anything he couldn’t do, he could make area of affect spells all around him to prevent anyone approaching, fly up into the air, make a ward that prevents people from looking at him. Thousands of ways to trounce non magic users, but you author fiat it away because you can’t have an overpowered person in your plot

Please update. You can't let this story die now. It is too good for it to go into adoption
TekamanBlade chapter 15 . 2/27
Now that I've read all the chapters I'm really sad that this story seems to have died.

It's a simple enough premise and you've followed through with it exceptionally well. This story certainly deserves another chapter or three, at least until Yang and The Notorious H.P. go looking for Ruby, and I'm genuinely sad that it doesnt seem like it will happen.

Regardless of my desires for more of this story, thank you for the excellent writing that you've put in thus far and good luck in your future endeavors.

So I have to say I like the premise fairly well, the story really just isn't working well for me. Harry is way too passive, bland, and wimpy. Couple points I wanted to mention.

First is about magic. JKR made magic in her story very haphazard. She basically threw in whatever sounded good or fit her plot points without much thought. Because of this there are a lot of ways you can choose to have magic work. As an example in some stories I have read the basic shield spell will get knocked down by a couple bullets from a handgun. In other stories a shield will basically no sell anything short of antitank weapons. Both versions are equally valid because it's basically never mentioned in cannon how the shield spell interacts with non spell attacks. There is a ton of other stuff like that in HP magic. You look at it one way and it's stupidly overpowered, look another and any well trained soldier could beat any but the best wizards. So while I think you are trying a bit too hard to make magic useless in this story, I'm not trying to say it's not supportable. I mostly just agree with a few other posters, why give Harry wandless magic, Voldemort's knowledge, and invisibility if you are going to do your best to make it all worthless. Because it really does read that way to me. At will invisibility combined with a couple other minor magics should be stupidly OP. None of this, 'I got off a couple surprise attacks'. Yang should basically spend the whole fight trying to figure out where he is, much less attack him. If you didn't want Harry to use a lot of magic, get rid of the boosts from the wandless magic and the invisibility, let him keep Voldies knowledge, but restricted to rituals, runic stuff, and the minor bit of wandless stuff he can do without a built in wand. It would fit what you are allowing him to do right now a lot better.

My other point is that in addition to being a bit of a wimp in a fight, Harry also feels like a bit of a bland wimp socially/emotionally. He reads like he barely has a spine. Every time there is any playful banter Yang wins. Your line about angering tired wizards is shown to be a lie since Yang immediately shows him who is boss. Yang is basically the driver in every interaction they have. Yang learns animagus form faster then the wizard with years of experience with magic, decades of extra magical knowelge, a history of learning magic quickly when it mattered and willpower so strong it could practically be considered his super power. It really feels like Yang is the protagonist and Harry is the supporting character. It's just frustrating because the into and frame for the story indicates otherwise. I'm not trying to say Harry needs to getting in Yangs face or anything. He just barely seems to barely have a personality. His one big emotional moment so far is his dismissing his horrible childhood as pointless to worry about because it's the past, so he just got over it. Which is part of the reason he feels spineless. I also don't really agree with his points about forgiveness, or rather I agree that Yang doesn't have to forgive anyone, but it completely ignores the fact that forgiveness has very little to do with other people and everything to do with the person who has been injured, but that is a bit outside my points.

Sorry to be so critical, I've read and enjoyed a number of your other stories so it surprises me that this one seems so off.

Why am I picturing the God of Darkness scolding Death for this, only to pout because there is nothing he can do to stop it. XD

This already seem interesting enough for me to comment, normally I wait until I've caught up with the story to do so!
Badpressure chapter 15 . 9/5/2019
Please let there be More of this rather tastefully pleasant adventure? It's got a nice pace,(if a bit quick on the pairing, but well, magical marriage.), the characters are written somewhat believeably in character, and the rising action has thus far been well laid out. I would love to see more, whenever the muse strikes.
