"Or having a stupid long hyphen name like Harry James Potter-Black!"

Did you mean Hadrian James Charlus Potter-Black? lol

Hi man, I like this story quite a bit. Its not terribly unique but there are aspects of it that are done really well. Most notably I really like the speed with which Harry learns things. It feels like he is busy but not superhuman, which is awesome. Thanks for sharing and update soon!

Didn't even get further than the A/N at the beginning.

You may not have read the books but even the movies allude to Dumbledore manipulations of Harry, were you distracted by all the pretty lights? Dumbledore knew what he was condemning Harry to by dropping him at his Aunt's house- He says as much himself to Harry while setting him up to die.

The prophecy is Dumbledore's sole motivation throughout the entire series, lessening it's role will relegate Dumbledore's characterization into OC territory. Parallels between Tom and Harry? Irrelevant without the prophecy playing a large factor.

I saved myself some time not reading this... No point reading something written by the naïve and willfully ignorant.

I know Tracy is loud but why do you have her shouting and yelling all the time?

great story so far keep it up

And he just happened to be at Gringotts at exactly the same time as Hermione? Awfully convenient. Completely unbelievable.

Hey cool story!

I am sorry for posting this review here, but I want to make sure you will see this review.
You should really continue Resurgence of the Senju Clan. It has a lot of potential, yet you abandoned it.

Hi, I discovered this jewel yesterday. I just wanted to say that I find your take very refreshing. I love the style and the way Harry is portrayed.
It's awesome!

I think it would be cool to see Harry go to Flitwick about dueling so he can prepare for U17.

I am LOVING THIS BRILLIANT FIC and truly cannot wait to read more! ;o)

Alright, so I've got a few things to say, but let's start with the easiest: spelling. You've got quite a few mistakes in there, but almost no grammar mistakes, which leads me to believe that you're a native speaker. If so, please reread your chapters before uploading them, because I am quite sure that you simply write without checking afterwards. I mean, really, everyone would get that Harey was getting out of BED, not bead. Stuff like that.
Then, Merlin. I know, it's been used again and again, and I think I remember JK saying something about him bring a Slytherin, but either she was just saying he would have most likely been a Slytherin, or she just wanted to make a joke. Merlin has been recorded the first time by us more muggles in the middle of the 9th century, earlier than Higwarts was founded in the 10th century. So it would quite clearly stand to reason that he didn't actually visit Hogwarts as a student.
Next up, I really like that tour Dumbledore is so open and honest. It's really refreshing, but I still believe that he is giving up too much information too fast and too easily to an elven/twelve year old. If they were closer and Dumbloedore would know him better, that would probably make more sense, but as it is, it is pretty weird.
And that leads to my last point. You said Harry would not be going dark, but as of right now, he is pretty firmly on the path of going dark. He has no real friends or confidantes; he has no true family; he is being pressured and put on a pedestal; his drive to learn more are purely egotistical in nature; he is starting to think of people as assets purely, instead of as friends and people; he is starting to really hate people and he is always minding his own business and not helping others much, which always was a defining trait of Harry's; he is manipulating people purely for his own gains without any regards to their own problems and personal consequences; he has almost no happy memories, because you are solely focusing on his studying and scheming, so it really is coming across as if Harry was only part of the group, because he wants to use them to his own benefit, nothing more, nothing less. I get that you wanted to play up the parallels with Riddle, but you clearly said it in the Author's notes a few times that Harry wouldn't be getting dark. Yet he already is firmly there. He is practically emotionless, with the only real emotions being displayed being anger and rage. No happiness. No bashfulness, shyness, happiness or love. So if you really want Harry to be believable AND a good guy, then you should really think about showing more of his good attributes.

One of the best reads i have the pleaseure to read in this fanfic site.
Specially Loved the character's characterisation andworld development whic JK Rowling missed in the books. Keepup the spledidwork, hoping for more future reads.

Have enjoyed the story so far. The characterization of canon charactors are much more believable...

Good job!

Great chapter thanks for sharing looking forward to more
