Review for If Wishes Were Hippogriffs

If Wishes Were Hippogriffs

(#) Wonderbee31 2009-01-31

Well, the last part seemed to be a bit chaotic there, with Harry doing his best, but seemed to get screwed over a bit, as he's lost his magic, right? Nice death scene for Bella, and I hope if they do meet again in the afterlife, that she will be able to be with him somehow, as he was with Mrytle in a previous fic of yours. Great fight scene, and again, the character moments are fun, from Millie and her surprise at the invite, to her and Harry at Malkin's, and the forming line. Here's to a happy ending and will be curious as to what will happen with the witches allowed magic only, and all the men who got caught up because of the bad apples in their midst.

Thank you, as always, for reading and reviewing.
Chaos is good, sometimes, and I did foreshadow the consequences in the second prophesy - but it certainly does look like Harry is Fate's bitch.
Bellatrix met a violent end, but she went down fighting the good fight. I wanted Bellatrix to have a tender moment at the end, hope it didn't disappoint.
Punishing all the wizards for the actions of a few does seem harsh, but I'm reminded of the quote attributed to Burke, "All that is required for evil to triumph if for good men to do nothing."
It's possible that not enough men (wizards) were willing to get their hands dirty - let alone bleed for a good cause. Baaaaaaa, baaaaaaaaaa!
N!
