Harry Potter and The Mind

I never said i didn't like your story and i am sorry if my reviews gave that impression. I simply was drawing more attention to the parts where i thought you strayed from your characterization or where i thought you could have handled things in a different manner. Having said that it is your story and you can do whatever you like with it.

Apart from the things I listed, i liked all the other parts. I get your point about why harry is so powerful, as you said previously harry uses power not from within but from around him which is a skill unique to him? No problem, that would also explain why voldemort and dumbledore can't do what he can.

In my review of the last chapter on harry's dealings with the board, i am not saying that harry should claim the greater good. All i am saying that even though what he did was unprecedented it was still an attack on other student. Harry goes of free because of a technicality or loophole in the law that nobody thought possible. What i am saying is that there were better ways to do what he did - simply explaining his actions(pansy was torturing others) and also stating that what he did was not against the rules. As of now, to the board it looks like harry took advantage of a loophole in the law to attack a fellow student. With harry's critical thinking he has to understand the value of not making enemies where none have to be made.

As for the scrying part. You didn't say that the ministry stopped any books on those topics from being published and only authorized a few people to learn the skills. Then i could understand why people didn't know much about them. However, if the books are freely available there would be some people who would not believe the ministry when they said the skill was hard and would try it. If it is the former, then I misunderstood what you wrote. If it is the latter my point stands.

Again, i like your story, i only mentioned the points where i wanted something cleared up or where i thought you hadn't given much thought to the plot. Obviously, i can be wrong.
