Something Like Your Family
(#) Alorkin 2011-04-26
I liked this. It was dark and disturbing, but not too far off the canon personalities of everybody involved...especially McGonagall. I can easily see Harry saying 'Up yours' to the Hogwarts group, particularly now that Hermione is dead. (You evil bastard, you!)
If you intend to do a second, might I suggest two separate venues...first, with the goblins, as they're the only ones with the wherewithal to help Harry escape Dumbledore's control...'for a reasonable fee, of course', and at Hoggy's where each and every one of the students and staff are forcibly shown just how badly thy balled things up...with particular emphasis on ol' Minny.
Well, them's muh two knuts.

I must agree with some of the above reviews. I'd like to see what happens to Harry, and a kind of results wrap up of what happens to magical britian after he leaves.Something Like Your Family

By the way, I'll admit I was kind of miffed that you killed one of four female characters that I like in this series.Something Like Your Family

This is good, but incomplete. It's McGonagall to a point, though. She has a bad habit of not wanting to listen when children try to tell her things, which, like the Stone debacle, can end in disaster.
Where the bloody hell was Dumbles through all this anyway? He had to know something wasn't right...but then again, he knew something wasn't right in canon and still insisted on doing things his way.
"To hell with them all." Will Harry run or will he do himself in? I guess we'll never know because you ended this story too abruptly.Something Like Your Family

I'd like to see this expanded on. It's great as a teaser but it needs to grow and have a conclusion/confrontation.
It's a brilliant way to show that the general neglect of the magical world will have a consequence.Something Like Your Family

amazing story, I can really believe that this would have happened. With everyone's actions throughout the books, I could see everyone bullying Harry in Gryffendor and McGonaggle not listening to Harry's pleas for help. Please do a sequel. This story line is amazing and I would love to see what happens next.Something Like Your Family

This fiction has one major problem. Given Harry Potter's slightly different thought patterns (i.e. more realistic), shouldn't he have been sorted into Hufflepuff?
Still, it's an interesting look into the lack of ethical behaviour at Hogwarts---and by extension the British wizarding community as a whole.Something Like Your Family

This is a very fine story. It is just like real life when no one wants to take responsibility for their actions, just put the blame on someone else.
