Harry's Second Chance

Another fine chapter. I am jealous to see you being able to work towards a conclusion, with my stories both still around their midway complete status.
Nice bit with the challenge tablets. I would be curious to see the actual exchanges between Bella and Harry.
Good material as always. JimHarry's Second Chance

Great chapter. Things are really coming to a head, but despite that, this setup chapter was really interesting.
Though it goes without saying at this point, I can't wait for more.Harry's Second Chance

Wow, seems like all of a sudden we're accelerating to a quick finish.
I don't understand Voldemort's misinterpretation of the prophecy (or your analysis of it in this story). Surely marking Harry 'as his equal' would take into account all the various factors, like existing 'power' plus that which was added, etcetera? It just didn't quite ring true. Maybe something instead about this being Harry's second time around, his 'trip back in time' being outside the temporal universe and hence beyond the purview of any possible precognition?
The setting of the duel itself seems a bit artificial, too ... who in his right mind would agree to duel TWO people ... in order to survive? Can you give me an example of why this form of duel would ever have been created in the first place? I don't get it.
Enjoying the story as always!Author's response
The idea is, this type of 'ultimate' duel is to settle only the most serious disputes, especially dynastic disputes, which this is to some degree. Hence, two shots

Nice. The story zooms towards the climax. Now you have me wondering what has Harry got up his sleeve to do to Belatrix that will so scare Voldemort.
Looking forward to the rest.
(Just had a thought - maybe Harry's hiding the muggle houses as places to live afterward.)
