I'll give it another year or two before the xxxx hits the fan again. Much like 1918.

Nothing has changed. All the basic problems still exist. The cycle will continue.

Have been following along all this time and loving your take on it all. Thanks for all the laughs and the insights along the way. I've always thought the best part of the Potter experience is the fans. You've shown that it is.

I have totally enjoyed your ability to look on the light side of what I found annoying to appalling....

Hope you have another project in mind.

Thank you so much for this series! I hope that you’ve had as much fun writing it as I have reading it. :)

In the epilogue, Ron is pretty much the embodiment how much the wizarding world hasn’t changed since Voldemort’s death, isn’t he? He Confounds the driving instructor to get his way with no repercussions, thus demonstrating that hexing Muggles is still permissible, he’s pressuring his children to be in Gryffindor, and he’s still biased towards the Malfoys, demonstrating that the rivalry between Houses is still as strong as ever.

/But, if you’re really worried about it, you can always ask not to be in Slytherin/

Harry: Like I did, somehow proving my moral superiority to Tom Riddle and Draco Malfoy, who didn’t even know that one could ask the Hat to change its mind.

I checked out Harry’s re-assuring words to Al Sev recently, and as usual the actual detail is worse than what I remember. Harry didn’t simply say the Hat would listen to Al’s preferences. He said: “If it matters to you, you’ll be able to choose Gryffindor over Slytherin.”

Excuse me, Harry, but how do you know your boy doesn’t have his heart set on Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw?

It’s worse than the situation in Book One, where Harry just begged, “Not Slytherin,” and left it to the Hat to select among the other three Houses. Harry’s House bigotry has been narrowed so far that nothing outside the two-way rivalry exists.

Chiming in late to say THANKS for all your amazing work on this series!

Ron acts like he's playing some sort of "Count the ways things haven't changed" bingo. So, so disappointing. Well. Disappointing is putting it mildly.

Wizards really ought to consider more international socializing to broaden their marriage pool. But I guess they figure Fleur brought in enough fresh genes for a few generations...
