Review of chapter "Decisions, OWLs and Prophecies" from
DeacBlueReview:
Gotta say that I'm not loving this fic. There are some good parts - in particular, most but not all of the characterizations are good(Dumbledore chastising a teacher in public? He didn't even do that to Umbridge!). The pace doesn't drag.
What really makes this fic not the best choice to read is information, who has it and why. You have this as a variation on a "cultures collide" sort of thing, and yet the Scoobies seem to be up on everything in the Wizarding World, including minor political connections inside the school. If they knew all of the information that you put out, they would not act and react the way they do in canon. Perhaps you need this to be AU before the point that you are saying now? Then you have people spouting personal details out to people that they've barely met, and you give them no reason to do so.
I'd say go back and take the time to develop your characters and your story.

"The One-Who-Sees, huh? Well, I'm the Boy-Who-Lived. Is it me or is everyone getting silly titles nowadays?"
ROFLMAO. No kidding! I love the way you've blended the universes here, and given a plausable reason for the Scoobies to be at Hogwarts. None of the "you mean there is a whole secret wizard society?" drama. Will any of our friendly neighborhood vamps be coming to hogwarts? I'd love to see an Angel/Snape argument about who has more right to brood.
Comments from author:
Angel and Spike may make a later appearance and you're right, a pissing match about who's the better brooder would be funny. Even though I'm the one who wrote it, my fave comment is when Ken calls Voldemort a Dark Dickhead. So far, no one's commented on that. BTW, I'm a Slytherin, myself. Thanks for your review, SWW.
On another note, I'm still debating on whether or not to make Spike a Malfoy. That seems to be very common, even though Spike has a dye job. There will be a Scooby/Scooby het pairing. Care to guess who?

HI,
I was looking at the latest list and your summary sounded interesting. I like that you have made the 'Buffy people' all in the same world as Harry Potter. It makes it different to other stories/crossovers I have read.
I look forward to the next chapter. Thank you for posting.

Kind of short, I hope there is more soon!
Comments from author:
Don't worry. There will be. I haven't run out of steam yet. Xander's Family is kinda simmering right now. I haven't decided where to go yet, but this one and Healing are keeping me busy.

When you decided to go alternate you go all out.
The answers to all the questions you've raised should be something to read.

Review of chapter "Prologue: Letters" from
neverwillReview:
Short, but well written. I'm hoping future installments will answer several questions this chapter raised and we'll find out more about how the Scoobies are all aware of the Wizarding world: Xander has magic (he's licensed in some areas)? Anya's still alive? When did Dawn get a wand? All of the [remaining] Scourge implies her Wand should also have something of Drusilla - unless she's dead in your world? Witches lose their magic when they become Slayers? etc.
Comments from author:
Xander will have Council-certification in Muggle Studies, American Pop Culture, and DADA. Anya is still dead, though. Xander does have his eye back, thanks to Wesley, but that'll be covered shortly. It was a long and painful process (kind of like taking Skele-Grow), but he does have it back. Willow is certified in nearly every area (think of the certification as a College degree, except without taking the courses. They just took the tests.). Her specialty is Charms, though she's no slouch anywhere else. She developed a telepathy spell. Dawnie's wand was a part of her being made human. The wand has a fang from Darla, Angel, Drusilla, and Spike. It's a very unique wand. Buffy no longer needs hers, but she's hung onto it anyway.
