Reviews For Word Up
Your explanation for how spells are created was *really* well done. JKR never explained this, but your ideas make such good sense and can apply to all of the various kinds of spells we see in canon. I wish your explanation *was* canon, it's so good. Then everyone would be using it. Author's Response: Thanks! That spell explanation was trying and I'm really glad it came out as well as it did. I spent a lot of time looking through the books trying to find info on that even though I was pretty sure there wasn't any. Then I just said the hell with it and sat down for an hour and made it up. I wish I could ask JKR if this is what she had in mind. Does the HP lexicon have a theory section? Maybe I'll send it over there. LOL Anyway, glad you're enjoying this and thanks!
Cheers Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I'm glad the training stuff came out ok. That's been the work of several hours thought. Enjoy!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! (Bathing in yummy candies)
You used really good description in the scene down by the lake. I could definitely picture the differences in Snape and Harry's movements when attempting to dodge spells without jumping. I hope Harry doesn't do anything stupid at any more Order meetings, although this IS Harry we're talking about and he gets in trouble every five minutes it seems. However, he seems to be maturing slightly in this story, and I like that. As long as he doesn't get TOO mature. lol. ;) This story is awesome. I'm so happy you updated, and I can't wait for the next one! Author's Response: Ok, I have a huge grin on my face now. Thank you so much for your review! I was thinking the same thing as I flipped throught the books this last week because I was trying to find a way to describe the wordless spells. Then I was like, the hell with it. I'll make it up. It's a relief that it makes sense. It took two hours to work that one out. Score! I was kind of laughing at what it must look like, Harry jumping out of the way of those spells. As for stupid mistakes...we'll see. ;^) Thank you so much. I can't wait to finish this next one just so I can see what you say! Enjoy!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! The first in a long line of useful lessons I hope (maybe for both). It's all about reflex.
Author's Response: It's all in good fun. LOL! But yeah, me too!!!!! Thanks for the review!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! Super spy...I hope it's not over the top. I give him alot of credit for having survived thus far being at odds with both sides. And after so many years of being a spy and/or planning and preparing for Voldemort's return, I imagine he'd have that position pretty well defined. I don't know if you've ever done tutoring, but I've learned from tutoring chemistry that you learn alot more about a subject when you try to teach it. I imagined that the whole time he was writing his defense book, he was analysing his own actions, words, etc...in various past situations and through that became even better. Wow, I just wrote a book as a response! I'm glad Snape is interesting. I'm hoping in time I can make Harry just as interesting, because JKR did. And I really appreciate your review. Thanks again. Enjoy!
Author's Response: Thanks! I really appreciate that. More to come soon. Enjoy!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm always thrilled to hear that Snape's portrayal is good, he's a tough one. Will update soon. Looking forward to hearing from you again!
I'm laughing by the way. Out loud. At work. As for the story, I love it. This was a great chapter. I just knew Harry would get into some sort of trouble, but I wasn't expecting Molly to accuse Snape of hitting or mistreating Harry. It makes sense, though, because the first thing that (probably) comes to most everyone's mind when thinking about Snape as a guardian is an image of a strict man who isn't afraid of handing out a beating... So I thought that was a good scene. I loved the juxtaposition of Molly and Snape. Unusual and interesting. I think you do a really nice job with dialogue as well. You also have a great way of describing things in detail. I just can't seem to get a handle on Harry's shaved head, though...lol. Poor kid. Excellent job overall! I can't wait for the next chapter! Author's Response: Thanks for the review! (and the vote...that's a good one) I had some fun writing the Molly scene. I like Molly, but I just can't see anyone who loves Harry being thrilled with Snape watching over him. And we all know how protective she can be now. ;^) That shaved head...I know what you mean. I wrote that part and I still have to remind myself that he's bald sometimes. |
