Reviews For Life as Dictated by a Talking Hat
Author's Response: Yey! Glad you like!! I'm working on getting Harry a little less angry, but I just couldn't picture him responding well to Snape's interference, still. And yeah, the Dursleys deserve to die. I dunno if Snape should kill them, but I can appreciate the sentiment. :0) Thanks for the review!!
"And here I thought chemical warfare was a horror the wizarding world would never know." - I loved that! And I liked how Harry actually came up with an experiment to see whether Snape would catch him, interesting idea! Author's Response: :0) Yey!! Glad you liked!!
Author's Response: Yey! I'm glad!
Author's Response: I understand your frustration, but please realize that two months is not a lot of time. Things should get happier, soon, but I'm not keeping Harry angry for the sake of 'drama' but rather for realism. People do not change that much in two months. That said, I appreciate the criticism, and your relatively balanced way of putting it.
Author's Response: Yey! Glad you liked!
Author's Response: Yeah, definitely poor Harry. Hopefully things will get happier soon. (I'm working on it...) :0) Thanks for the review!
Also your parting shot with Severus' letter was fantastic. Author's Response: I'm so glad you like it! I got a couple not-so-happy reviews for this chapter so it's really nice to hear that you liked it. Hopefully things will be happier in a chapter or so. (I'm working on it!)
I only got as far as all the boring Transfiguration technicalities, where Harry is like "I am totally awesome and don't realize it" and McGonagall is like "....right. Why me. Why me." or something along those lines BUT I REALLY REALLY NEED TO FINISH MY NOVEL. But golly gee whiz you updated. And not very far from the last one, too! YAAY!! I'll read this later. I promise. Author's Response: LOL yeah, I wasn't sure how to portray what Harry was learning without it being boring. If you've got any suggestions let me know. I look forward to hearing from you once you've read the rest.
Author's Response: Thanks!
I understand that you characterized Harry as damaged and abused, but there is nothing likeable about this kid at all; I'm sorry. It's hard to even get through a chapter anymore. Author's Response: Very well. I appreciate the review, because it alerted me to the fact that the profanity in the one scene was overdone, but I personally blame Snape for the outburst, if anyone - he pushed too hard. And he's allowed that sort of language, in that room, at that time, because he's much less likely to talk otherwise. I'm sorry you find Harry unlikable, but I disagree with you about his behavior. (Of course I do, I wouldn't write him that way if I didn't, right?) Harry feels that he is defending himself. From that perspective, what would otherwise be considered appalling behavior is somewhat justified. A character doesn't have to be easy to get along with to be appealing. I can't please everybody, I guess. |
