    Sometimes... it would almost seem Albus is a bit precognizant, wouldn't it? ^^

    It was nice to see the little meeting that set the path for the marvelous journey that is "Life as Dictated by a Talking Hat". Nice job.

    You're right, 'Life as Dictated' is better, but this isn't bad. Its really well written, it just doesn't pull you in enough. You could try revealing a little more of the plot that's going to appear in the story proper, to give readers a better idea of where its going. Still enjoyed it though... please update 'Life as Dictated', I'm badly in need of something good to read!

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review!! I agree with your assessment of the prologue. I didn't want to remove it, because it's kinda fun, but it's not as fish-hooky as the first real chapter. LDTH is going to be awhile, now - I just updated it, and so am working on Outcast's Alley, my other story. So it'll probably be +/- two weeks for LDTH.

    This would have made a good flashback scene in the main story. If it had been added into a chapter (or parts of it), it might have worked better. Personally though, I feel that the first chapter in a story (or in this case prologue) says nothing about how the story will be, so I tend to continue reading anyways, just in case. xD

    Author's Response: Sorry for taking so long for responding to this. You have a point - this might have worked better if worked into the rest of the story better. I'm glad you tend to keep reading. :0) I haven't regretted splitting this chapter off, though - I think the story's plot flows better with it distinctly separate. It might also have worked as you suggested, but I'm not going to change it now. W/e. Hope you enjoy the rest of the story!

    Why ever does somebody not like this prologue? It is rather short and to the point. It shows us what the faculty thinks and why they came up with the idea of a "Mentor" for Harry Potter.
    This scene diverts from Canon in a very, very positive way... because I am confused and outraged how Harry was treated in Canon universe... there nobody seemed to know about or care about his home situation or that the Dursleys kept him ignorant of his heritage and the magical world.
    It was expected that he learned overnight how to adapt and cope with everything tuning his world upsidedown. This aproach is much more logical and probable.
    Well more like I imagine responsible teachers would talk about a student... after all. I have an eleven year daughter, ok we are only muggles, but I know some teachers and the headmisstress of her primary school quite well, of her secondary school not so well, but I know the staff talks (and acts if necessary) about helping students with all kind of problems (not that there are many with serious problems) if there is need of this...

    Author's Response: Thanks!! I'm glad you like it, and think it's realistic. Sorry I took so long to respond to this review!! I don't always realize I have reviews for the prologue. Hope you like the rest of the story!
