Can't wait until Dumb-as-a-door discovers that the Addams aren't a muggle family. I've always wanted him to get the lumps he deserves for being a meddling old coot.

This is without a doubt the most original crossover of this time.
I don't think it's been done before, that is to say, involve the Addamses.

You're doing a good job of walking the thin line of weird and creepy versus just weird and evil that is the Addams family life.

As I remember it, Morticia was a witch and so was Wednesday (of course not in the HP sense) and Pugsely was either a spin off of Lester (whatever he may be) or werewolf (depending on what source you take).

Gomez always seemed to lean towards a Vampiric side, presenting the 'smooth operator' side you sometimes see in fiction about these creatures, but it never really came to the for. Am curious on your take about all of these.

Are you keeping to one source or are you just mixing them all up with your own sauce added?

I must say I'm particullarly looking forward to Harry's meeting with Hagrid and his assortment of beasts. Fluffy will indeed be only another fluffy pet to Harry. Hagrid may just about cry

As to Harry, I wonder how he'll end up. Who will his rolemodel be? Will he be like Gomez? A succes at everything, a passionate ladies man and a generous, bold man.

Or will it be Fester? Grandma? Morticia?

I think I'll vote Gomez. I can just see father and son, fencing around the house (from the cartoon), and Harry dazzling the Hogwarts ladies with a "Cara mia" and a hand kiss.

Anticipating more,

Loralee did some Addams Famiy drabbles, and I know Jeconais is working on one (an early version is posted over on the Forums) but his take on it is rather different from mine.   I also saw a fic over on ff.net, but it was abandoned before Harry even met the strange people who'd moved in across the street.   Pity.

Morticia's kind of vampish, and Wednesday is just a little girl.   Grandmama is a witch; she makes potions and flies on a broom.   Pugsley is a nascent Mad Scientist with a strong interest in explosions.   Gomez is Fire to Morticia's Ice - he's not very attractive in the cartoons, so my version owes more to Raul Julia, whose Gomez made my little heart go pitty-pat.

I'm mixing the cartoons, the show, and the movies, tossing them all lightly in my "special sauce" (thanks for the image!)   Living in the same area as Charles Addams  did helps - the whole place is weird.

Oh, yes.   But Harry's going to give it his own inimitable style.

I love it. A truly unique crossover that I never would have suspected. I can't wait to read more.
