I don't understand why they would even risk sending Harry to Hogwarts. I thought they'd want to keep him out of England until he was of age and able to fend for himself (with their backing) in the magical world. Putting him at Hogwarts puts him under Dumbledore's power, who has proven to be untrustworthy.

Am I very much mistaken in assuming that their new home is currently referred to as "the Riddle House" and is located in Little Hangleton? Nice touch, Dorothy

Very good! Please continue.

At first I was thinking the shreaking shack, but then it hit me, of course, the riddle house!

What fun!

I have to admit, when I first started reading this fanfic, I thought it was going to be a farce. BUt I was WRONG!! I have thoroughly enjoyed the portrayal of Morticia, Gomez, Fester, Grandmama, Lurch, and Thing, along with the children of course. Your portrayal of the character reminds me strongly of Angelica Huston and Raul Julia as they played Morticia and Gomez (one of my fave couples btw)! The detail you have gone into about the house and grounds is outstanding - keep up the great work! I eagerly look forward to the next chapter!

I have also enjoyed reading your fic "Fidelius" and I hope that there will be a new chapter soon. Its been way too long, although I know how RL has the habit of interfering...dammit all!!

Anyway, keep up the wonderful work!

Thank you very much.   It would be hard to keep up a farce for 100,000+ words, which is what this seems to be aiming for (and while I can do short comedy, I've never tried a true farce).   I think the humor level I have done so far in FV is more sustainable.   I love the Addams Family in all three of its incarnations and I'm trying to juggle all three to come up with something that won't be too incongruous with the HP world, which I also love.   My mental images of the characters are those of the movies (the first two, not the direct to video thing with Daryl Hannah as Morticia).   The house is modeled after one I visited when I was a teenager, but bigger.

I will be returning to Fidelius (and Junior Year Abroad) after NaNoWriMo is over.   I'm going to try to kick myself into getting at least one chapter of something out per week.   Maybe more, but at least that.

What a wonderful and quirky fic! I recognized a few things from cartoons and some others from the movie. Nicely done. Love how they keep Dumbles off kilter and how they took Remus in.

Oh, thank you thank you thank you for this story. I love the Adams family, and I love HP stories, especially alternate histories for Harry's upbrining.

I am enjoying this story tremendously, and look forward to the next chapter.

Wow. I'm not usually a big fan of crossovers, but this is good stuff. Your Gomez is done really well, I can imagine him saying that in my head. Let's just say I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival in the new home.

This is a HOOT!!!!!

Some of my favorite books as a teenager were the collections of Charles Addams cartoons.

Hogwarts doesn't know what is going to hit it!!!

Uh-oh. I'm smelling something about Little Haggleton (sp?) in this chapter.

Boy, is ol' Tommy gonna be in for a surprise!

Okay, that rocked. I'm glad Remus gets along so well with the Addams'. I like how Americans are so progressive about Werewolves, awesome. Honestly, I'm looking forward to the next chapter. Cheers.

Just had a quick reread, and also browsed the reviews. I noticed a couple things

1) You're being buried in reviews. I hope that isn't becoming a burden -- to your NaNo goal I mean.

2) No one else seems to have noticed that you described Harry as (emphasis mine) "TALL and slim". Not going to be a shortie this time... :-)

blessings,
...art

Ishtar replied:

*dances in the rain of reviews* love it love it love it!   It doesn't seem to be hurting my NaNo progress; I'm still well ahead of schedule and should hit 50,000 in only two or three more chapters.  

Harry is, indeed, not a pipsqueak.   There's no cupboard and inadequate nutrition to stunt his growth.   He does, unfortunately, still have to wear glasses.

This. Is. AMAZING!! I finally decided to read this fic b/c I'm home sick (pink eye) and I'm SO glad I did- I especially like the addition of Remus. Can't wait for the next chapter!

Nice to see Remus in such a better state of affairs. Will the Reservation portkey work internationally? Nice to see Manipulative!Dumbledore manipulated by a pro. You've captured the Addams Family perfectly. Keep up the great work.
