Being a fan of both the Addams and Potter worlds is is wonderful of you to combine them both in an amusing and well told tale. I am really, really looking forward to the next chapter. Well Done!!

wow i never knew that "If you need anything, just scream." would be used nicely as an ending to this chapter. i can't wait for more chapters to pop up sooner or later. *starts whistling the Addams Family theme*

*grins*   Lots of people seem to be whistling that, all of a sudden.

"Good show old man!"

One of the stranger crossovers I've seen. However, I honestly can't wait to see more of it. The possibilities are endless! :)

Bwahahaha! This is rich, old Petunia's a bit over her head on this one. So far, very good, I look forward to more, thank you.

I'm not usually one for cross-overs, but I think I'll like this one.

One typo found:

"adjoining parlour. She"

This paragraph just ends after the word "She".

Methinks Petunia will be going into shock soon... :-)
So far I think you're hitting the right light touch, with a bit of the light humour / off-kilter-from-society feel of the old TV show, without steppinng into the campiness -er- camp.

thanks

Very nice. I liked the way you're developing Morticia and Petunia. However you implied Petunia and Morticia are blood relations which doesn't fit with Petunia being related by blood to the Addams'

Ishtar replied:

For purposes of this story, Morticia's maiden name was also Addams.   Gomez is a second or third cousin of hers, as is Petunia.   The Addams Family is large, and there's lots of intermarriage.   (In the TV show, Morticia's maiden name was Frump, but I just couldn't see a woman like her ever being a Frump.)

A wonderful begining. I can't wait to see Harry live up to his ancestry, even half as well as Wednesday and Pugsley do.

Hooooo boy. ;-)

Now, that I get that monster off my chest (and the sticky, brown fluid wiped off the monitor) - I salute you ;-)

This is the first Addams-family / Harry Potter crossover I have ever seen and I enjoyed it very much.

Oh well done in deed...

I like how you have combined the two families and actually made them believeable

Got a question... Grimmauld Place - Square or Circle??? I'm trying to remember and can't find reference to it!

As Always,

*Chuckle* I think Petunia is going to end up being rather glad to get back to Vernon and Dudley. Either that, or life on Privet Lane is going to seem rather boring after visiting the Addams abode.

Ishtar replied:

Or both.   She's not going to be the same person, I can promise you that.

Beatifully written. And, yet, the idea of an HP and Addams family scares me. Fascinating. Scarey. I suppose that's the Addam's family.

Once again you prove you're a great writer :)

I did see a mistake of sorts...

Petunia whirled, to see a tall, slim woman, clad in a form-fitting black gown, coming out of a door from an adjoining parlour. She

She... what? :D

Looking forward for the next chapter :)

Hmmmmm.....I think that if Lily and James and to pick between Moticia and Petunia raising Harry Morticia would win hands down! Thanks for the chapter, and I'm looking forward to the next one!

My God. I can hear Morticia's voice.

You're an astounding writer, and it's a pleasure to read your work.
