Great story so far. Very amusing and original. Looking forward to more. I love the concept of Family the Addams have and its just the kind of care that Harry deserves.

HBP confirmed for me that Dumbledore was nothing more than a manipulative old man who uses people. He was also revealed to be a supreme hypocrite in his message that one should do what is right, not what is easy. It was awfully easy for the old bastard to drop Harry off into such a hateful home where he would grow up knowing only hatred and abuse. It certainly wasn't right .

In HBP, by his own words Dumbledore showed that he had known precisely how the Dursleys treated Harry:

"He has known nothing but neglect and often cruelty at your hands. The best that can be said is that he has at least escaped the appalling damage you have inflicted upon the unfortunate boy sitting between you."
...
"The magic I evoked fifteen years ago means that Harry has powerful protection while he can still call this house 'home.' However miserable he has been here, however unwelcome, however badly treated, you have at least, grudgingly, allowed him houseroom." (HBP 3)

If that isn't disgusting, then I don't know anything that ever could be. You can't just brush his actions off by saying that he had good intentions. There is a reason for that old saying about what paves the road to Hell. Dumbledore's so-called good intentions condemned an innocent child to "neglect and cruelty" for sixteen years. "Good intentions" certainly do NOT excuse his allowing the abuse to continue unchecked despite his knowledge of it.

Absolutlely marvelous fic. I've had so much fun catching up with you! I hope the next chapter's coming soon...

I was prepared to blast you if you sorted him into Gryffindor, considering his upbringing. Poor Draco won't know what hit him. Nor will Snape, for that matter...

Oh, brilliant! Now the Gaunt house is gone and the Horcruxes think he's Voldemort. This is amazingly fun!

Oh, hell. You are NOT sending them to Little Hangleton!!!

That was true enough — the core was a whisker from his own wolf form.

I've got to ask how Ollivander (or whoever did the custom job) got hold of that whisker. And how much the wandmaker was bribed not to share the information that this client is a werewolf.

Ishtar replied:

I figure after any given full moon, there are clumps of fur, shed whiskers, blood, etc. all over the place.   Remus's parents could very easily have picked up a whisker while cleaning up one month, and had the wand made by a less than scrupulous wandmaker in Knockturn Alley (I don't think Ollivander would have done this job).   Or Remus himself could have had it custom made after he left school.   Even if finances were tight, a secure wand might have been worth it.   In either case, security could have been maintained by an Unbreakable Vow not to reveal it - for an extra fee, of course.   Or a threat to have a werewolf come visit one full moon might have done the job.

I really enjoyed this story, enough so that I left a review which is not the norm. I would very much enjoy reading further into this plotline.

I love your story! When I first read the summary, I thought it would be a really lame crossover, but its turned out really well. You've done an excellent job of meshing the two worlds in an interesting, plausible fashion. I can't wait for the nest update . . . please say it will be soon?

This is a great story! It has been extremely entertaining seeing this unique crossover. I hope to see more of it soon. I'm looking forward to it!

I just re-read the WHOLE thing and now I want to cry and scream that there isn't any more. Hope you can get the next chapter out soon.

I love this whole idea! It's wacky, fun, utterly unique and filled with lots of delightful little details from both fandoms. Your characterizations are spot on and I adore how well the Addams family fits into the world of Harry Potter. *grins*

I can't wait to see more of this, so please update soon.

Yeehaaaaaawwwww, what a ride this story is Dorothy. I just love how you've captured the feeling of the Addamses and given Harry that point of view along with his other ingrained traits of fairness. It makes for one of the most intriguing and interesting Harry personas I've ever read. Pugs and Wednesday are great as well. Hermione really did belong in Ravenclaw in so many ways, so it is good to see her there. There are so many great elements to this story, that I'll leave it at those few already mentioned, but tell you I can't wait for your next update. This if one great story, dearheart, keep it going. Wouldn't mind seeing updates on the others as well, he said hypocritically. :D

LOL! I was rereading this for the second time, and this time, I got who "Jordan" was... one presumes she chooses a career in Muggle science instead of magic?
