A really rocking story so far, one that I eagerly wait for each day to see an update. Yopu've really managed to do a great cross with the Addams family here, one that rocks out loud. Honestly, I look forward to the family meeting some of the other witches and Wizards outside of Hogwarts as well, because, imo, I think they'd make a heck of an impression. Lucius Malfoy might be angry because of the balance of power switch, but Narcissa, I could see her getting along with them, as the family follows the old customs, and could see her and Morticia chatting away. Looking forward to what happens at Hogwarts next, and nice to see Snape start to get over his general animosity, and maybe start to become the teacher Harry and the others need.

Nice setup there. Now all we have to do is wait for him to get in the Game

Thanks for the excellent chapter! Chuckle.....maybe Snape's will get his act together after all! As for Malfoy.....I wonder if he'll ever realize that he and the thug duo are so outclassed that they might as well be in the next galaxy. Hmmmmm...I wonder if their potions grades will be corrected since Snape knows that they're Slytherin's hope for a first class honest team. It looks like Harry and company are putting their lessons from The Prince and The Art of War to good use! It was also enjoyable to see the invasion of the hospital wing and Dumbledore freaked out by Thing.....and that little hint about a certain court case or lack thereof. Add in the matter of the Trust and both Malfoy Senior and Dumbledore are going to have migraines first class in unison! It was nice to see how Harry and Pugsley have befriended Neville. They should get Hermione to check a certain Tom Riddle. I'm looking forward to the next chapter!

Really nice chapter :) It's nice to see that Snape's attitude is... less nasty :D

Intriging progression. Nice to see that you still used the Quirrell-hexed bludger, and that despite Harry's differences things are progressing similarly to canon... are you planning to follow canon all the way through, or deviate and start a completely separate story arc at some point? (or are you working on the basis that in a loving family, Harry might only need one atempt to dispose of Voldemort like in Dr T's "To the rescue: alternate universe"? Nice idea, but that does deprive us of you writing about Harry and the Addamses deling with the Chamber, Sirius, the Goblet etc, and call me selfish, but I like that idea!)

There will be a lot that's recognizable but also a lot that's different. For example Quirrell using a different kind of hex to make the Bludger attack Harry without Quirrell even having to be there, instead of doing the constant attention jinx on his broom. Halloween will be very different indeed! It would be boring for me and you if I did a straight retelling of canon.

Very nice chapter,
Is snape going to be more friendly towards the addams?
It would make a bit sense if he would, after all harry is a slyterhin this time?
Anyway, keep up the good work and i am waiting for the next chapter in excitement!

It was several hours before he came back in again.
And proceeded to get drunk. <Smirk>
Very well done.

Good chapter. But I was a bit surprised by it. I was expecting them to get Draco at some point. So far it appears to be a rather cold war. No action by the Addams anyway.

I can't wait for the next chapter--the bad guys aren't going to know what hit them.

The Bludger ting was a good twist on canon, but i am wary of the good!Snape and calculating!Snape i can see lurking. I really hope that for once, you won' have one.

Didn't have to rewrite the story; just the first version of this chapter had to be tossed and started over!

This was an excellent chapter. Of course Snape's encouragement to the other Slytherin's
is what caused Harry to be burned by the potion.
Malfoy probably made it and put it in Harry's bed. I'm glad Thing is there. That is such a good image. I really enjoyed Thing in the Adams family series. This is such a great take off from the 2 story lines. I think it is great that Pugsley and Harry are making friends with Neville and Hermione. I'm glad Harry helped Neville even though they are in different houses. It looks like Harry is going to be tearing down the House Boundaries. That is great. I really like the way that Harry got on the Quiditch team this time around. It is really interesting about the bludger. Did Snape just happen to come up and save the day? Did Quirril hex the bludger like he did in canon? It looks that way but time will tell I hope. I look forward to the next chapter. Thank you for writing. pms

This story is so great! I snicker every time Dumbledore comes up against Morticia. I'm not a big fan of evil Dumbledore, but manipulative Dumbledore, when he gets one-upped, can be funny. Hope things are settling down at home, so you can continue this story. (I know, Christmas is coming, so is family, so is crazy time, but I can hope, can't I?)

Nice chapter, but the Addams are being too kind to DoubleDumb and Dumber, his pet bat.
Do we, the readers, need to re-read the story since you say you rewrote it?
Ishtar replied:
No, no, it was just the one chapter! I had it about half written, RedPat reminded me of something, and I had to trash it and start from scratch! You don't have to re-read anything! (Although apparently I do ...)

‘Will Work for Gloves.’
That had me laughing so hard my asthma kicked in! Which is odd cause I never was a Addams Family fan, I was more of a Man from U.N.C.L.E fan but I'm enjoying your work though!
