Another good, albeit short, chapter. I guess there's one or two more, and I look forward to reading them.

Sniff! Sniff! I just loved the ending. This was a really enjoyable and very fine story. Awesome job!

Just to reiterate your failure at writing:
Please throw in a starwars crossover warning, because you blatantly stole the whole lightsaber part of this stupid story from Lucas&co. You even described the sound of the sword as it dissipates the same way someone would describe a light saber shutting off. And once again, you completely stole the Auror vs. Voldey scene from the episode I Darth Maul vs Obi Wan fight.
Author Feedback: Fair comment.

Yeah, I borrowed the Star Wars Epi 1 battle and adapted it to use as part of this story. I have mentioned throughout that I would be borrowing elements from Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and others, because I think they fit the story very well. In that way the work you see here is an homage to those. If you don't like that approach, fine, I respect that. But I don't consider that a failure in writing - all writers borrow from their peers. Nevertheless, thanks for reading.

Wow! What a battle! Of course I see the influence of the last battle of the Jedi, but great adaptation! Now, I can't wait to see how you wind this all up. Great job!

A most exciting, and very nicely choreographed, battle.
I look forward to reading how you tie off all the loose ends and complete various character's parts in the whole.

Great story! I was totally sucked into this and yes, I loved how you used bits of Star Wars, etc. in the story. It's hard to make an omage that works...and one that is subtle enough that it doesn't totally put off your readers.

You've done a really nice job with this story. In particular, the tension between Harry and Hermione has been very well played. It takes real skill to pull off believable tension and drama between characters.

Congrats on a great bit of writing. You deserve the kudos that you've gotten.

wow, great story - just caught up with everything.

now, my only complaints are that it seemed too easy for the horcrux hunt. secondly, i wish you would have made hermione's curse that she got hit with worse than the full body bind, since that's not a bad curse, she used it on neville in 1st year. i know later a couple chapters later that it was a different kind of full body but when they tell harry that she's been "hurt" they just say full body bind, which isn't anything serious. seemed really odd to me.

great writing though, i'm looking forward to the end battle here coming up and the big harmony scene since ron interrupted the last one.

Fucking excellent mate! I just read this all in one night. Normally crossing over elements from popular movies does nothing but titillate and then annoy me, but your story has actually kept me riveted.

V. good. I was interested by the charecter of David and I hope you'll clear up the relationship in whatever way you can.

Wow, your fic is amazing. I just read all the chapters and I literally could not stop reading. Simply amazing...

I'd say this is better than the vast majority of published books I've read (well, compared to those in the action/etc genre). Yikes. I don't know if you know the feeling but sometimes when I'm really into a book I'll start skipping sentences unintentionally just to read faster, then five minutes later I realize that I skipped a sentence then I go back to find it and re-read the whole section, haha. There's just something in this story that drives me along.

This final battle is going to be amazing... whew!
