Hey, I have been going back and reading some of these old completed stories and I wanted to say that I really love this story. From what I remember of it I know I enjoyed it a lot and decided to read it again so I can remember it better. I don't believe I reviewed it before so here mine is now, I know its way too late but better late then never...

I'm surprised that Harry & Hermione didn't go to either Mcgonagall or Dumbledore and talk to them about cell phones. I imagine that the first time they ring in a classroom, they will be added to the list of forbidden items. Cell phones were actually banned from school properties by State Law in Illinois from the mid-1980s until the early 2000s when pressure from parents to repeal the law were put in effect. Now, most schools have also repealed the ban, but usually have some policy that they must either be switched off or set to "vibrate" during class time. Actually, I've only heard of colleges using the vibrate option.

Also, as this is presumably taking place in June 1994, the Internet was in its infancy (or at least toddler stage). Home access was JUST starting to become available. It is doubtful that Hermione would have heard much of it while at Hogwarts. Her parents might have and told her about the "new thing". People didn't really start looking for 'net access at home until MicroSoft came out with Windows 95 and included Internet Explorer. It made people start wanting to get it. It is more likely that Hermione would wire the phones and get an account with an On-line service. I don't have a clue what was in England however. Maybe Compuserve or Genie.

There are some anachronisms in this chapter. James and Lily were presumably killed at the end of October 1981 while hiding for some time. While it is concievable that Lily might have bought an Atari or an Intelivision, it is doubtful she would have also gotten a computer. The IBM PC didn't come out until August of '81, and they were in hiding at that time. They might have had an Apple II, II+, or a Commodore PET. These were mostly for hobbiests. It wasn't until the Apple IIe, the IBM PC, and the Commodore 64 came out that the average Joe started buying computers. Oh, and the Macintosh in 1984.
Author Feedback: Apparently, you didn't read the summary. "...21st century technology is used (as though this story started in 2003 instead of 1993."

Loved the story and i liked the twist about Harry being an intentional horucrux. Going to start the sequel.

Well, I'm finally getting around to reading some of your earlier works. I haven't seen many divergences from 3rd year since before Order of the Phoenix came out. I liked the taunting of Malfoy and hope it sets the theme for the story. I normally wouldn't make comments on individual chapters for a finished fics, but with Portkey's review-mongering I'll use the opportunity to point out any plot holes or errors that you might want to correct.

interesting chapter. I have enjoyed time meddlers and have decided to check this out. I like Ron's reactions so far, as they fit his jealous, narrow-minded attitude. I also really liked Harry's take on Albus' reaction of not caring about him if he demands he goes back to the dursleys.

OMG! It took me two days to read this entire story and I have to say that it was fantastic! I liked your version of events leading up to the TriWizard Tournament and its aftermath. It was a compelling story to read...I enjoyed Harry & Hermione's new powers, Neville & Ginny being more involved, a little less (pratty)Ron and all the hilarious pranks they pulled (especially with Krum, and the menage a trois of Malfoy, Crabbe, & Goyle). It was nice to see Sirius alive and interacting with Harry & Lupin, as well as little comeuppance for Dumbledore with some of the decisions he made regarding Harry. I loved the Grangers, too! Although there are some who will say that Harry & Hermione moved a little to fast into their romance or that Moldyshorts was defeated too quickly, I really liked the flow of this story - it's fanfiction after all, and can go wherever the writer wants to take it, canon be damned! I have enjoyed reading your other work (Harry McGonagall & The Time-Meddlers) and I am going to read all the others I have not yet read - I guess I am turning into a big fan! Cogratulations on this story - it was awesome! Keep up the wonderful writing!!
Now on to the sequel!!

after completing the marathon of reading this story in one shot i want to say it was magnificent, i'm half tempted to start reading the next installment right away but 9 hours in a chair reading on a computer is slightly uncomfortable

i love how a simple change can alter the course of history, you truly write your stories well illustrating the events that are changed do to the butterfly effect of one change in the past. your a very talented writer and i hope you explore more areas of writing outside of the HP fanfic realm.

brilliant in the adaption of muggle technology to fit the magical world, very good as i'm learning many of your stories can be, while i still hope ron might find some redeeming qualities before this story comes to a conclusion
