Journeyman Potter

Oh, I liked this chapter *very* much. Harry wiped the floor with a pompous jerk - nothing new there. But the way Harry humiliated the prick not once but twice, and then allowed him to kill himself with his own wand? On orders from the idiot's own arrogant father? Now that was inspired. I like the backfiring wand trick almost as much as the remote casting and the ability to "push" objects.

Definitely a fun chapter to read.

Oh, I love that. Not only using spells but various trinkets and items as well. Very fun!

Thank You!

Glad to have someone logical on the site to counter kokopelli's nonsense.

Fantastic.
excellent characterization, believable people,realistic dialog, and enough 'gotcha' moments to keep my interest up. I'm really enjoying this story so much that I expect to miss most of my sleep tonight.

Good job.

Excellent. Loved Harry's additude and the goings on. Especially the reverse spell on the wand. Darwin rides again!

bad-ass. great fight sequence, the first hand really does somethign else for the fight sequences. great chappie.

excuse me, i just had to state.

The reason that St. Peters is so magnificent and opulent is due to the evolution of the high renaissance and a return to the antique. St. Peters, designed by Bramante, one of the foremost architects in Italy at the time, is on par with the Pantheon, The Great Bath Houses, and the Colisseum in terms of extravagence. Why, you ask? Due to the neglect of the catholic church at the time to their ideals, and when Pople Julius the Second rose to the papacy, he was a firm believer in the arts and restoring the papacy to its intended glory. Like it or not, The catholic holiest of all holy places, the vatican, must be extravagent, a stapel of god's dominion on earth. And Julius just so happened to drive the french and the spanish out of their hold on Rome, and restore all of the glory to Catholic power in Italy by his onesee self. Savvy?

Now, great story. But Harry's views seem to be your views, so i thought i'd give a little quick bit of a history lesson. Read a book about Renaissance Italy from Duccio's Maesta all the way to Titian's Sedonese high-altarpiece, and you will understand St. Peter's importance. now then, back to the story.

Read the first post.

Now, go write 3 feet of parchment explaining exactly why your licence to read fanfiction shouldn't be revoked.

What else can you say about a pair of bright, blue and yellow-stripped pants that look as though they are doubling as incontinence trousers after a heavy night of fifteen pints of Guinness, two curries, four boiled eggs and a bean sandwich?

This made me laugh so hard I cried.

Interesting chapter.

Dude! a well trained proactive Harry... Who would have thunk it??

Outstanding. Love it when the bad guys det their due. Nice writing.

Hurray, no more Mr. "I have to protect my enemies so they can come back and try to kill me again." However, Mr. Falcone should have been brought down and eviscerated by Harry, since he called for Harry to be killed. Must assert yin/yang.

I love the story i really do. This is how Harry should act and not some pathetic nancy boy as characterized by Rowling. However, I noticed in this chapt. about the comments on witch burning and the catholic church. Sorry to burst your bubble but the protestants and more importantly england and the US burned alot more witches that the catholics. Dont get me wrong plenty of burning on both sides, just protestant countries tended to burn more 'witches'.

Loved it!!! more

I love what you have written so far. It is interesting and one of the more original fics I've read. ALso love how Harry isn't just getting more powerful, but smarter too and how we watched him get smarter. Update soon please.

Excellent, and incorporating the Horcruxes is a stroke of genius. Vatican conspiracies though? That old chestnut? Ah well, magical ones make a nice change from Dan Brown clones, the Bonfire of the Vanities and the Borgias [though we know Lucrezia at least was a witch]. My sig sort of compels me to be biased here; don't let Harry have an easy ride. The Italians really did write the books on sneaky politicking, suffering witches and thoroughly stuffing the English.

well i liked how you have linked the 6th into your story, make you wander how much of falcone that dumbledore knew of and when our hero will find out

WOW..... i didn't even know there was a sequel. So far it lives up to the expectation you set with Apprentice Potter and im sure that won't change in the future...

And im glad someone protested FF.nets ridiculious restrictions on stories even with their hypocritcal motto.

I enjoy your stories; I always have, and this one is no exception.

What I do NOT enjoy are your gratuitous attacks on the Catholic Church. I respectfully request that you refrain from such in the future. They are offensive and are certainly not germane to the story.

Now that was absolutly funny, at least he managed to get through France without any serious trouble lol. Harry there in Rome had me in stitches. Look forward to seeing what happens next.
