Aha! Harry Potter meets spaghetti western. Done well, too!

I really loved the prequel, apprentice potter, and I'm thoroughly enjoying this new story, I just have a small request. I am Italian, and the Falcone surname is quite well know, as that of a hero, a very brave judge assassinated by the mafia in May 1992. I know this is just fiction, and I will keep reading anyway because it's really one of the best works I've encountered so far, I just ask if you could change the name of this mafia guy, as a sign of respect. Have your pick among Riina, Provenzano, Badalamenti, or if you want something more from Rome, google "banda della magliana" for some known names. Those are actually mafia.
Thanks for understanding, and sorry if it took me so long.

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!

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.

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'.

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.
