You can't blame Harry there. It would be awkward going your whole life with people gawking at you every minute.

This is one of my favorite fics, ever!

*grins* Oh, I love this. This is why I read fanfic – so that once in a while, I will stumble over a gem like this one.

I’m not sure of where to begin. This is an exquisite piece, and I’m afraid that the only criticism I could provide would be to check some typos and missing blank spaces, but I won’t waste your time with that. If you wanted to correct such tiny details, I’m sure that lots of good betas would be willing to work with the kind of story you have here. When randomly browsing through categories I have learned not to expect too much – and then this appears, and it’s pure quality.

Well, let’s begin with your language. I glanced at your profile and there you tell us that your first language actually is French – well, then I can only compliment you all the more for having, and making such spectacular use of, such an extensive vocabulary. You write with an incredible flow and I didn’t spot a single sentence that didn’t merge seamlessly with the next. Reading this was almost like listening to a piece of instrumental music; the basic tones are so excellent that a song, a story, is almost unnecessary.

That said – I wouldn’t have wanted to miss out on this story! It’s simple, but in a good sense. Some authors might have been tempted to go into lengthy explanations about why Harry has been cut off from the magical world, but you just let us wonder, and I will confess that I’m mightily intrigued! :) Instead, you not only focus on Malcolm Talbot (what a well-picked name, by the way), but you actually tell the story from his point of view, giving us a very interesting picture of Harry.

Ah, your descriptions, of both characters and settings – I feel like I could go on reading them forever. For my taste, you provide the perfect amount of detail to paint a shiny picture of scenery and emotion. You never overdo it, but manage to let me see, feel, and be a part of what you’re writing.

The ending is surprisingly well done, too. Not that I didn’t expect it to be good, but it can be difficult to pull off a satisfying ending to something like this. But you’ve put Malcolm on the Hogwart’s Express, excited as he should be and with a new-found friend next to him. Sort of a full circle there, and it’s a nice feeling. That is, until you let Malcolm learn what has happened to Harry – but not us! It’s frustrating, it’s mysterious, I’m longing to know, and yet the story feels finished and complete. I’m not sure how you do it; I might have to read over your story a few more times, but in an case it’s very, very well done.

Now, there’s nothing left for me to say but thank you – thank you for sharing such a lovely piece of fanfiction!

Cool plot. I really felt how Malcolm was feeling, and got into the story. It's always a little weird seeing Harry from another character's prosepective, but you did and awesome job. :-)

I really enjoyed this story. I think it still has a lot of potential to be more. i hope that someday you will expand on this idea. This story could go so many ways.
