Reviews for The Hufflepuff Chronicles Year of the Stone
I am POWER chapter 3 . 7/17
Well...i admit it started out good, then all the cliches i dislike about HP fanfics started poping out. I'm not gonna list them here but just a bit disapointed that there are very very few hufflepuff harry fics that maintain canon characterizations. Im a canon purist so this is just me. Sorry, for what its worth, the story was good. Thoigh personally i think you were a bit too direct with showing character's thoughts. Ive always enjoyed it better when feelings and thoights are shown through interaction and implications.

Sqweeeee! Love love love this story concept so far! Soo much better when Harry isn't being treated like dirt all the time! Hufflepuffs for the win!

So it sounds like Dudley is going to come home at one point and his parents are gone. Just lile that. Did you forget about him?

I loved this fic. Unlike some of the other fics I’ve read that talk about Harry’s abusive sitch this one actually talks about the state Harry’s mind would be in after years of the Dursley’s diminishing of his ego. However it doesn’t go very dark and it is still an inspirational story. No matter how many trolls say this is bad you did amazing.

Interesting twist. The main trouble with it is your spelling and word usage is atrocious. Example: you keep mixing up quiet (which means silence or decrease sound by volume).and quite (which means to the utmost extent). It's the kind of mistake that wouldn't be caught by spellchecker.

I just wish that this story could be more about Harry in this new environment, and less about investigating child abuse. I’ve never actually read a non-crack Harry in Hufflepuff story before, so I was looking forward to that, but it’s kind of hard to keep slogging through this old chestnut.

I think my most common HP fanfic complaint is when authors go on a seven chapter Gringotts/shopping trip. There’s no such thing as a rule that should never be broken, and “show don’t tell,” is no exception. Those seven chapter shopping trips serve no purpose in the story other than to outfit the character, which won’t have any real impact on the story. Even the most stilted and awkward summary sentence of that shopping trip will be better than seven chapters of ultimately pointless shopping. The same thing is essentially true with the child abuse case work here.

The actual thing that matters is the results, and those only matter for the effect they have on Harry’s development as a character. All that is happening when you show the investigation instead of staying with Harry’s perspective is that we get a bunch of information that someone is going to have to tell Harry later anyway, and when they do we'll read a summary of it, and that summary will be vastly more important to the story because we will see it through the eyes of the protagonist.

When you get down to it, the fact that Amelia Bones is sickened by child abuse is never going to be very interesting. How could it be? We already know it. How an abused Harry reacts to her is the important thing, and this story has pretty thoroughly lost sight of that.

Usually when a story annoys me enough to write a long review a few chapters in I fool myself into thinking that I’m going to keep reading it, but I never do, and I can already tell that this is no exception. Which bums me out because I wanted to see where this was going.

Hope the groups eventually include a certain Granger Girl, due to Neville convincing her that she needs contacts to go along with her book smarts.
These groups of children will stand Harry in good stead when certain events seem to come crashing into him like high tide.

Oh good Harry will become better acquainted with Neville because of their association in this gardening club of other students who help Professor Sprout!
But may I make a suggestion? It occurs to me that Ron should only be "Ron" when he isn't being a closed minded, open mouth prat. But Ronald when he is. That's all!

Good writing, so far! Even if u r still getting "where" in place of "were"!

you do know in the book ron never said anything bad about girls, and harry was the one that keep talking and bring ron closer so they could be friend,

I absolutely loved this one. Especially that final prank and the fact that Harry created it on his own. Such a wonderful change...now to go read more lol.
