The combat in this chapter was pretty bad... I don’t think a less competent Harry could have been written. There is absolutely no consistency in the spell selection. At one moment, standard kid spells are thrown around, then effective spells and then right back to the stupidly ineffective ones. Either Harry realizes he’s actually fighting or not... it’s irrational to go back and forth...

Wonderful storytelling! Excited to read more!

This is an interesting read, looking forward to more

İnteresting

I am enjoying your story. Looking forward to more Harry and Daphne interactions.

Too contrived that they got out of that with no real injuries. Plot armor is strong in this.

Dumbledore says: " ...currently are at",
"...are currently at".

IMO, sounds bit like end of sentence preposition, like ever more common shit vernacular common phrases like "we're we at", "AT" also uneeded, unnecessary and redundant. Less of a kid grammar or uncouth adult, if you rephrase those two lines.

Bit odd, kid Harry apparating (**cough** accidental magic) to school roof. Sidealong apparating Daphne during freefall. Then so much trouble learning to apparate. But OTH it was written seamlessly and wandless protego coming easy balances out the "learning curve" of a "?training up a Bamf OP Harry " perhaps.
Brainstorming up ..."more" substance to wandless vs wanded, could be nice addition.

I keep loving this story more and more. I am digging new Dumbledore.

Honestly, in a way, most authors have it tough. There is no clear definition of how a wizard becomes powerful, so it really is up to interpretation. Which leads to Harry either becoming OP, or underpowered.

I am keen to see how you will strike this balance. It is fairly obvious that you are trying to walk a tightrope...making Harry powerful, but not too ahead of his peers. The use of Apparition under duress is a good touch, and mirrors realism. The Shield Charm, less so, but I will attribute it to Harry's own natural talent, which is depicted similarly in canon. After all, Harry spent a good deal of time with his friends just studying and practicing spells, without a mentor.

Keep up the good work. Interested for the next chapter

Interesting Dumbledore, nice plot so far, am really looking forward to character and plot development

So basically half of the introduction or 3 of the 6 chapters so far were a continuous battle for escape and survival. Kids with only 3 years of basic education took on at least two major groups of well trained adult well trained individuals with a plan and much better logistical information, power, and Skill, not to mention at least 3 to 1 odds in the best case during any of the numerous fire fights and a tracking charm for the enemy. They fought to a draw for two days until Dumbledore got his act together and figured out what was going on. That sort of diminishes the competency and intellect of everyone in the fracas, doesn't it? I'd be sort of dubious of excepting help from anyone at that point.

Very good story. Dumbledore is excellent in this story and he is mentoring Harry quite nicely.

It will be interesting to see how much Harry learns from his summer intense training

I like this story, my only problem has been Harry’s character. Too trusting, and why would he go with Fudge twice willingly after how he treated them and Sirius at the end of the last year?

Good man Dumbledore, meeting Harry’s future in-laws (presumably)
