Quote:That's the thing that's killing me about this one. I mean, it's pretty much a by-the-numbers Bobmin fic ("Wacky" disclaimer, Harry/Hermione hookup, strong Harry, manipulative Dumbledore who then gets sunk by his own hubris, etc.) with an interesting take on Goblet of Fire....
When you start off with a "Harry breaks from manipulative Dumbledore, defeats Voldemort, and escapes to a happily-ever-after with Hermione" all in the first chapter, diverging right before Goblet of Fire, ya gotta wonder what kind of wham! they're planning for the real plot meat...
...and then at the end of Chapter One, they take that interesting idea out back and shoot it. Cue another dozen or so chapters of H/Hr romance of the sort we've already seen in a million words or so of previous Bobmin fic, with maybe a little tomb raiding thrown in as a sop to the action fanboys.
