Comment by Auska on 05/05/14
You writing is decent, and I respect your talent. However, there are a few things that I do not respect.

As a transgender male, I find this story...offensive, to say the least. My sister has large breasts, and she has back pains because of the weight of them. Having large breasts is not "the greatest thing since sliced bread", she and my mother would agree that large breasts are horrible.
I also happen to know that if I receive a sex change, it will not change my sexual orientation. You have simply changed the characters' gender, not their mental work up. Harry is a straight male, and therefore once he is a woman, he should still be into females, thus making him a homosexual.

I have only ever read part of the first Harry Potter book, but in that Harry's hair is described as black, and not "chestnut brown" and there are no "locks", either.

Voldemort's obsession to slaughter Harry would have come through. If he knew that Harry was living with the Dursleys, all he had to do was sneak in there, and murder the boy while he slept (since, according to you, his scar does not exist.) Also, you never really explained how Muggles, meaning non-magical folk, had the ability to use magic to turn Harry into a girl.

I don't know if this was intentional or not, but you made it out to be that the worst punishment imaginable is to become a woman. My feminine side wept a little when I got that feeling. Is being a woman truly that much of a horrible state that it is used as punishment?

As I said before, your talent is good and is deserving of respect. Your subject matter, unless properly researched, is not and is offending. I know that it is fiction, but even fiction can hurt. I hope that the next time you write a story about something like this, you are a little more enlightened about a person's mental state when they are changed from one gender to another. Also a little more shock, anguish and terror at being transformed into a girl would be a little more realistic.

Please keep in mind that I do not wish to offend you, nor was it my intention to tear your down. I wanted you to know that your lack of empathy towards a straight male being turned into a female is heart breaking, and rather demoralizing to women.

I do hope that you continue to write, as I have said twice before, you have the talent for it.

Good luck with your future endeavours.

Auska.

You have an unhealthy obsession with breasts and I want you to know that. Your story consisted lengthy, detailed paragraphs of how it's awesome to have giant boobs. As a woman myself, I can simply say having large breasts isn't everything. Had you actually payed more attention to the actual Harry Potter story, you would have avoided heavy plot holes that constantly struck your story every so often. Non-magical beings cannot perform magic spells, how in the world did Harry's scar just magically disappeared in the first chapter when Voldemort appeared... and the fact that every single male character in this story clearly forgot the fact that the girls they're drooling over used to be dudes. I seriously hope that you've stopped writing fan fiction because I kind of find this kind of writing to be an example as to why people are getting dumber by the minute. I also hope you're not the kind of person who enjoys grabbing her own boobs in public, because some of the manners you got these girls acting tells me you enjoy doing stuff like that yourself. Also, nice choice in stylizing your characters. I always thought that Ron should be the slut of the group!

I just never would have pictured Ron being the slut.

Comment by Dexter Morgan on 09/21/11
I'm sorry but this is atrocious. I don’t have to explain, its well, everything that is wrong! It is cringy to read and sickening to see the way you’ve maimed the characters personalities. The canon and plot is all over the place and the thought of Voldemort becoming some anime girl thing is not only baffling but insulting to all us Potter fans who expect to see some sort of respect of J.K’s work within these fanfiction stories. Please don’t write anything like this ever again.

Comment by Dissappointed Fanfic writer on 08/03/11
I have no problems with TG fanfics, but there are so many things about this fanfiction that just don't ring true to me. I'm a Potter fan, and I understand that fanfictions tend to require at least a certain amount of canon bending where the plot of the original is so tightly knitted, but honestly; the only thing that seems canonical about your characters are their names. There are a number of plotholes and character nuances which make this piece seem like a totally unrelated story that just happens to have characters with the same names. None of your characters behaviour or motivations are even close to Rowling's originals.

You have a gift for writing, but in my opinion, not for constructing a story in a universe where the characters are already so clearly defined. I believe you would be much better off creating your own universe and characters - giving you the freedom to write the characters how you feel they should be.


Comment by HarryPlothole on 01/27/11
Alright, first question;

Why would changing your gender change your sexual preference? Attraction doesn't just switch back and forth like this story seems to imply.

Secondly, have you even read the books? The personalities and motivations of the characters in this fic are baffling to say the least. It's very hard take this story seriously.

Next question, why on earth is no one alarmed at these sudden and disturbing changes? Most people would not be so accepting of such circumstances. At the very least it would warrant more than a vague look of surprise.

My final query is this, What possessed you to turn Harry Potter into such an over-the-top mary sue? I mean really, look at what you've done. Superpowers,instant make-over,deities, sudden attraction from characters who never showed a previous interest...need I go on?

From what I can see, you do have some promise as a writer. You seem to have a decent grasp of grammar and spelling in most cases. It's your story ideas and character 'development' that need a great deal of work.


Comment by ReaderRoute on 01/27/11
This so called 'story' of yours, is highly disturbing. I have read my share of odd fan-fiction but this one really takes the cake. What on earth were you thinking?!

The reactions of the characters were completely non-canon, and the plot holes are EVERY WHERE! This is like a bad anime gone semi-porno.


Comment by Another Disgruntled Author on 12/08/10
Phily's Rose, Ashen Ray & Tariel Corbeau -- clearly the comments are from the same individual; a person with far too much time on his hands and who is obviously not being properly supervised by his parents when he uses the family's computer.

As for me, I really enjoyed your Holly Potter stories and I'll eagerly read any future such works from you, Kim.

i dont know what these people are talking about
surley they relise this is a tg fiction site.If it was
not for the likes of you there would not be a site to visit.
Please keep the good work up so we can get site up and running
sooner than later

Comment by Philys Rose on 11/28/10
You have proceeded to murder the Harry Potter books, and NOT EVEN PAY ATTENTION TO THE FUCKING TIME LINE!! I hope you die. I love Harry Potter and for one thing, is is WORSE then My Immortal. FAR FAR FAR worse. For crying out loud the "Goddess" is not one to change men into women and that old guy I can not help but imagine "Ron" being raped. Then I imagine "Harry" being raped by Snape, then malfoy, then Voldermort.
That is what I imagined as this story went on. For one thing as well, that kid with the camera...Colin I think his name was, WOULD STAY AS A FUCKING GIRL AND THEY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN HIS PERMISSON in order to say, okay we do this and you can't change back.
ALSO, you violate the books so bad that I would enjoy the thought of Voldermort KILLING you, having one of the Death Eaters rape your corpse then feeding it to a large pet snake. THAT is a nice thought.

Comment by Ashen Ray on 11/28/10
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! For one thing, you turned Voldermort into a fucking anime character! FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKING GOD I WANT TO STAB YOU! NEVER FUCKING WRITE AGAIN YOU FUCKING RETARD! I fucking hate you so much. YOU KNOW NOTHING OF HARRY POTTER!! YOU FUCKING FUCKWIT! FUCKWIT FUCKWIT FUCKWIT!! GO and fucking DIE in a ditch!

Comment by Tariel Corbeau on 11/28/10
Plot holes of plot holes batman! A big one, VOLDERMORT does not truly exist until what...the fourth book? So sorry that does not work, and for one thing, Harry would NEVER dream about becoming a french maid, he dreams of VOLDERMORT KILLING PEOPLE. So change that, and maybe I will take this stupid story seriously. ((Plus Voldermort does not just KILL Harry? What the fuck with up with that?))

Comment by robin on 03/10/08
it was great! write more!!

Comment by Stanley Morton on 07/29/07
Well done!! I love the way you got rid of the Dursley's and have the Dursley boy want to stay a girl. Now if you continue the series, have the Dursley's return. Mr. Dursley grow into a nice boy and Mrs. Dursley into a WITCH since her sister was a witch. Dursley girl joins Hogwarts when she develops magic too.

Comment by Leah on 12/23/05
this was a great story your a very good writer nvr give it up, i do agree some of the stuff didnt seem like what they would say but hey this a fan fic u can stretch stuff uknow otherwise GREAT STORY KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK... im going to be up for the next couple of hours reading ur next one!.. which its already 321am so bleh :)

Comment by Danielle on 02/15/04
Well, first, It was a very well written, well thought out story, and I enjoyed it immensly.

However, the plot choices you made were not the best descisions. Ron does not strike me as someone who would wish to stay a female, so unless you were trying to put across the fact that the necklace made u want to be a woman, then there would be no reason for him to stay that way. And the necklace itself, and Ron even being transformed, dragged the plot down. Just imagine how it would lay out if Harry(Holly) and Hermionie were always talking about girl stuff and Ron was the odd man out. Along with that, you could even go in the direction of a Holly/Ron romance (EW)

I really did think that it was a pretty good story. SOme of the characters dialougue did not seem like the speech they would have used in the actual books. If you could make another version, with some of those things, maybe make it longer...well, you dont have to, but it was a brilliant idea. Keep up the good work; you have some real talent

Comment by Paula Irene Jutras on 01/12/04
You say you don't write as good as the creator of Harry Potter I have to disagree. I have read many fan fics of Star Trek, Fantasy Island and fan fics of other books series. Never have I seen anyone so much as honor the original concept of the characters of a series and the personalities put into them as you have in this mini series.

Comment by Kathleen Phillips on 01/07/04
You say you can't write as well as J. K. rowling.
Well, if you say so, but i disagree.
 This a dam good story.

Comment by Jessica on 01/04/04
I loved your story so far.  Your attention to detail is incredible.  Your writing is able to paint a realistic picture in mind especially with the help of the illustrations.  It was a nice twist on the Harry Potter series and could definitly be made into a nice movie.  I hope you keep writing.

Comment by Paula on 01/03/04
Part 4 was simply the best glad to be able to have a chance to read it with image and changes made

Comment by MM on 12/31/03
it is a good story havent read one that is this good in a long time

keep it coming

Comment by WilmaR on 12/31/03
You've hit on an intriguing idea and your first two parts have only whetted my appetite for more. Keep them coming. One thing I like about the Harry Potter books is the way J.K. Rowling blends the ordinary routines and expectations of life with the extraordinary, and I sense you doing something similar with conventions of normal existence and those of transgender fiction, which is great fun.

Comment by Rena on 12/31/03
Although I was never into Harry Potter Books myself I have come to enjoy the movies that were done on the books.  I have to say even though this is odd twist to em and consider on the side of fanfic more!  I really like this story and when you have all the parts posted to this one if you created another one like it I know I would defintily like to read it!

Comment by jnr on 12/30/03
This is a great story, and I can't wait to read the rest.

Comment by Trufla on 12/30/03
Well, you've given us two lovely opening chapters in what promises to be an excellent Harry Potter AU story.  Just judging from the tone and feeling of your work, I'd guess that this deviates from the Rowling's storyline sometime after Goblet of Fire.  I really loved the cameo role of the Spells'R'Us Wizard, and one wonders just how successful Ron will be at keeping chaste when the Old Man's involved.  Also, did I detect a hint of Tatewaki Kuno in Draco's declaration to the Daily Prophet photograph?  One might wonder if Harry will have to learn the art of the baka-basher sometime early in this school year....

Please, continue with the story as quickly as your Muse can roll the words into the word processor!

Great start!
I look foreward to the rest of this story and more of these stories.
Thanks for starting this (series?).

Comment by Elaine Anne on 12/28/03
Wonderful story! I'm looking forward to additional chapters! Hope you aren't in violation of some copywrite nonsense.
