I've thoroughly enjoyed rereading this story after quite a few years. I remember when you were writing it that everyone was guessing what elements of the story would actually become canon. And the people who had the audacity to copy it verbatim and claim it as theirs! You certainly had trouble with that.

There are aspects of this story that I like more than what we ended up with in canon. For one, Harry learning that he was a Horcrux early in the story gave him time to adjust and write his letters rather than forcing him at the last minute to sacrifice himself. For another, while you had a battle at Hogwarts, the school doesn't seem to have been harmed in the same way it was in canon. I like your Horcrux hunts best; the cup and the dragon was really well done...very exciting, and you had me on the edge of my seat with the snake and the tiara. I'm glad Harry thought to use the spider venom to revive Ginny. Finally, that you took your time wrapping up the story and giving the readers time to recover and enjoy their new freedom is actually the best part, I think.

Anyway, well done. I'll probably take the time to reread this story in another few years it's so good.

The buried gems feature was practically designed for this story. I loved it from start to finish and Iā€™m glad I got the chance to read it.

The thing I really like is how you tied up a bunch of loose ends that JKR never did in Deathly Hallows. Throwaway comments or unexplained plot points here and there that she simply forgot to add in, you include them all, and I really really enjoyed it.

Thank you

Loved all the interactions in this chapter. Harry and Co. got their richly deserved happy endings. Harry was adorable with baby James. The murder of the Dursleys at the end was a bit spooky. There were some definite parallels between Dudley and a young Tom Riddle. His interest in dark magic and then killing his parents. An intriguing ending to a fantastic story. You are an amazing writer.

About half a year ago I stumbled upon the german translation of the seventh horcrux by accident and I was excited.
When I tried to figure out who's the author of the story I found all the stories written by Melindaleo and I loved them.
She is simple the best!

... and after reading the story twice in English now I really think the 7th horcrux is much better than the original 7th book :-)

One of the things I really liked about this is the handling of Draco. I hate the Draco redeemed stories where he winds up being a good guy and Hermione falls for him, blah, blah, blah. In this, Draco is still in character. He is still a self-serving, prejudiced git who happens to come out on the right side of things.

Wow.... I've plowed through quite a few fics on FF Net and SIYE but this one.....

I googled "melindaleo" and Rowling and I was not surprised to find an article about this story being passed off as a draft of the actual Book 7. Many themes are common (they can be extrapolated upon from the previous 6 books). The major change is of course the H/G relationship.

Great job, one of the best overall HP fanfics (easily Top 3 if not best). Regarding book 7 this is THE BEST by far!

Sorry running out of accolades but wish I could give this 11/10! Nice one!

Single best AU book 7 out there. I should have reviewed this back when I first read it.

Thank you!

Well, I am ashamed to admit that I only began reading pre-DH fanfic in the last few months, and what a revelation. I once heard complaints about JKR's official offering that there was better fanfiction out there. I can honestly say that upon reading this story, I whole-heartedly agree. I finished it with a happy sigh, turned to my husband and said - "THAT is what DH should have been."

Frankly, I think your story was even better than the real one. I appreciated your characterizations of Harry and co, and your gentle developments of their characters as being both in line with how I view canon and uniquely yours. Well done. I cannot hide that I wish for more of your stories to accompany this, because it was such a pleasure to read.

I just want to say, i love this story. This is the third time i've read it. I actually created and account here just so i could leave a review. This was actually the very first fan fiction story i had ever read oh so long ago. i can't believe i can remember that but, it's got to tell you how well you portrayed your idea for the last book. I am still suprised how close some things in your story came to the actual Deathly Hallows. The only reason i read your story was because i had head that the 7th book had been leaked then later found out it was just a fan fiction. When i knew it wasn't the actual 7th book i was like, Well, i'm checking this out for sure! And i'm glad i did. You should know that The Seventh Horcrux is what got me into Fan Fiction in the forst place.
I love that you gave harry the opportunity to see his parents and Sirius and remus and tonks and dumbledore. That chapter made me sob the fist time i read it and i still cried after reading it for a third time. I love this story!

Bravo!!! Outstanding!!

I came to this fan-fic through a recommendatoion on the Leaky Lounge and I'm glad I took it up.
Your story is extremly well written and the plot is very believable and, as it turns out, very close to DH in so many ways. I think the only thing you didn't see coming was Snape =)

So thank you for sharing this with us. I've really enjoyed it, but must admit to being glad to have finished it so that I can get back to real life! Firestar

This review is for the entie story.

Brilliant, sheer brilliance. Makes me wish it wasn't sort of A/U (though it wasn't when I first read it). Definitely worth being canon. I'd also have you know that I'm yet to come across a story on SIYE which surpasses this.

Well I finished this story about 8 hours after I started and I really have to say that I am impressed. As you are probably well aware your story has an amzing amount in common with The Deathly Hallows. Congrats on a well thought out story, although its a shame DH didn't have as much H/G as your story.

As I'm sure you are well aware, you had MANY parts right in this story. As I read through Deathly Hallows today, I kept thinking, "I KNEW IT!", and the only reason I knew it was your story. Well played, m'lady. Great story.
