Wow! I'm the 760th review! I must say, I spent the whole day reading this instead of studying but I think it was worth it! Wonderfully written!

I was hesitant to review this, as I hate to leave bad reviews. I especially don't want to flame you. That said I pretty much hated this fic, and can't even explain why I finished it.
1. The AU makes no sense, HP and DM went to Hogwarts. The twins got the marauder map and played Quidditch, but never met Harry. So the marauders went to somewhere other than Hogwarts and so did the Weasleys? Doesn't seem well thought through. Oh, and Neville went somewhere else along with Hermione.
2. Ginny is a hosepipe that cries constantly. She seems wishy-washy, and the Neville thing seems super forced.
3. The alchohol scheme was silly. No other way to explain it than that.
4. TV shows don't mix in a world where magic disrupts technology. On top of that you made it very American instead of British.
5. Harry fluctuates between being very confident and knowing what he wants to shy and seemly incapable of deciding Also it is so against his very character to join this kind of show.
6. Very few of the characters seem likeable. However I suppose that is accurate for the kind of show it is, I don't know for sure. I hate these kind of shows.
7. Ginny fell in love in basically 1 date, in a period of 2 weeks.
8. Grammar and spelling errors bothered me. Minor, I know, but there it is.

I could keep going but each point beyond this just gets more petty.

Thought I'd give leave a review, since I saw the last one posted. This tale does not deserve it as the last review. This is a great story, even though I dislike the show itself. Hope to read more from you at some point. Than you for writing!

I'm really sorry, but this was actually so terrible it made me laugh. It's completely absurd. I understand a lot of AU, because sometimes it can be really ingenious and creative. Some times, you can see somebody trying to portray slight differences, or changing small facts about stories. Other times, people write their own stories with the characters J.K. Rowling gave us. Then, every once in a while, you find a story so terrible it forces you to reread all the good HP fan fictions just to get the taste out of your mouth.

I'm really sorry, but your story easily falls into that last category. There was no inventiveness. No creativity. No originality. You took a stupid Hollywood idea - one of the dumbest ones, I might add - and you mixed it with HARRY POTTER. If you can't see the wrongness in that alone, there's clearly something wrong with you.

I don't feel like going into the actual story, because let's be honest, there was no story. You took a Hollywood contraption, put Harry and Ginny into it, stuck in Neville for a stupid, terrible, completely predictable twist, and ended up with perhaps one of the worst Harry Potter fictions of all time.


Regards,

Generic Euphoria

Unashamed fluff! No heavy plot lines and very light hearted AU. Nice story!

The power of Christ compels me to leave a review so that your count is no longer at 666, lol.

Excellent story. Definitely one that I couldn't put down till I was finished. And definitely a breath of fresh air from all the "Book 7" stories that I've been reading (and writing, lol). - My only wish it that I could've read about Neville's reaction to Ginny's choice, and maybe get a bit of insight on why he decided to show up for the show (if it was more than just wanting Ginny back anyway).

Thanks for the wonderful read and I look forward to seeing more of your stuff. Good job!

Fun little story. Enjoyed the beginning better than then. Which is no surprise since I do not enjoy angst.

Did a nice job conveying the craziness of a 'reality' show. At least I think so, as I have never watched one.
