I'm not sure why people equate Harry Potter with small. You know JKR never indicated Harry was a short person he was normal, about his fathers height, maybe 5-10 or 5-11. So why the 'short person' comment. Because Daniel Ratcliff, the actor who played Harry Potter in the movies is shorter than average? Don't know, just bothers me. Daniel is not Harry and Harry is not Daniel.


Author's Response: I agree that there is no reason for the characters in the book to look like the characters in the movies. My image of many of the characters is very different than the movie versions. My Ginny is very different than the Ginny in the movie. I will admit that my Harry Potter looks more like Daniel Ratcliff than most of the people in the books resemble the characters in the movies. So often in books as well as in real life the tall people have the advantage. I wanted my Harry to be shorter than average. I see Ginny as very short, Harry as a little shorter than Hermione, Hermione to be just a little taller than the average woman, and Ron to tower over all of them. I am trying to be reasonably true to canon. If this exercise of artistic license bothers you I apologize. Thank you again for the review. I would much rather have someone question something I have written than say nothing. Thank you for continuing to read my story. Jet

Good chapter.
I found it interesting that both Harry and Ginny find that talking to healer is already helping them to understand them selves and each other better. This can only improve their marriage.
Looking forward to reading more.

Author's Response: Both Harry and Ginny have been through a lot, and at least in my story they are continuing to go through a lot. Harry has a lot of pressure from the outside, plus his tendency to brood and hold things inside. Ginny helps Harry a lot, but I assume he could use a little additional help from time to time. My Ginny puts a lot of pressure on herself. She “wants it all,” and will continually find out that it is not possible to have everything, certainly not at the same time. It helps that Harry is totally faithful and utterly uninterested in anyone else, but I think with her history she would always be somewhat typical of the very small person trying extra hard to compensate. I always appreciate your reviews. I’m a little shocked at how long it has taken me to respond, but between a full time job, a 6 year old grandson we are helping take care of, and of course a wife life gets busy. Jet LaBarge

A chapter containing quite a lot of complex ideas.

Author's Response: I have always liked the “science” in fiction. Hard science fiction, Asmov, Niven. Earl Stanley Robinson is writing some good hard science fiction. Part of the appeal of Rowling’s work (and Tolkien) is how comprehensive and consistent it is. So, how does it work? I have to be careful I don’t put too much of the “science” of magic in the story and bore my readers. Mapping is one of the things that is going to be central to the story, both this story and later the Albus Potter story. Thank you for the review. Jet LaBarge
