Loving your story so far. I normally wait til I finish til I review but wanted to comment on this chapter's title. Can I make the assumption that the title is a reference to the big stone guy in The Never Ending Story movie. It was and still is one of my fav movies as child of the 80s. I think Harry and Hagrid would have loved Falcor. Great job so far. I realize that this story Is a little dated now but I'm just now reading it. Interesting AU version and funnily enough I see similarities even though you wrote up to this point befor DH was published.

This is an amazing fic. I think I first started reading it when you first published it and now I have come back to it after awhile. I reread most of it because it had been so long and now past where I left off before, you have done a wonderful job with this storyline and plot. Now if only I had time to read fics all the time and not just when uni isn't in session...

Har har... a smiley face, eh?
And no, the thing Harry had to give up wasn't entirely clear. I didn't get that he gave up any selflessness, I just assumed he had been twisted somewhat to reveal a darker side. Still, very good chapter. I hated the scene with Dudley (meaning I hated that it happened, etc, but thought you did it brilliantly) but I found the language to be a little too advanced for seven year olds at a couple moments. I can't see Harry saying "I can't help it... if I'm AUTOMATICALLY smarter than you." I think I seven year old would say "Well, I guess I'm just smarter than you." Little logistics issue, no biggie, just the editor in me being active. And I had forgotten about Ron's feet... I hope they're okay. Well done, etc etc.

Author's Response: Yeah...a smiley face. I didn't want it to be too unbelievable...ha! Well he did give up his selflessness...but it also resulted in him being twisted to something darker. Everything dark and evil inside him....and I believe Harry does have that in him....was brought to the surface. I thought about the language too...so you're point is totally valid. Thanks again for the review!

OK so I love your story....a lot...but I can't help but get upset at what you take away from Harry. First his arm, poor Harry, now he can really only feel Ginny with one arm. Then his beautiful green eyes, that was very sad. Those I can deal with, but his control and his selflessness??? That's what makes Harry, well Harry. It's bad enough that when he gets depressed he shuts everyone out, but now what's going to happen? He's going to lash out whenever someone even remotely annoys him. And it doesn't really seem like something Ginny can fix. Is she going to be able to handle him? Is she going to stick around? Don't get me wrong, I really do love your story (especially your fluff, I can't get enough of that!), I think you're a great writer, it's just sad what happens to Harry.

But judging by the way he's handled everything else, I'm sure you have something really great up your sleeve and I can't wait to find out what happens. So please update soon so we can see what happens!

I guess just as long as it's a happily ever after at the end...hehe :)

Author's Response: You raise a lot of good questions about what happens to Harry now...and I'm sorry your upset at what I've done to him. I know I've been overly cruel...but sometimes I think JK's too nice to him.

This is my first review for your story. I've enjoyed it so much that I registered here so I could leave you reviews from now on. You have been so creative with the horcruxes, accompanying their destructions with the removal of something from Harry. This last one, the theft of some of his character and self-control, was the worst one yet. I don't see how Harry can possibly survive destroying all the horcruxes; even if he physically lives past it, he's going to be damaged mentally, emotionally, and psychologically beyond repair (at least that's my prediction).
The Trio's return home was well done. The tension in that scene was very realistic.
I know this story is already quite long and detailed, but I hope you continue to the end. Here's looking forward to another chapter soon!

Author's Response: Welcome aboard and I'm glad you've been reading all along, even if you haven't reviewed before. It's always appreciated. And you raise a very good point. Will there be enough of 'Harry' left in the end for him to be saved even if he wins? Thanks again!

Great chapter! One of my favorites so far. As for the horcrux, I thought it was fairly clear what was taken. Almost as if it took whatever part of Harry was keeping those feelings at arms length, where he could keep them at bay. Interesting! Can't wait to see where that leads. Could lead somewhere very dark if he isn't careful.

Interesting homecoming for the trio, though of course the Weasley's would be being very careful about such things.

Really enjoyed the entire arc from the time they left the mansion until they left the castle. Very well written and quite enjoyable.

Kudos all around.

Author's Response: I'm stoked to hear that I wasn't too evasive and tricky in my explanation. And your right about that little part being gone. Harry will find his anger, and his bad and harbored feelings harder to keep under control. I hope you'll enjoy the next chapter just as much.

I loved what you did with this chapter, there's been so much build up towards what they'll find in the forest and you definitely met if not exceeded my expectations. The Helga Hufflepuff aspect was intriguing and the stealing (it's more stealing than taking) of Harry's dignity was heartbreaking. I loved the interrogation at the end. I can't wait for the next chapter with the Weasleys, it is definitely time for some fluff. Looking forward! Miss Radcliffe~

Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter and what I decided to do after the forest. But, while there will be a meeting with the Weasley's, I'm not sure fluff would be the right word for what's to come. Though, there will be a bit of it...

well harry may heal in time with the help of ginny but in the mean time it s going to eb a bumpy road and that its all going to t go to hell in a hand basket soon enoght....kutgw

Author's Response: It's going to take a whole lot to heal Harry and I'm not sure even Ginny will even be able to reach him completely. Yes the road will be bumpy and YES there will be agnst
