This is wonderful! I love Xander, and Wednesday, and how they interact with the 'Potter Crew'. What a great job you did meshing in two separate universes with this one. I absolutely enjoyed every word. Thanks! I can't wait to read the next chapter :)

great story I like that your OCs is not a part of the Golden Trio.

Great stuff so far! A nice melding of the three 'verses, and well-done character development on Xander. Thanks for a great read so far; looking forward to more!

This is one of my favourite crossovers. Very well written in a interesting and funny style. Well done & thanks.

OK, something as epic as this deserves a review, even if its just for the words put into it. As it is, and I'm no great Xander fan, or a BTVS fan even, but I have to say that it was a great read and pretty entertaining. I wish that it was a Harry/Wednesday fan fiction but you know what they say about wishes. I'll try reading the second chapter later. Keep up the good work!

I have never been much for crossovers because they're usually lame and unfinished. Of the perhaps dozen I've read to conclusion, I gladly add your tales to the List of the Few. I plan to read it through to the end.
Particularly brilliant was your grimoire for the anti-Marauders and the fact that it was Lily, Alice, and Narcissa who conspired together to create it. It is also very clever that Narcissa still has a link to it and can answer questions, etc.
Just a fine tale. Congrats and welcome again to FFA.

This is a pretty fun story. I enjoy a Hogwart's from Xander's viewpoint. I like how you placed him in Slytherin. Interesting choice and I like the reasoning behind it. I miss Wills though. You do a fine job writing Xander. I would really like to see your Willow.
I am not going to nitpick on grammar and whatnot to much. But I do want to mention two things. You spelled both Morticia and Stupefy incorrectly. Regular spelling mistakes don't bother me that much. We all make them. But when I see character names or canon specific words (like spells) misspelled it kind of makes me cringe a little.

Bravo! Normally I don't like to read multiple crossover fics, but this was well thought out and well done. I especially appreciated how you remained true to each cross' tone, Xander's bravado and mischievousness, Wednesday's stoic calm, and how you made the housing scheme at Hogwarts seem just as ridiculous as I've always thought it. Very well done at pointing out all of the inconsistencies and having Xander attempt to make Draco, the pureblood's pureblood, see that his way of thinking is full of fallacies and pitfalls. I'm looking forward to seeing your story grow and change as the chapters go by, and I'm also looking forward to seeing how you're going to use Fenrir and Odin, if at all. To future chapters! Cheers, my friend, and keep on writing!

wow that was an amazing read, so much so that I'm attacking the other 78 chapters you have on your site. Goodness it's been forever and a half since I've thought of Buffy, and I actaully had to go and google the characters to see if I remembered them correctly. I'm so intrigued by the possibilities for this fanfic that it's slightly blowing my mind.
Love the portrayal of the Addams Family!

cool. Love the multiple crossover - I wouldn't have put Xander into Slytherin before I read this, but now it seems to fit.

I really like Addams/Potter xover stuff, and this one is very cool with the addition of some BTVS. Hope to see more of it soon!

Excellent story. Very interesting to see Hogwarts from an intelligent Slytherin’s viewpoint. I hope that you continue with this.

I cannot believe that you and this story eluded me for so long. Well, frankly i can. Normally, this type of story has a kind of inherent badness that most authors can't shake, but this was very different. From this more developed Xander, to the seemingly amoral Addamses and the rest of the Hogwarts phonebook just about everything feels real. The reasoning behind SnakeXander, Daphnes lecture, the teacher's conference. This story is engaging and it makes sense. Not many stories do.
Thanks!

I finally got to read the rest of this story. This is great. I really like it and I look forward to more. I love crossovers and this is one of the best. I really like Xander. He is perfect. He notices thing others don't and acts on them. He is a great foil for Wednesday. I love the way he is starting to read her suttle hints of her real feelings. The holiday with the Adamses was great. Thanks so much for adding to the Potterverse. I'll be watching for your updates. pms

Brilliant. I can't wait for future instalments. Xander's story worked very well around the canon adventures of Harry and co. and you can see elements that may become important later on - Xander's potential vault at Gringotts', the Potter family's status as 'knights', etc. (On a side note, the title of knight was usually one bestowed by a king, not hereditary. This being the wizarding world, that could be different of course. Also, on the off-chance you're interested, the oldest 'native' title in Britain is Earl - an Anglo-Saxon title. Nothing Celtic ever survived. Duke and Baron both came over with the French in 1066. Marquess and Viscount are younger still. Intriguingly, the word 'lord' is Anglo-Saxon...)
One observation - Alice Prewitt. Now I assume she's Neville's mother. But is she supposed to be related to Gideon and Fabian? In which case, the spelling is wrong, Gideon and Fabian were Prewett. And does that make Molly and her children related to Neville? Or is it just a case of similar surnames and the spelling is purposely different? (I did check the spelling in my copy of OotP. Yes, I'm that picky.)
Wednesday was a fascinating addition, and I loved the way she interacts with everyone. Xander's own reactions to the Addams family are great too.
Anyway, looking forward to more. Keep up the good work!

Laying in bed last night with a little insomnia, this did the trick. I guess that could be interpenetrated the wrong way :-) I really liked it and await more.
Thanks
