| Oh my gosh I loved that! I've always thought that Friends would be such a good show to combine with the Harry Potter world, but it always seemed like such a hard task to accomplish. You were able to do it all within the pilot episode!! Hahah I really enjoyed it; I thought it was extremely funny and terribly romantic at the same time. My favorite part was the moment Hermione and Ginny shared when they realized that the boys truly need them and they never stopped loving each other. But my favorite line was, "'Raindrops on Snorkacks and Thestrals and poodles, Blast-ended Skrewts and something and noodles ...'" hahahaha it was great! Gotta love Luna Excellent job! |

| This was brilliant! You did such a fantastic job of paralleling the characters. It fit superbly well. My hat comes off to you (or it would if I wore a hat!). |

| That was awesome, I realy enjoyed it. Harry based as chandler was realy good because it suited him, being realy thick when it comes to relationships. I think your writting is great, keep it up. |

| Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked Harry in the Chandler role - most people seemed to think he should be Ross. |

| Ooh! Great! I like Friends, I like HP - and you've successfully meshed the two into this little piece of goodness. And you didn't have to force it either - that might be the most amazing thing. You just dropped the characters into the story, and it worked. Well done! |

| Yup, this combined two of my favourite things, and I'm so happy you think it was a success! |

| loved this fic. Knowing the many "coffee" scenes from Friends, I could really visualise them all there. The ending was just right. |

| This was so adorable! I have always compared the HP sextet to the Friends sextet and wanted to write a fic on it but I'm not good with fanfic writing. It is so cool seeing an idea you had being executed, especially when it is done well. Your choices were perfect, especially Luna. And I heart Harry/Chandler. |

Thank you very much! You're one of the few people to like the choice of Harry/Chandler - most reviewers that commented on character choice thought that Harry would have made a better Ron.
I'd never compared the HP and Friends sextets before, until a challenge on an LJ group, and then it seemed blindingly obvious! |

this was kinda confusing...

Sorry it confused you. It was something of an experiment on my part, and it confused my beta too, as she isn't familiar with Friends.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, though. |

Luna and Phoebe have a lot in common, don't they?
I'm glad the story made you smile! |

Awww... so wonderful! Luna is totally Phoebe, isn't she? And then the rest of it just kind of fits together, except for maybe Neville as Joey. Oh well.
Definitely crack!fic, but nice and fluffy and loads of fun. |

Neville didn't really fit as any character, but he had to be there somewhere, he's part of the sextet!
Thanks for reviewing! |

| So cute. I think Ron is the perfect Ross, as is Luna the perfect Pheobe. Very well done. I really enjoyed it. |

| Thanks! Could you imagine if Phoebe and Luna ever 'met'? It'd be hysterical! |

| Oh Sweet Magical Merlin! You NAILED this! This was such a fun read, and for some reason the voices came through in my head right off the TV screen -- no problems picking out wjo was who in reguards to the reassignment of identity... (Grin!) Great story -- I look forward to reading morefrom you in the future! |

Thank you very much!
You know, when I posted this story elsewhere, a couple of people said they would have made it Harry/Ross and Ron/Chandler, but I think it fits quite nicely this way. Harry has a very droll sense of humor, much like Chandler, and Ron obsesses over Quidditch and the Chudley Cannons in a similar fashion to Ross and his dinosaurs!
And of course, Luna and Phoebe could be long long sisters, lol! |

I loved this. It was silly, and a bit of a stretch, but I absolutely loved this. The first... 3? seasons of Friends were my absolute favorite of any show at any time, and only the decline in the storytelling in the later seasons keeps it from being my favorite show ever.
You did, I notice, skip my favorite joke in the first episode of friends (well, second favorite, because the one with Chandler telling about his dream is my favorite). It's when Ross says he wants to be married again and Rachel bursts in to the coffee shop, wearing her weadding gown, then Chandler looks up, holds a hand out, and says expectantly, "And *I* want a million dollars!"
Probably wasn't appropriate for the HP!Friends. |

You know what, my original version had Harry holding his hand out and saying 'And I want a million galleons', but my betas suggested that I cut it, so I did!
Thank you for reviewing, it was fun blending two of my favourite pop culture icons! |

| Oh, this does not suck at all! I never would have thought of comparing the sextet to Friends! You really got the characters right, and the merge between the two is great, just enough of Friends, but not too much to overshadow the fact that it is still Harry and company. Bravo, this has made my day |
