Thursday 29th July 2004 11:22 | Blink of an Eye | I'm having a real hard time suspending my belief with this story. I understand that Harry is blind, but what I don't understand is why the has been no wizarding medical intervention. The entire I was reading this first chapter, I kept thinking, if they can re-grow bones with Skele-Gro, why can't some healing treatment repair the damage to his eyes? And what about magical eyes like Moody has?
I think what made these questions even more troublesome for me is that the character of Kirch is a wizard and you never really take the time to explain why wizarding medicine won't work. Maybe you do this in later chapters, I don't know, but these questions certainly limited my enjoyment of the story. | Neely61

Thursday 15th July 2004 04:41 | Blink of an Eye | Wow! This is quite the story! You had me on the edge of my chair from the beginning paragraph and it just kept getting better and better. I really feel for Harry in his new prediciment and marvel at how well (and how maturely) he is dealing with the situation. My only criticism is that he needed to tell the Weasleys and Professor Dumbledore about his accident as soon as possible after the fact. I realize that Harry felt he needed to keep his situation secret from Voldemort, but his friends could have given him the support he needed to accept his situation faster.
All criticisms aside, the details you provide about the Braille system were really fascinating to me. (I learned a lot!) They added a lot of realism to the story. I liked how you had Professor Kirch adapt this Muggle system to the Wizarding world.
Please update soon. I'm looking forward to what happens next.
