This was great!
You should really add more to it, not to say you should risk a hypoglycemic episode to do it (if the 'low-blood-sugar' reference was to your maybe being diabetic).
I've read a lot of fan fiction on this and other "Potter-verse" sites and a few have caught my eye as being worthy of being presented in another media platform. Matbe not feature film; the production costs would be astronomical, to say the least. I'm thinking small-screen, like cable TV.
Imagine it, a program dedicated to bringing these storylines to life.
Just like the current novels and films, I predict this being a colossal hit with kids and parents alike.
But all that aside, you really should add more to this one... a LOT more!
Great job! |

Hehehe. I love this. If you want some more oneshots shot out, then make some little drabbles about how they play around. |

There are some drabbles on the back burner. I've only recently returned to HP fanfic, so stay tuned
Thanks for reading! |

That was a great romp. I've always thought about how so much of the muggle world's imaginings could have been based on magic they accidentally witnessed, but have never scene a fanfic around the concept. Really fun. |
Tuesday 2nd September 2008 06:15 | Make It So, Mister Potter (Author Response) |
I had a list that was pretty extensive on what the obliviators could have missed in the wizarding world. But these things were the most fun to write.
Thanks for reading. |

Good bit of fun. Well written! |

Thanks for reading.
It was as much fun to write as well. |
psycholis Saturday 20th October 2007 02:33 | Make It So, Mister Potter |
I was perusing random fics by author and happened to stumble upon this wonderful piece. What an innovative and creative use of the room of requirement. The bit about Disney himself being a squib is a nice touch. All the references to all my favorite pieces of fiction really make this a great little fic. I especially appreciate the bit with Arthur C Clarke - 'Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.' Clarke is effectively the cornerstone of hard sci-fi, and to tie that into the wonderful world of Harry Potter is really coming full circle. Thank you for this piece.

Thanks so much for the kind words!
It was fun to read - and I'm glad you had fun.
Thanks for reading. I hope you can read my other works, and I'm currently poking my muses to write more. Thanks again. |

This story is great!
I laughed at times.. you have a great imagination! |
Wednesday 10th October 2007 06:14 | Make It So, Mister Potter (Author Response) |
Thanks!
If I've helped someone laugh today, I'm a lucky guy.
Imagination and writing is my challenge. I've tried to have fun with my stories, and make them enjoyable to myself and everyone. I'm glad to have done so.
Thanks for reading! |

OMG! it was hilarious! i loved it. Hahaha...its so unlikely for Hermione and Dean to be trekkies, but it was HILARIOUS!

Saturday 12th May 2007 15:48 | Make It So, Mister Potter (Author Response) |
Trekkies are mostly secretive unless they meet one of their own.
I don't see why these two couldn't be one. Anything is possible in my own mind, right?
Thanks for reading. |

Dean's a Trekkie...who knew? As soon as I saw the title of this fic, I knew exactly where it was from, and I had to read it. Very nicely done, fitting Walt Disney into the wizarding world. I like the idea of him being a Squib, yet he wasn't bitter, was he? Lovely... |
Sunday 19th March 2006 22:58 | Make It So, Mister Potter (Author Response) |
Nope, not bitter. But he found an outlet for his magical side, I think.
Thanks for reading! |

How about 10 more one shot's of this story please |
Tuesday 3rd January 2006 06:14 | Make It So, Mister Potter (Author Response) |
10?
Just 10?
Repeat after me: Oooonnnneeee - Sssshhhhooootttt.
I wanted to make it bigger, but the muse said no.
Thanks for reading! |
Sugarquills23 Wednesday 2nd November 2005 09:55 | Make It So, Mister Potter |
Walt Disney was a squib! Of course, it all makes perfect sense now!
I love this finished product Dale! Morphing the RoR into a magical version of the Holodeck was genius. I could see the group making their way back for a bit of fun on a regular basis. They all need a diversion from their own version of Darth Vadar...
As always, fun and enjoyable.

I LOVE THIS STORY!!!! I read it awhile ago, but only got a chnce to reviewing now. Including ST: TNG was phenomenal, and the nod to Disneyland(I'm from and live in LA) was excellent. One of the best one shots I've ever read. A brilliant story.

dogbertcarroll Friday 23rd September 2005 12:40 | Make It So, Mister Potter |
I'm surprised you didn't have them step out of the Holodeck onto the Enterprise shocking the crew. Excellent work. |
dave gerecke Thursday 22nd September 2005 07:36 | Make It So, Mister Potter |
Very nice.
could expand on this to a multi chapter story and use various tech toys from other universes to expand the HP one.
Make the wizard kids situp and take notice of what is going on around them. |
Jedione Monday 19th September 2005 12:36 | Make It So, Mister Potter |

So fun, I'm speechless. LOVE the analogies, the detail and the running commentary. You've GOTTA give me the "light saber" charm. |
Sunday 18th September 2005 20:51 | Make It So, Mister Potter (Author Response) |
The lightsaber charm will be appearing in another story. This is just
my first usage of it. I'm working on another fic that will be 'related'
to this one ... possibly ... so stay tuned!
Thanks for reading.

Heehee! I loved it. Very funny. I didn't want it to end. Ooh! I wish I had my own Artoo! And a real lightsaber! *drools* Okay, I'm done. Great job. Bravo! ^^ |

Welll... maybe it shows my geekhood, but I didn't have to research all that much.
Thanks for reading! |
cckeimig Tuesday 13th September 2005 21:42 | Make It So, Mister Potter |
fun! fun! fun! I really loved reading this!
The only problem I had with it, though, is that the Dursley's almost never let Harry watch television, and certainly never took him to the movies, so him doing all of this was a little less believable that one would hope. But again, it was such a fun read that it hardly matters. :-) |
Wednesday 14th September 2005 08:34 | Make It So, Mister Potter (Author Response) |
One problem with that: You are assuming that the Dursley's never let Harry watch television. How do you know that? There isn't anything in the books that says "Harry didn't watch television" ... so that's not entirely true. Besides, Harry doesn't need to know about EVERY single detail about Trek or Star Wars. Just enough...
Thanks for reading! |
J.R. Lewis Tuesday 13th September 2005 20:06 | Make It So, Mister Potter |
Thanks for this story! Being a fan of fantasy and such, this is the
greatest! I've often thought as Mr. Clarke about technology and magic.
Next time you have low blood sugar, try to write something novel length
along the subject line of muggle magic. Including, of course, all the
sci-fi, Disney and other mentioned stuff in this story.
Is that a challenge or what??
|
Tuesday 13th September 2005 20:37 | Make It So, Mister Potter (Author Response) |
If you read my review responses, your review and another one spawned a PlotBunny that I will think about.
As for Clarke ... what if HE was a wizard? Explains a bit about his ideas...
I'm not up for that kind of a challenge -- but I'm working on another
fic that will have the same 'flavor' -- a bit of Muggle mixed with
Magic, and Harry at the center of it...
|
MercuryBlue Tuesday 13th September 2005 16:52 | Make It So, Mister Potter |
*cracks up laughing* This is hilarious. (Low blood sugar? Whaddaya mean
low blood sugar? I don't usually laugh this much unless I've eaten like
twenty cookies.) It even makes a degree of sense. I'm not entirely sure
you've got the function of the Room of Requirement down, but oh well.
It's funny.
|
Tuesday 13th September 2005 20:35 | Make It So, Mister Potter (Author Response) |
Harry was aiming for a bit of fun, so why not let the Room have fun with him?
And, as Gin says "he's running amok" with it.
Thanks for reading!

happydog Tuesday 13th September 2005 16:51 | Make It So, Mister Potter |
Can anyone say "Holo-deck"? What a fun piece! Write an epiloge with the Muggle Studies professor's reaction. That'd be pretty fun! |
Tuesday 13th September 2005 20:33 | Make It So, Mister Potter (Author Response) |
The first time in canon that I saw the Room I half expected it to have
floors, walls and ceiling all in black with yellow lines. :)
This has been stewing around in my brain since OTP. Heh. Now I finally got it out.
Thanks for reading!

That was SO awesome! I love teacher!Harry so much. For a moment, I forgot that he was helping Ginny with her homework, and not actually teaching a Muggle Studies class! |
Tuesday 13th September 2005 20:14 | Make It So, Mister Potter (Author Response) |
Heh. I am a part-time teacher, so maybe my voice came across a bit.
Muggle Studies. Now THERE's a fanfic I've never seen Harry teach. Heh.
Uh-oh. PlotBunny Attack!
Harry defeats Voldie. Drops out of wizarding world for, oh, say a year.
Comes back to teach Muggle Studies at Hogwarts. Heh. Now all I have to
do is figure out if Phoenixsong will allow that much crossoverfic in a
chaptered fic. Star Trek technology mixed with magic. Lightsabers,
flying cars ala Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, other fun stories ... like
maybe if Roald Dahl was writing about Charlie and the Wizarding
Chocolate Factory? Makes sense...
Ah, well. Thanks for reading (and stoking the fires under the toes of my Muses).
