And here we have the beginning if the conclusion of the Grindelwald war. The aftermath will follow as we continue on to the other factors of the story.

First!

The duel was expertly written, well done!

Rick Malone

Thought the chapter was well done, and a mostly fitting end to the war. I only have two quibbles: The first is that the elder wand made no difference in the fight, when their previous interaction indicated that it would not perform as well for Grindewald against Harry. That aspect did not come in to play here, other than Grindewald thinking about it. Second is the length of the battle. Anytime there’s a magical duel that lasts hours, I’m immediately taken out of the story. To me it’s the same as someone writing, “he stared at her silently for five minutes.” A four hour duel is just such an incredibly long amount of time that I can’t wrap my head around it.

RIP Grindelwald. Great duel. Lived up to the historic hype.

Jon Hewes

Damn that was good

The cannon Dumbledore vs Grindelwald fight lasted 3 hours. It’s like a chess game. Between amateurs, many mistakes are made that can be capitalised on. In a match between the best in the world, both are as close to perfect as they come, and as such, very few mistakes are made. Eventually though, someone’s long term plan will win out. Even if one is better than the other, both are still among the best and the match will still be dragged out.

Rick Malone

Fair enough about canon, but I still can’t picture it. And your point about chess is somewhat accurate: I would say that this would be the equivalent of a match between two grandmasters if both grandmasters had to make split second life and death choices while also running an obstacle course at the same time. Add in the nicks and bruises they admittedly picked up during the fight, and I find four hours hard to believe.

Honestly, I wish I could leave you some pages long analysis of just how absolutely amazing this chapter is. Unfortunately, I am speechless. My palms are sweating, my heart is racing, my leg is bouncing up and down. Holy hell, what a show.

Thor

Wow, amazing chapter.

Thor

Wow, amazing chapter.

`That was a very intense chapter. I am glad to see that the Battle between Gellert and harry happened the way that it did. I look forward to seeing the fallout from the war and how this story is going to progress forward.

Nice chapter, really looking forward to Harry being back home and happy with Minerva and Rosa. I hope cassiopeda dosent get any ideas.

He Of The Scales

An amazing chapter and great conclusion for G vs H. I hope Cass gets her just desserts. Can’t Arcturus cast her out?

E. Machado

This was the best chapter of the fic as of now. Thursday can't come soon enough, I'm anxiously waiting for the reactions to Grindelwald's death, especially Dumbledore's.

martha cantu

I’m confused with What time they are in, In the part with tom it seem as if its the end of the school year which means june or july, but in the last chapter it said october

martha cantu

By las chapter I meant thursdays chapter

Yomira Ullon

I think it's been some time which I guess is how long it took them to dig the tunnel it would make sense that they're nearing the end of the school year

Shaitan

Can’t wait to see the world react. Hope they sell the memory. Use the proceeds for charity or something

TC1687

Hmmm, I get your point. I have just long accepted the fact that the most powerful wizards can do seemingly impossible things. That's why I hate fics where a supposedly powerful Harry casts for like 10 mins, then passes out from magical exhaustion. Btw, Carlsen could totally do it lol.

TC1687

I really thought Harry was gonna whip out some Peverell magic at the end there. Also, why is Charlus like that? He is always making comments about how it might be him to beat Grindelwald, he is always trying to get involved in fights between Harry and Grindelwald, and now he's like: "Let someone else do it" (Fight Grindelwald). If I was Harry I would have been like: "Who tf else? Who is gonna step up to fight the guy that has slaughtered our men as if they were nothing? You? Ha, did you not see our fight last time? You'd be dead in literal seconds". Why does he underestimate Grindelwald so much? He kind of reminds me of Ron.

Sunny

What a fuckin chapter. Bloody hell, the payoff and the build up was exceptional. My heart was racing and the way you described the duel was everything and more. The inner monologue from Harry - I am Harry Potter - and they way he described his journey was beautifully put. Thank you Mr McCusker for this. This is easily your best story. It's not even because it's long (although it's a part of it), every chapter has been important and an essential part to the story. Thursday needs to be tomorrow!!

Sunny

No offense, but how can you not see that Charlus cares for Harry and was prepared to give his life if needed to so Harry would see his child. They've been fighting a war. If you truly think that Charlus wanted to fight Grindelwald for himself, then you haven't been paying attention.

TC1687

I realise that Charlus cares for Harry a lot, and I never said that I thought Charlus wanted to fight Grindelwald for himself (despite the fact that he did, for revenge). If you read the comment again, what I said was that Charlus really thought that, given the opportunity, he could kill Grindelwald. I also said that he keeps stupidly trying to involve himself in their 1v1s. When Harry and Grindelwald fought for the first time in front of everyone, Charlus was like: "No, I can't get involved. I would just get myself, and likely Harry, killed". Since that time, he has tried to get involved in each and every one of their public confrontations. I understand he cares for Harry but any competent duelist would know the importance of concentration, as Charlus did the first time. He seems to have forgotten. And the comment about having someone else fight is just silly. He knows full well that anyone else would have been slaughtered by Grindelwald. What he should have said was something like: "Don't, we can do this together", then Harry could go on to say it was his fight. That would have made more sense. I didn't mean to sound like I was hating (If I did), I was just confused by his odd comments and behaviour.

Andrea Santher

Thursday defenitely needs to be tomorrow. Hear hear!

Sunny

Fair enough and you are correct that Charlus did want to initially fight Gellert personally, but l don't think beyond the 2nd confrontation between Harry and Gellert in Normandy - that got halted by the muggle bombs - that Charlus ever thought he could be the one to defeat him. Also, after France - correct me if l'm wrong - there were only 2 more times before the final battle in which Charlus tried to get himself involved. The first on the borders of Belgium, which if he didn't get involved Arcturus would die and he was fast enough to connect a spell on his face, and the second in Ukraine, when Harry revealed to the world he was the Serpent, and again l felt the only reason he wanted to involve himself was that he was scared, for someone he sees as a brother, may die. Lastly, l thought when you were comparing him to Ron that you were referring to GoF Ron who was jealous of Harry's glory and that's why l commented that you were insinuating that Charlus wanted to fight Grindelwald for himself for selfish reasons and not for his Dad.

CJ

Brilliant. Loved it

ellen

all i can say is wow. just, wow.

Bob

Man all iam gonna say that this is the best chapter you have ever produced all the memories and feelings and magic was just wow, but when harry said that he will use the magic he became expert in i was confused because he is fighting adark lord i aslo hope there was more magic scenes in the duel i know iam being greedy but they are just so amazing, iam also wondring about the time cause i think this will be like what june 1943? I like the fact that the war ended not early but not too late like albus did.

Bob

I am aslo excited about How it will end and i will be very annoyed if harry let cassie go because of Arcturus she should die or be punished and i like to think that Arcturus can not help her even if he wanted cause i dont like the idea of the blacks having anypower out of england, it will just be out of place, i think harry will be awarded from all the countiers and i hope the wizengamot wont give everyone order of merlin first class cause i think it should only be harry and maybe charlus should have a second class for being the commador of the british forces and the test should be treated eqaully because they were all soldiers like giving them a another award or something., i think till they take germany and whatever countries remained it will be 1944 and way it was just a couple of suggestions.
