  This Harry Potter fan fiction is a must-read for anyone looking for a fresh take on the series. The author's use of Rufus Scrimgeour's character as a vessel for James' consciousness is genius, offering a unique perspective on the wizarding world.
  James' determination to fix the wizarding world's failings is inspiring, and his foresight allows for clever plot twists and turns. The author's writing style and storytelling expertise make for a gripping read.
  Overall, I highly recommend this story to fans of Harry Potter and political fantasy. With its engaging characters, immersive world-building, and unique premise, this story is a captivating addition to the Harry Potter fandom.

  Nice HP fanfic! I really don’t know what problem some of the other reviewers have with this story!
  This is a fresh view of the whole OP Harry Potter SI fiction style. First of all the MC isn’t Harry Potter but a side character who, in the original books is as dumb as any other character in this beautiful world. (for real it’s as if everyone in the original has an situational IQ of 78 and the Story is …. Enough of that^^) So the mc, even if magically not OP, steps up to change some things. And not in the same way of every other HPFF. What more would you want from an HPFF ?! Have fun reading, cause I have!

  ★★★ 2.5

  The text is very disjointed and you can feel the AI with every word, the premise of the story is good but the chapter length is minimal and needs a lot of cleaning up. If the author takes time to clean up and make the chapters longer there's potential but I do not currently recommend this story. If you're just desperately trying to scratch that Harry Potter itch it's not the worst ever and despite the disjointedness is still understandable and a way to spend some time.

  ★★ 2.0

  I like the premise but there are lot of inconstancies. Sometimes Characters are thrown in from the left field, e.g. Flitwick after the talk with goblins (I'm aware he shares ancestry, but still...) other times there are weong thungs like adressing the MC as Minister instead of Mister and so forth.

  ★★ 2.0

  First of all the author created at least 4 false counts in order to post 5 stars reviews on his novel. The false counts are "wizardingwordsmith" , "ficfanatic22", "literaryLuminary" and "Nag" and have been reported. While the motivations are understandable, this kind of thing is toxic for this platform.
  Edit : The previously mentioned reviews have been retracted, so I gave back one star as well as deleting some thing in this review.
  I would rate the story in itself 2 stars. It's very bare-bone and simplistic in its approach. The use of AI in the writting process is very obvious, which is a good news for the authors' community. The main idea of the story is interesting enough but lack a lot of polishing before delivering its promise.
