- Comments: An interesting take on the Super!Harry cliche. Harry gets dark, but not too quickly. Interesting plans and politics. Recommended for all HarryXGinny fans.
Interesting premise...
Aspiration is nine years old, but spoiler alert anyways. Basically, you know that cliche about how Dumbledore has so much power that he's begun to play god with his subjects? The cliche about how Harry's one of his pawns, just figured it out, and wants to break out of whatever is planned for him?
Combine all that with a touch of slippery slope, and you have Aspirations. If one looks at this fic as a sort of twisted, poetic irony of becoming the monster while fighting one, it's not so bad. If I look at this story as the progression of Harry's... Read More
Why did we dredge this up.
I too was amazed that this fic popped back up as I was one of the others who supported its takedown. There are many subjects I dislike in fanfiction and there are many fics I turned away from after the first page. This one is neither. It teases, ever so slightly, at depth that just isn't there.

There's nothing more horrendous than a story about nothing,... Read More
Such promise wasted...
I was one of the people that had this recommendation removed back in March 2010 and I don't regret it.

It toys with redeeming people then just gives up for no reason. There are better fanfics out there and this one isn't worth the time.

Entertaining enough but has serious problems.
This was an interesting premise. I wanted to like it. However the constant grammar errors got on my nerves after a while. The author badly needed a beta to recover all the words that would randomly go missing or be wrong.
As for the story itself, the Hermione bashing went a little overboard at times, especially when she slipped Harry love potion so he would stop hanging around Ginny so much and then got addicted to dark magic so she could murder Ginny and "win back" Harry. Though she acknowledges that she messed up badly and showed real... Read More
