Oh man... I'm just glad that I didn't happen to be taking a drink when I got to Harry's sorting. His reaction had me just about explode!
The constant disbelief and accompanied shattering of world views for the Minds is also pretty humorous.
It's great seeing more of this wonderful story, I'll be eagerly looking forward to the next installment.

I cant wait to see what you come up with next. The first meeting with Hermione will be very interesting.

- Ok, this is the single most amazing bit of fan fiction I've ever read. Thank you.

I'm enjoying this story on levels I can't fully describe. The superposition of these two genres is extremely entertaining to me. I look greatly look forward to each update and I read with excitement when one finally arrives. Thanks for writing and please keep up the good work!

Huh. A screaming match with the Sorting Hat... now that's a new one. :-) Although it's claim of keeping all the students' secrets is a bit suspect when it's willing to use what it's read to argue in public, even if it did switch languages for most of it.

Good chapter, thanks for sharing it with us.

Oh, I do love this. An interspacial culture against a magical background? Wonderful! As a retired High School Composition Teacher I would have to grade this a A+++ extra credit for sheer use of imagination.

Thank you for another excellent chapter.

That was an interesting chapter, loved the shopping scene as well as the sorting. The shit is going to hit the fan the first time Harry realizes that Snape has legilimesed him. Oh, will Sma realize that Dumbledore lied about investigating Quirrel anytime soon? That should be a fun arguement. Keep up the great work!!

Wow! This is really interesting. Harry is sceptacle about Diagon Alley, Ollivanders's especially and now has chewed out the sorting hat and then talked to it in Marain. Quite an introduction. The kiss goodbye to Sma set off McGonagal's morals of course. It looks like Harry is looking forward to maturity with Sma in mind. I look forward to more of this story. Harry will have to enlarge the books for the culture when he learns how. Thanks for writing. I always look forward to your updates. pms

And what will a Culture Mind make of the utter illogic of first year Charms? Wave the stick, say the words, and it levitates. Yeah, that makes sense.

Amusing story, though I have no grounding in the Culture and its series. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Especially looking forward to see how Harry deals with Snape.

Holy Fuck.

I may have read over it too quickly, but if the Sorting Hat is not allowed to speak about what is in a student's mind, how could they have had the conversation about what happened in the Culture's history in front of the entire Hall? After all, Harry would not have put the Hat back on his head.

Great chapter, but you left some stuff out that I had to read in the fanfiction.net version:

[Goodbyes at the Leaky Cauldron.]

[Harry will be going with McGonagall to Hogwarts, to be Sorted during dinner.]

[Sma quietly talks to Harry.]

[Mentions the "Stone" that the microdrone heard the staff talking about. Tells him to keep an ear out for any mention of it.]

Great chapter, thanks.

theform posted a comment on Tuesday 30th September 2008 12:00pm for Diagonal Movement

yay! you've given us another chapter in this amazing story! really really good. well worth the wait. I think that yours is one of the best AU/Crossovers out there. Also, you have written in such a way that prior knowledge of either series is unnecessary, an ability that many writers lack. Can't wait for more! Harry in Ravenclaw!

Thank you for answering the pronuciation problem.

amulder posted a comment on Tuesday 30th September 2008 11:14am for Diagonal Movement

Thanks for continuing.

Possibly the most original reaction to sorting that I can recall ever coming across.

Also quite funny what happened to the brother wand...

keep it up!

You know, i always considered mindreading as a greater crime than rape, but the Sorting ceremony never occurred to me to complain about. I really do appreciate the Culture's problems understanding Magic. It's like all those fanfics that try to sciencify the magic. There's no point. It's Magic, fer Robert's sake.

Thanks.
