Hello!
I'm glad to see Kaden is still a great part of their group. I think he's a better person now that he's less excitable, even if he still can't keep his mouth shut. He and John make a very entertaining team and I really like the way they interact so well. And also how they make up the pranking side of the group.

I thought Amanda started to develop as a character a bit more in this novel, especially during the argument between Rose and the boys when she brought them back together. I was very glad to see that although I was firmly on Albus' side that Linda shouldn't be told about their private common room, especially as Harry and Teddy didn't yet know.

Linda Morales was an interesting character for sure. I never usually like reading about vampires and werewolves, to be honest, but you describe them and tell their story very differently to how other authors do. When Matt revealed to the boys how much he knew about Linda, that explained a great deal about the way she behaved.
I can't believe Killigan went as low as to accept her as a student just so his school could win! But it all makes sense in the end because you're just an amazing storyteller where all the storylines fit together perfectly.

I could say so much about Professor Balladanis! I thought he was an enigmatic character with an interesting past and you didn't disappoint at all! I had a feeling that this 'hidden past' might be to do with vampires or werewolves (you know, due to his strange behaviour) but I really liked the way you told his backstory. I want to know more! And although his teaching methods were a little unconventional, they were effective. In an odd way, he's the kind of teacher I wish I'd had in school. Someone who knew their subject inside out and was willing to take time out of lessons to help the more abled students improve further as well as the less abled. Without the anamatek, of course!

The anamatek was your own idea, right? I was really impressed with the idea and imagination of it. I have to agree with Balladanis about its uses though; it's the perfect creature to demonstrate on during the lessons (as long as it's properly managed) and I'm sure if nothing else, Albus and his class certainly learnt a lot.
A Presuler is another of your great creations, I think. It's an interesting sounding career and I love that he selected both Albus and Scorpius as having the extra potential to become one. If you ever write anything more about Balladanis' job please let me know! I'd definitely read it.

The last few chapters were great to read. The action in Australia was well written and funny to read, especially with Lubar, the Willinsons and Washburn arguing amongst themselves. I thought Kaden was brilliant with his incessant questions and almost-but-not-quite getting them into trouble. And Albus sort of managed to produce a patronus! I thought the part where the resurrection brought back Lubar's mother instead of Voldemort was hilarious. Nice touch!

I loved the ending to the story and I'm looking forward to reading about Albus' fourth year. :D

Author's Response: Kaden is a permanent part of the group now. He'll continue to calm down as the story progresses. He and John have developed quite a friendship, which is quite a stark contrast from the previous novel when John couldn't stand him. Amanda's personality definitely comes out a bit more in this novel, but even more will be revealed in the fourth one. Albus was definitely in the right about the fight.

Linda was really fun to develop, although a little difficult. I didn't want her to scream "Twilight" but at the same time I did want her to be exceptionally beautiful. I adore writing about werewolves (haha, you can probably tell), so vampires were an interesting twist. I'm glad you like the way I write about them! I try to develop the emotional issues that I think would be involved with being a werewolf or vampire, rather than the physical characteristics. I hope that made sense! Killigan is a very sleazy guy. He'll do pretty much anything to win or get his way.

Balladanis was a lot of fun to create, even more enjoyable than creating Linda. I actually have a whole bunch of other information on his past that I could develop into a whole other novel, but I don't have time to write it. Maybe I'll do a one-shot sometime or something. He's definitely a good teacher who clearly cares about his subject and his students, but his love for his subject blinds him in terms of protecting his students. The anamatek was going a little too far.

The anamatek was my idea! I based it off the idea of the Boggart, of course, but it was completely mine. It is the perfect creature for teaching lessons, but it's possibility for killing is a bit too dangerous. Albus and the others definitely learned more in that class than any other classes. Presulers are my creation, too, and I have a few more ideas of how I can work them into future stories. Albus and Scorpius now have a weird connection through their potential of becoming presulers, although neither of them choose to recognize this connection in the fourth story (at least not yet). I'll let you know if I write anything else about Balladanis!

The Australia chapters were the most fun to write. I really liked tying this together with In Moonlight's Shadow. I'm glad you enjoyed reading it! Kaden's dialogue was very funny and possibly the best part to write in those chapters. Albus did sort of produce a patronus! He's got his dad's skills for that. I planned pretty early on that the resurrection stone wouldn't bring back Voldemort, so I needed someone else for it to bring back. Glad you liked it!

Thanks again for reading and reviewing!!! I hope you enjoy the fourth one! :)
