Harry Potter and the Cracked Reservoir

My only comment so far is that your characters tend to 'sound' the same. Everyone seems to use the same pool of words, etc. They mostly seem to be clones of each other, you just change the names.

I guess I'd like to see more individuality.
I see Ron as speaking with a lot of !!!. Once in a while he'd go 'Bloody Hell!' etc. He's probably suffering from self-esteem issues so he comes across as hesitant and unsure at times.
Hermione uses big words and her ideas flow and mesh together. She can at time be lecturing and caring.
Harry uses short sentences, he wants to get his ideas out using as little words as possible.
My opinion anyway.

Outstanding. Enjoyed that.

Not a bad chapter, just not much to comment on. Carying onward...

and ginny would know what Harodds is because...
- did the order rent a ministry car? I mean I doubt they just let anyone use them.

Ginny could know what Harrods was, because it is not stated in canon that she is an idiot.  Too much is often assumed that the younger wizards and witches know absolutely nothing about muggles.  Ginny could very well have some experience talking to people that have shopping experience outside of the few clothing shops available to witches in the British wizarding world.  I am still within canon on this issue because JKR has never stated that Ginny grew up locked in the cellar.  You may just be assuming that Ginny, a girl, has the interest in clothing and the knowledge of the muggle world as her brother Ron, a boy.  One example to show this false would be:  Have you ever read, in canon, where Ginny makes the same ignorant mispronunciations as Ron or Mr. Weasley?  Knowing the existance and quality of Harrods is very minor for a teenage girl, witch or not, that is growing up in England.

First, why can't it be a ministry car?  Harry has several off duty Aurors on his escort, his travel plans were arranged by the Head of the Wizengamot and the Minister himself would want to be on Harry's good side after a whole year of defamation.  This is unimportant stuff, why latch onto it?  If you don't like my story, I am not forcing you to read.

HAHA! Harry goes shopping! (Does a jig)

Excellent! Can't wait for the next chapter!

The heartbreak of Harry pre-Hogwarts, and even in the summers while attending Hogwarts - thinking about what he must have endured makes anyone want to crush the Dursleys.

Great fun first shopping day for Harry.

good chapter update soon

A most awesome addition to a fantabulous story. I hope that upon reflection, Hermione doesn't get too upset about Harry having to convince Ron to not spend too much time in QQS.
