I do not often like either redeemed Snape nor books with Albus Severus, and this book and its sequel contain both. Despite that, I do enjoy it. This book has one plot element that I particularly like, Harry crafts runes that amplify the power of the sacrifice he makes when he allows Riddle to kill him.

Ginny, Ron, and Hermione are allowed to see key scenes from Harry’s past. But are these just visions, or can they change the future? This story departs from much of what happened in books six and seven. It assumes that Dumbledore and his allies did train Harry, secretly, and that training was just as brutal and inhumane, in its own way, as his early life. Unlike the epilogue of the real book seven, this story shows a real relationship between Harry and Ginny, and realistically named children result.

Harry spends a few days as a student in his parents’ seventh year just after wining the canonical battle. He reveals very little while he is back there, but is responsible for encouraging Lily to reevaluate her relationships, and Dumbledore to trust the prophesy.

The most unfortunate thing in this one is that the authors decided not to actually mess with future time. That aside, its a fun trip through the past as the group deals with the stress of being out of time, and Harry and Ginny grow close earlier than the original.

Despite its age, I only recently came across this from another reader’s recommendations. It is very well done. The author correctly introduces some concern with the concept of the time traveller dating now inhabiting the body of his younger self. This is not, unfortunately, fully resolved. There is a conversation with Luna that I suspect is intended to do so, but does not fully satisfy. I also would have liked to see a post-Riddle conversation with Dumbledore, but that also was not included. Overall though, I am satisfied, there is a “I succeeded and the future is unknown” feel to the ending that is appropriate.

This is a fairly unique take on time travel. Harry causes everyone to go back, but only for one hour.

For any given filter, no matter how reasonable, there is an exception. I am not usually a fan of pairing Hermione with random adults. However, a time traveller who remains in her adult body interacting with other adult characters lacks much of the creepy factor that makes that so objectionable. This work features the many-worlds theory of time travel. I admit I prefer the approach where you actually change the past and thus, if you can return, the present you return to. That being said, there is much that is well done in this story. Of particular note, it is said at multiple points that Riddle probably intended to create his final horcrux with Harry’s death. What artefact did he intend to use?
