The episodic nature of this story is wearing on me a bit. I’m not talking about wanting to know what happens and having to wait for that knowledge to be doled out bit by bit. That’s pretty much fine. It’s the feeling that there’s a grand overarching plot that’s being distracted from by Plots of the Month. Even if the PotM do contribute to the overall plot—and they probably do—it feels like they do so in a rather meandering, patchwork way. Where’s my beloved “use science to figure out the nature of magic, and use that to cure death for everyone” plotline? Will we finally get back to it now that Hermione’s dead?
I feel the complete opposite. I want to read the serial story of “Ender Wiggin goes to Hogwarts” and his repeated elaborate schemes of awesomeness. I’m disappointed that it looks like this fic could end soon.

Look on the bright side. He might begin something new afterwards.
