Comments on the story Another Firewhisky Please

zymurgy commented:
This is a really brilliant "missing scene"! (Your sinister stranger isn't much of a Greek Chappie, really, but you could explain that away as Hagrid simply trying to pretend he knows more than he does.)I love the feel of the story, here, particularly the irony of all of us knowing what's going and Hagrid just being out for a good time.

cassirin commented:
Excellent characterizations and writing. I like the setting... especially choosing a scene we've heard about but haven't seen.

McGonagall's Cat commented:
*still looking for my socks* <br />Great use of required elements (woven in so deftly that I'm glad they had to be bolded or I'd have missed a few). <br />Nifty storyline.

AnimeEyeshime commented:
Just two main comments: I thought it was weird how the stranger starts out by calling Hagrid "Rubeus" and then switching to "Hagrid" and "Mr. Hagrid" before finally going back to calling Hagrid by his first name. I can understand doing the "familiarity" thing to gain trust, but this was a little all over the map... Also, in the book I don't think Hagrid ever named Norbert until he hatched. Just a note! Otherwise, very well written and nicely done.
