This seems to be an issue a lot of people have so I will address it with a dedicated AN.

The issue is Harry not really being Harry and that the story should be OC and that I am trying to trick people who are looking for HP/GOT story.

First off, a crossover is a story which has elements from 2 separate universes. At the very least, you cannot argue that I am using magic from HP universe which is very different from magic in GOT universe. This in itself is enough to justify the crossover tag.

Now, I know I said that Harry Potter is going to be quite different from the canon one since their experiences and environment have been different. But I have all along tried to put in echoes of a past which resonate just below the surface. This Harry is different, and yet there are so many similarities if you would just read between the lines. The fact that quite a few people seem to miss it makes me feel sad. I don't want to make it overly obvious and slap the reader in the face with the similarities.

Another Issue: Harry is so weak, he might as well be OC with no magic. Why is Harry so weak?

Yes, you are right. Compared to my protagonist, the canon Harry Potter was so much powerful. Why, wasn't he performing amazing feats of magic from first year itself. That maze at the end of Year1, he must have obliterated it with a single flick of his wand, didn't he? He didn't use a single spell in the entire maze? Surely you must be mistaken? Ohh well, what about the encounter at the end of year 2?there he must have definitely shown those amazing feats of magic everyone keeps talking about? Once again not a single spell used? What, is he a muggle? They might as well have used a squib instead of a wizard for all the magic Harry used. JK Rowling is so stupid, her Harry is so weak, it's nothing like actual Harry you all know, isn't it?

You see the problem? It's not that my protagonist is weak in magic. It's that you have created such a fanon cliche in your mind where Harry is choking Dumbledore with his own beard using his left hand and stomping on Voldemort's face while playing a guitar with his right. That's not the canon version. Canon Harry hardly ever displays amazing feats of magic. The patronus came in year 3 and he spent half a year learning it, still got it wrong, time travelled back and then finally managed it. For god's sake, even after 7 years of magical education, his go to spell in every fight is Expelliarmus, the disarming spell he learnt in Year2. So next time you decide to shoot off and call my character weak, take a breath and try to determine who you are comparing him to, canon or some other fanfiction. I will not turn my lead character into a mockery just to conform to some ridiculous character people have made up in their minds. And for the love of god, this is GOT universe, it is loved for it's political intrigue. If I supplant that with a god who is just smacking everyone around with his magic, will it even be interesting anymore?

Terenell L Black: I never denied canon Harry was strong. You missed the forest for trees there. The point was, as strong as canon Harry is, JK Rowling takes her own sweet time to make him grow into his power and I will do something similar. I won't follow fanon cliches where he is super powered god from day you talk about having crappy teachers, this Harry doesn't have any teachers, or even a wand. Frankly what he has achieved with all the limitations is amazing.

88mph : Did you even bother reading the story? Where have I taken away his magic? How is the magic in the story different from canon magic, Apart from being wandless? Even what you said about my argument is the exact opposite. I am arguing that the development of my character is on par with canon Harry to those who are calling my character too weak. People are not looking for canon Harry, they are looking for a badass deus ex machina who curbstomps everyone in his path, something canon Harry almost never does. Please do me the courtesy of atleast reading the damn thing before berating me in reviews.

NoOneInParticular17 : I am upset because people won't give my character the time to grow. People like you want a caricature who throws around huge fireballs and curbstomps an entire army, fuck logic and power scaling. The examples you set out are model teens who have achieved more than anyone could have thought out of them. It is not a norm to be like them. I have created my character with inherent flaws and drawbacks. He is royalty, spoilt like all the others. He is selfish and arrogant. Also, what you seem to conveniently ignore is that all those teenagers showed immense maturity only after facing immense peraonal tragedy. Robb stark was all fun and games until his father got arrested. Daenerys has been on the run for her life, sold and raped, and widowed before she grew so strong. Arya Stark saw her father get beheaded, ran around the countryside surviving from all manner of enemies, seeing the cruep underbelly of westeros and finally saw her family get slaughtered before she became a faceless girl. My protagonist hasn't yet faced such challenge. But ofcourse that doesn't matter to you.

HadrianLannister : For this Harry, Lily Potter is nothing more than a shade of the past. He remembers her, but Cersei is his mother for all intents and purposes. And no matter how much of a bitch a mother is, a child still loves his mother and yearns for acceptance. That is human nature. Give the character some time to develop and break out of the shackles of affection.

InfernoItaliano: A person cannot cut off all affection he feels for his mother? Sure he feels resentment and betrayal but affection for a mother can't just disappear altogether, maybe ever. I like to make my characters more than one dimensional. Just because my character states that he doesn't care about his mother, doesn't make it true. On some level he knows that his mother hates him, yet he tries to convince himself that maybe she will start to care for him. Humans are like that, even when we know the truth in our hearts, we try to convince ourselves otherwise. The emotional flipflops and rollercoaster will continue I am afraid. (I apologize for the heartless comment, it was meant in a joking manner and not seriously)

92 : What you "consequently" and conveniently forget is that it took Harry years to get to the point where he could use those strong spells yet you expect my protagonist to use those same powered spells without plot or character development. You do realize that a title is given for the whole story and not the first 6 chapters? As in, if Martin calls his series "A song of Ice and Fire" then people don't expect to find out what he means by that song in first 6 chapters, or even first 5 books? I hope you understand the point.

Tywin Lannister: Same for you, read the summary. The character is emotionally damaged, he definitely does look for his parent's approval. Lead character cannot be an epitome of perfection. He has his flaws, he is human after all. Also, this is GOT universe, magic is a tool but to win, you need to play the game. The original story is so good not because of dragons and ice zombies, but because of the politics. I am trying to do something similar.

Appreciate all the reviews, good or bad. I will try to answer more in this note as they come.
