I have left commenting on this story for almost a whole day. I was waiting to have the right words to do your story justice. I fear that I have failed but here goes.

I love the theme/genre you choose. I have not seen the film but after reading your story I know I would enjoy it. The cast of 'Afterlife' characters were wonderful, I especially liked Snape and your choices for opposing counsel. Fred's appearance made my heart ache as if he were my own brother and the reminder of his death still hurts even after 3 years.

Harry and Ron are so them. Ron is gorgeous and is wonderful and kind, which is no surprise to anyone, right? All Harry's friends are lovely but I love that Ron took those stairs without a second thought.

I had so much more I wanted to say but as I already said I could never do this story justice, so I will stop.

Thank you for writing such an enjoyable story that had me in its grip from beginning to end.

(I will be back to comment on the art when I have had a chance to gaze upon it more thoroughly.)

So wonderful! I love the afterlife, especially the waiting room! Everyone's reaction was perfect and Ron was so fantastic. Great premise and story!

That didn't even feel like a long fic!

Hooray for Ron being all perfectly brave and loyal.

Oh and Harry blurting out that he loved him and then looking round and thinking he was dead *meep*

It was a lovely touch having Hedwig deliver his message to the afterlife too.

Well done you!

Brilliant story. Loved the premise, well written and the characters were perfectly in character. Good job. :D

Wow. I can't quite find the right words to say how much I loved this story, but I'm sitting here with the biggest sappy grin plastered all over my face! What an amazing story, and such a clever plot. I'm amazed at your ability to keep everybody so in character. Snape's not exactly my favourite character but "Conductor Snape" and his resentment were just priceless and made me both snort and giggle.

Well, I'm still kind of speechless, but thanks for making me remember why I love Harry/Ron so much!
