A 11 year old James Potter mooning over one firecracker by the name of Lily Evans is the cutest thing ever!

I´M SO SOFT RN I LOVE THEM SM AND MISSED THEM WITH MY WHOLE HEART.

James and Sirius's friendship will forever be the highlight of this book. I'm rereading the whole series with the hope of finally being brave enough to read Year Seven; can't wait for Year 3 though, I miss wolfstar sm

4,5⭐

Peter's portrayal isn't the best and this is in fact my reread. I started the series last year and when i was finished binging it I wholeheartedly believed it was the best retelling of the marauders era characters but i was much mistaken. There's no Mary, Marlene, Dorcas but the Longbottoms are there. There are a fair few OCs which I think can be interpreted as replacements such as SPOILERS(maryrose)SPOILERS who I interpret as Mary and SPOILERS(Dorcas comes in much much later)SPOILERS but there are a few of Lily's friends who can be an embodiment of her. Lily can come across as rather prim but she has her moments of letting loose and going along with the boys' antics.

“And here they are,” said Dumbledore, eyes twinkling, “The marauders themselves!”

No soy la mayor fan de Harry Potter, me gustan bastante las películas y disfruté los libros (aunque se me hicieron algo pesados), pero no llego al nivel de leer fanfics de los personajes. Por eso me sorprende tanto haber leído este fic tan largo y que me gustara lo suficiente como para seguir con la saga.

La historia está centrada en los merodeadores y eso fue lo que me llamó la atención porque son personajes que conocemos en Harry Potter pero que no tienen como mucho contenido, eso hace que sea más fácil para mi leer el fic sin tener conflicto por cambios con respecto a lo canon, igual tampoco es que recuerde mucho de lo canon.

Este primer libro es el primer año de los merodeadores en Hogwarts, es super largo y si se me hizo pesado en algunas partes, pero fue muy divertido e interesante. Me gusta la cantidad de desarrollo que hay en la historia, no parece un fanfic por la manera en que está escrito con buenas explicaciones del mundo y la magia, así como buen desarrollo de los personajes.

Hay varios puntos de vista, eso fue genial porque ver que piensan todos hace que la historia sea más interesante, también hace que no pueda realmente odiar a ningún personaje. Admito que fue divertido y frustrante porque son niños, piensan y hacen cosas graciosas, pero también piensan y hacen cosas demasiado estúpidas. Les perdono algunas solo porque en mi mente son tiernos.

Mis favoritos fueron Remus y Sirius, me hicieron sufrir mucho porque sus vidas no son nada fáciles. Tuvieron unos momentos muy lindos que hizo que los shippeara desde ya, se que son unos mocosos pero no me importa. Después viene James que no lo odié pero tampoco lo ame, me pareció un muy bueno amigo y me dio risa su crush con Lily. Por último está Peter que es simplemente una pequeña rata.

Fuera de los merodeadores están Snape y Lily. De Snape no tengo mucho que decir, me da un poco de cringe y me parece que es un hipócrita con respecto a todo el tema de la pureza de la sangre. Por otro lado está Lily que me estresó la mayor parte del libro pero que tuvo uno que otro momento que me hizo querer darle una oportunidad.

Toda la trama de Voldemort planeando conquistar el mundo está bien buena pero aquí en realidad no pasó mucho, solo un encuentro al final que obviamente salió mal.

Esto es apenas el comienzo de una larga historia que estoy preparada para leer, necesito saber como avanzan relaciones, amistades y la guerra. De verdad lo disfruté mucho, pero igual no puedo creer que esté tan enganchada con un fanfic.

I am re-reading this series. I read it for the first time back in 2018-2019ish, and I didn't know that Wattpad books were on Goodreads. Anyway, I love this book, as it sets up the story for all the other books to come. I really love all the characters, even Peter. Well, except Severus obviously. I love the Marauders and I think the author does an exceptional job at keeping the same tone as the Harry Potter books have. I'm still as obsessed with this series as I was back in 2019, and so that is a comfort I guess. I can't wait to read book 2!

[Katie Parkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

Every reread reminds me of how much of my personality I stole from Lily, Sirius, and James.

[Christy · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5 stars. I struggled with the characterizations a bit. I may have just been spoiled from All The Young Dudes though. All in all, I enjoyed aspects of this fic. The third person omniscient perspective was interesting because you are better able to empathize with all the characters. However, it also means that sometimes the narration seems a bit detached and impersonal. I’ve heard that things get better starting in 4th year so maybe I’ll keep reading for that.

All in all, not horrible but not my favorite marauder fic. Now I’m worried ATYD ruined me for all other marauder fics…💀

[lina · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5*
Cant say that it compares to ATYD but it’s still good, way too much snape though hopefully there will be less in later years. Still not 100% on whether wolfstars a thing if it’s not I’ll be VERY dissapointed. WANT MORE REMUS AS WELL

Jily in this book >>>

[Diana Y. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Calificación: 4.5

Desde hace tiempo le estaba dando vueltas al leer algo de los merodeadores pero me tope con esta historia y mi curiosidad ganó, la verdad valió completamente la pena.

Esta historia nos introduce al primer año de los icónicos "Merodeadores", nos cuenta como se formo este grupo que puso a Hogwarts de cabeza y es tan lindo ver las primeras interacciones de cada uno, el como se van complementando entre ellos así como tambien Lily lleva lo "merodeador" en la sangre.

Me encantó el desarrollo de los personajes, el conocer más de sus vidas fuera de Hogwarts porque te ayuda a darte una idea de porque cada uno tiene la personalidad que posee. Sinceramente el libro esta muy bien escrito, mantiene al lector enganchado en la lectura, la cual es ligera y dinámica.

¡Estoy por comenzar el segundo libro!

[Oliwia · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quite boring but it’s understandable since it’s the beginning of their story so it’s more of an introduction to the characters and they are only just developing. There wasn’t a lot of wolfstar crumbs (once again understandable since they are 11/12) but near the end there was one or two which made me very happy. Not a lot of Jily since Lily does ‘hate’ James but they were still adorable. I loved having different povs. Too much Snape though, his whole character was just a red flag ‘Lily’s mine and no one can have her.’ I feel like there was so much Voldemort talk aswell which i didn’t like. I heard the next book isn’t much better, it picks up at the 3rd book so i’m happy to keep reading on.

4.5 —
This was such an amazing fanfiction. I truly felt so connected to the characters and I am amazed at how she was able to bring them to life. It honestly felt as if this was part of J.K Rowling’s series and she really did a fantastic job at building upon her work. I highly recommend reading this if you’ve always felt like wanting to know more about Harry’s dad and his friends. I absolutely loved the story and the author captured their personalities incredibly well. I am very curious about the next book, I will definitely be picking it up soon.

[Shanetta Toivari · Rating 4 out of 5]

This fic is so good, but so long. I had to start this a few times again cuz I was too lazy to continue and forgot about it for months. Especially as they’re so young and there’s not much to the plot yet, it gets boring at times. I cried twice in this first book, both times bc of Sirius:’( I recommend very much<3

[Xiraani · Rating 4 out of 5]

solid 4 or 4.5 stars
it was really catchy and it kinda matched my idea of the characters that i have had created in my mind.
a quote:
“Sirius scoffed, ‘You have spent more thank five minuets with us — heck, you spent an hour and a half with us and you thought your seven year stay at Hogwarts was going to be boring?’
‘We are ashamed,’ added James with a lob sided grin, Remus laughed and nodded.”

[Maddie · Rating 2 out of 5]

not that’s it’s bad, but it’s the first year so obviously nothing super special has happened to make me like it more

- the wolfstar crumbs 😩needed more
- jily was so cute tho
- lily and peter made me so frustrated sometimes
- the snape povs 🤮

[Madison Hurst · Rating 4 out of 5]

this book was obviously amazing

BUT WHY DID THEY THINK IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO ANTAGONIZE AND TAUNT VOLDEMORT LMAO “OPERATION MOLDY VOLDY” LMAO

AND JAMES CALLED HIM A WANKER AND GOT CRUCTIATAFIED LMAO WHAT DID HE EXPECT LETS BE REAL

[Arambh Shah]

Recommended by a friend, and wanted something a taste of reading something from the harry potter universe for the first time. This didn't disappoint, it's refreshing to read the different perspectives with a similar writing style.

[M · Rating 5 out of 5]

Iconic. 10/10. Best introduction into the marauders fandom. Probably read like three times at this point. Are there flaws? mhm. Did I still love every single moment? for sure. Great James characterization, just a sweet, mostly canon compliant, marauders fic.
