This is just a strange idea that's been bouncing around in my head since
the Movie came out.
As the list seems very dead, I thought I'd stick it out there and see what
sort of reaction it provokes.

Looks interesting... I have to wonder how the situation with the Ranma cast
came about, though.  Sounds like Ranma is cured of his curse somehow, or at
least I'm guessing that is what the red hair symbolizes(unless, of course,
Ranma is misidentified when he's said to be a boy), but how that happened
while making Shampoo be stuck as a cat, as well as Ranma's lack of a
reaction to said cat, I do not know... Then there's the whole bit with
everybody being younger than they should be.  So there are a number of
things that this teaser makes me wonder about, which is a good thing, I
think.

Something that is disgustingly common among Harry Potter fics is having new
students show up to interract with the Harry Potter cast, like what is
happening here with Kasumi, but based on your other stuff I'd have to say
that you could probably pull it off without making it be too annoying,
especially since you're bringing Ranma, Colonge, and Akane along for the
ride.  I'm hoping to not see TOO much interraction between the Ranma
characters and Harry's trio, since they're seperated by a number of years
and it seems unlikely, but at least a certain amount of it wouldn't be too
much of a stretch.

So... are you going to write more?  It seems like there are a few different
Ranma/Harry Potter stories being started now, which is pretty cool, but none
of them have really gotten past the beginning stages, and this one is
actually further along than the others, since the Ranma cast has actually
met the main HP cast and not just Hagrid.  So I would like to see this go
further.

I should probably get more work done on plotting my own Ranma/HP idea out.
Wonder if we'll be seeing this crossover becoming as common as Ranma/SM
stories as time goes by... ^_^;
