If Harry is smart, since he's consulted the senior American diplomat (the magical eminence grise of the American magical government), perhaps Harry should actually consider consulting the *British muggles*; specifically the PM and the Royal Family? It could help minimize both *colatteral damage* to the Muggle government, and possibly end-run the existing Magical government if they can get the Royals (and the PM) backing them up.

An interesting chapter. I rather liked the bit with Benjamin Franklin, it should prove interesting to see what springs from this. Great job.

Hermione only 'squeed'?

I'd have thought she'd have multiple 'joygasms' or something.

I guess when you're going to overthrow the government, learn from the best?

I enjoyed reading your story. I liked the way you have Harry & the Goblins working together.

Yay! Great chapter Keith!

I'm glad to have read this chapter... Benjamin Franklin... dude... that's awesome.

Is he seen as a traitor to Great Britain though? I wonder?

Great chapter,

William

Great chapter! I look forward to the rest of the story.

One correction though, "dissolve the political bands" should read "dissolve the political bonds".

Almost forgot, is Harry willing to find and wait for someone to publish something like Common Sense as Thomas Paine did in Virginia?

ben franklin?! thats a first for me in all hp fanfiction but you've done it well and rather believable. i love the idea of him having porn on his desktop...made me burst out laughing startling the people next to me. kind of found it confusing that harry didn't initially understand the significance of the document ben gave him, but then again, i'm american, and the revolution is pounded into us from an early age.
keep up the good work

Yep. All Hell's going to break loose! Excellent chapter!

We finally get around to the group sex. It's not a real Kinsfire fic without.

Seriously, though, I liked the bit with Harry's doubts and Ben Franklin. I could really see Franklin being just like that.

Wonderful chapter! What a perfect person for Harry to talk to before beginning a revolution against the English government. One slight thing, isn't Philadelphia is 5 hours behind England, not 5 hours ahead? Noon in England would be 7am for Ben, but it still shouldn't be a problem. Early to bed, early to rise and all that:)
