If you haven’t literally juuuust finished the bodyguard, this won’t really translate well. It’s not it’s own fic. At all. It’s got legit snippets of story with no reference to when or where or who. If it at least started with some kind of reference, chapters or something, then it might make more sense. But in several sections its just two people, one being Harry, the other being unidentified until the dialogue progresses well into several paragraphs when you find out who he is talking to. I can’t read like that. I need to know who I’m imagining in the scene.
I wish I could have enjoyed this more. I genuinely loved bodyguard.

This was way more enjoyable but also heartbreaking than the original, but I am also a sucker for details. I am glad this fic provided Harry's side and context to some of the events we see from Hermione's POV in the original. This is def more focused on the before and the after of the events of The Bodyguard, but I think a blended read is the best practice to get a whole picture. Teddy did save this fic in so so many ways.

Maybe a 3.75 star - I think I liked Harry's POV more!

Spanish/English Review.
Cuando termine The Bodyguard, yo ya sabía, que de inmediato iba a leer esta segunda parte.
The Minister se enfoca en la perspectiva de Harry al 100% tal como The Bodyguard se enfoco en la perspectiva de Hermione. Debo decir, que aunque disfrute mucho el lado de Hermione, en esta parte vemos un poco más el lado personal de Harry, con mucho más flashbacks y mucho más contexto de su pasado y presente fuera de cuando es "Jefe de Aurores".
La trama sigue siendo lo mismo, sobre el atentado contra Hermione, PERO en esta versión vemos un poquito más sobre la vida de Harry. Resulta que él adoptó a Teddy, y es muy bonito ver este lado de él. También vemos cómo trabaja en su salud mental posterior a la guerra, algo que le ha beneficiado en terapia hablar y tratarlo. Y le gusta cocinar, pero delicioso. Platillo que hacía o mencionaba se me hacía agua la boca, igual como a Hermione.
Adicionalmente, esta versión cuenta con arte, tanto bonito como spicy jajaja fue un bonito detalle y algo que creo no mencione en la reseña de The Bodyguard, es que se establece que Harry tiene ascendencia arábica y Hermione es una mujer de color. El arte lo refleja y vaya que lo sentí súper acertado a como la autora los describe.

As soon as I finished The Bodyguard, I just knew I had to immediately read this second part.
The Minister focuses on Harry's perspective of The Minister, just as The Bodyguard focuses on Hermione's point of view. I do have to say that although I enjoyed Hermione's side, with Harry we see a lot more of his personal side, with more flashbacks and a lot more insight on his past and present outside of being "Head of Aurors".
The plot is still the same, about the attempt on Hermione's life, BUT with a focus on Harry's personal life. He adopted Teddy, and that's something that's just so cute to see. We also see his focus on his mental health after the war and how therapy has helped him even to this day. Plus, he loves to cook. Any mention of any dish he prepared just left me hungry.
Additionally, this part has some fanart, both cute and spicy hahaha it was a nice detail and I don't recall if I mentioned it in The Bodyguard review, but it is established that neither Harry nor Hermione are white. The art reflects this and it felt pretty spot on on how the author describes them.
