Good as the others, you get more in depth of the world which some complain people should let the world die, I'm one of those who gobble this up.

Nothing like JK Rowling and some Harry Potter to make one feel safe and home. I had a horrible day and couldn't sleep--- so I curled up with this short guide and burrowed into the world of Harry Potter. I couldn't have felt more safe. JK Rowling has a way with words--- and her ideas make me so happy. I enjoyed reading some backgrounds on different ideas and objects that appeared in the series... It will definitely give me some more insight into the wizard world for next time I reread the series.
Read if you love Harry Potter and miss being at Hogwarts.

I enjoyed these behind the scenes. Getting to learn more about the ghosts, magical items, and castle was fun and interesting. I look forward to my kids being older and rereading these stories with them.

I just discovered these ebooks existed the other day and I'm thrilled!
While it's not the Hogwarts: A History textbook that I'd die for, it's a fab collection of short stories and musings on Hogwarts and its most colourful inhabitants. We get to finally see inside the Hufflepuff common room, learn about the origins of the Hogwarts Express, find out how Nearly Headless Nick became nearly headless, and find out what happened to the Mirror of Erised - among much more!
This is a quick read that adds even more depth to the wizarding world, and I enjoyed every minute of it. It's great to get more back story on certain people or magical objects, as well as get some of JK's insights as to why things were or weren't included. I'll definitely be giving this a reread soon!

This short read was very interesting. It dives more into how JK Rowling came to be inspired by some of the characters and how she decided on names for characters. It has a lot of detail & I found it super interesting and informative. She really put a lot of time and effort into her characters and world building.
