Loving the tidbits of information from these ebooks. Some of it I knew, some of it I didn't know. I don't get to explore pottermore as much as I'd like to, so this is perfect.

I'm not crying, you're crying. My only issue with this book is that I wish Jo had given us a better insight into Trelawney's past rather than just her reliance on the heritage of the 'Trelawney' name or why JKR chose to name her 'Sybill'. Just as we learn about McGonagall and Lupin from when they were children, I would have loved for Trelawney to have gotten the same treatment. She is too precious for this.

Aunque no me ha gustado tanto como Howarts: una guía incompleta poco fiable, es interesante llegar a saber más acerca del mundo que creó J.K. Rowling y es, al menos, entretenido.

In the same way Tolkien created a vast world in Middle Earth, Rowling's multi-layered wizarding world continues to amuse and fascinate well into my adulthood.

Stories are REAL short or rather a brief background description of few characters. Seemed simply sloppy and commercial.

”Minerva McGonagall was not immune to a secret amusement at the antics of rule-breakers.”
Stories that talk about how some of the beloved Harry Potter characters were heroic, had a few dangerous hobbies that they loved to partake in and an insight into the lives of these.
This book made me smile as I got to revisit the character which I loved, to find out more about them and there past. Yes I laughed and I cried, some of it was heart breaking. It also gave me some little details that I find to be very relevant to the Harry Potter books, some of which tie up some of my loose ends and made me really understand the way the behaved in the books. I still wish I had receive my Hogwarts letter when I was 11, and this book only made me want it more!

Loved reading more about both McGonagall's and Lupin's backgrounds, plus a few other things.
