Unauthorized Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows News: Harry Potter Book Seven and Half-Blood Prince Analysis
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this e-book after finishing the series again and was wanting a bit more to ponder in anticipation of book 7. It was interesting, though some opinions and analyses ignored passages in the books which contained the information to clearly contradict the stated analysis or opinion.
I guess I was hoping for more concrete information, and perhaps some genuine spoilers. Mostly, this book was just speculation and "educated" guessing. I felt a little let down and wanting something with more substance. It seemed like I was reading a web log or USENET News Group thread (which can be done for free and you get the benefit of interaction with others).
I was also -appalled- at the lack of proofreading. It is clear no one read through this book prior to publishing. Will someone PLEASE PROOF READ THIS BOOK and correct the typos??? It was embarrassing and annoying to read.
Is it worth the $11, maybe. It does collect some interesting thoughts and ideas in one spot. Mr. Zimmerman did put some effort into the original draft and so I don't regret spending the money but it is hard to recommend this work highly.

Complete Idiot's Guide to The World of Harry Potter by Tere StoufferWhen I got this book I thought it might just be a recap of the Harry Potter books, all of which I enjoyed immensely. However, to my surprise and delight this is truly a GUIDE, although certainly not written for idiots, despite the catchy name of the series of excellent and informative books! Instead, it holds a wealth of fascinationg knowledge, showing that J.K. Rowling really researched her fantastic stories in minute detail,rather than making it all up. In this guide, which you can use like a dictionary to look up terms you don't understand in the British or archaic language, or which you can enjoy reading straight through and devouring the knowledge of medieval practices, beliefs, cures, spells, and more. You can understand terms used in fairy tales and old English and Celtic lore; increase your vocabulary to include many real words you didn't know; understand references to mythological traditions and floklore; have insight into the beliefs and legends of Egyptian, Greek, Mesopotamian, and Roman gods and traditions. You will learn about many herbs and the actual medicinal practices of ancient times, on which Rowling bases her potions. And, of course, many of the references and situations in the Harry Potter Series are explained and clarified, without ruining the plot of those you haven't yet read. This is a fascinating book to read even if you have not read the Rowling books. I highly recommend it!

The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Standard Edition Review

The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Standard Edition
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you love the Harry Potter series, then this is a must-have. It arrived in the mail yesterday, and I devoured it right away. And that's my only complaint: it's brevity. It's a short, quick read. But a fun one.
And it's not simply a handful of fairy tales from the wizarding world. The commentary by Albus Dumbledore on each story was a really nice touch, in some cases even more entertaining to me than the stories themselves.
If you were expecting a thick book that would absorb you for hours as the Harry Potter series did, I hope you're not disappointed in this book's brevity. It's still worth the price if you enjoy the series, and it supports a charitable cause.
If you've never read the Harry Potter books (or seen the movies, I suppose) then do NOT consider this a sample of the series. You will not glean any sense of the depth, quality and, as everyone else calls it, the magic of the Harry Potter world. This book is a tasty dessert to those who've feasted on the seven-course series.

I felt that the description of the item overplayed what the item consisted of.. Similar candy mold and accessories would cost under $10in a craft store. i already had the recipes. The packaging was excellent but once i opened the box I was disappointed.

The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook: From Cauldron Cakes To Butterbeer Review

The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook: From Cauldron Cakes To Butterbeer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this cookbook as well as the other unofficial Harry Potter cookbook (( by a different author)). The $14 isn't worth the price unless you are a Harry Potter fan and just have to have all things with the name Harry Potter on it. Comparing the two books this book has approx. 42 pages of recipes ((the other unofficial book by the another author has 230 pages ))and considering many recipes found in this book are in the other book it just isn't worth the money. The other cookbook is around $11 and has more recipes. There are a few pictures in this book that give an idea how the end result should look but even still, not all recipes have the photos. I appreciate honest reviews and I hesitate to say this, but I'm pretty sure I could have done a better job putting together this cookbook with just my personal computer and printer.

Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal Review

Average Reviews:

This is a great, easy, relaxing way to keep up your already advanced Spanish. It might also be a good way to greatly improve your intermediate Spanish. Keep a dictionary and a notepad handy for those new vocabulary words. Or don't. After a little while of recording new words, I finally quit and just read for the pleasure of it, deciphering words by context. Sometimes I grabbed the English version to check a phrase. That worked well, too. In short, for use as a language builder and confidence builder, I highly recommend this book to you. However, if you're hoping to comprehend the complexities of grammar, there are just enough strange turns of phrase in this book that I would say this is not your first source for grammar lessons.

Harry Potter Paperback Box Set (Books 1-6) Review

My problem was that these books were missing chunks of pages! We didn't notice it until book 4 of 6, but 80+ pages were gone! Now, Amazon was great about replacing the set adn paying for me to return the messed-up set. This is just a warning to check your boxed set when it gets in for missing chunks of pages!
Of course, the Harry Potter series is great, adn we love having them in paperback.
