2 stars The book is a good reputation of the film and sticks closely to the events of the movie. The artwork was good, although I thought some of the facial expressions were lacking, such as during action scenes where Igor was still completely stone faced. I did enjoy the preview of Igor Movie Prequel…

5 stars This was by far my favorite book in the original trilogy. This book was much easier to follow in comparison to the first two books, because instead of covering over a hundred years, the events all take place relatively close to each other and the narration focuses on the same characters. There were…

4 stars I received a copy of this book from Goodreads in exchange for an honest review.This is such a well done book. Good writing, developed characters (for a book targeted at children), and an exhilarating plotline. This is a fun book directed toward younger readers, but which can be enjoyed by older audiences as…

2 stars This book has been on my shelf for over ten years (having picked it out of a Scholastics book catalog sometime in my youth solely because the edition I own has a cover with Ken dolls falling through a blue backdrop), I finally got around to reading it. It’s pretty much everything you’d…

4 stars A quick, fun read. While each entry is rather short and there are minimal pictures of the creatures, this is still a very good read. The making of the book is also interesting since it was written to benefit Comic Relief, giving you all the more reason to read it. A must read…

2 stars A very cute book containing mythology, popular media, and fun activities, ranging in topic from spells and illusions to predicting the future. A fun book for children interested in wizardary.

3 stars A quick, fun read. The tone of this book is very conversational. It’s rambling and random and is often interrupted by semi-related tangents. But that makes it no less of a fun journey. This book is like talking to a close friend who happens to be quite witty and also famous.The jokes range…

3 stars I spent my whole childhood having never read this book solely because I owned a VHS of a film version, which was horribly dark and, to my young mind, violent and scary. I was finally brave enough to tackle the book.Overall, the book was good. There were many interesting stories throughout the book…

4 stars I was very excited to read this book, and while I believe it was very well written, I can’t help but be a little disappointed.The thing I hated about the first book was the whole beginning was so slow. But once it got going, I was hooked. This one was much better in…

4 stars This is an amazing set of stories. I will admit that I did not have very high expectations for this book, but it definitely surpassed them all by far.The stories are well written and interesting. I also enjoyed Dumbledore’s analyses and stories after each tale. It was also fun to be able to…
