Product Description:
From Azkaban to zombies, every aspect of the enthralling universe in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series is explained, expanded, and celebrated in this literary guidebook for Muggles (humans who are often not aware of the magical world that witches and wizards inhabit). Characters, creatures, locations, and objects in the series are explored, including the magicians’ school Hogwarts, the sport of Quidditch, and the practitioners of the dark arts. Enthusiasts of the series will find supplementary information on the historical roots of the symbolism and mythology used in the series, how the books and movies compare, and creative ideas for throwing a Harry Potter–themed party.

A Muggle’s Guide to the Wizarding World by
This book was very helpful to me. When I wanted to look up something about harry potter, All I had to do was look it up in here. I would not have to go skimming through the entire book for acceptance letters or supply lists, and i also would not have to circle every student name in the entire book to create a list of all the Hogwarts students. I love it!
Not for somebody who is obsessed with Harry Potter by Helaine Schachter
My friend and I who aer obsessed with Harry Potter decided to buy this book when we were having withdrawl symptoms. We thought it would be great read other predictions as well as seeing what other people think the books mean. Unfortuantly the book did not meet our expectations. There were many mistakes and they also wouldn’t discuss what happens at the end of each book and therefore didnt’ discuss the books in much depth. I think that if you are obsessed with Harry Potter like me, this book isn’t for you.
Absolutely Recommend by Sassapphras
I have been looking for a Harry Potter book strictly based on events in the Harry Potter series which contains ONLY facts and haven’t found anything I’ve been interested enough in to spend my money on until now.
This is an incredible Harry Potter guide. Fionna Boyle goes into great detail about people, places, things, etc. Not only does she list virtually everything contained in the Harry Potter series, but she goes into depth about the meanings of names, facts from J. K. Rowlings interviews, and insights you may have missed. She does an excellent job of helping you put two and two together to get a result you may not have understood (or remembered). I’ll most likely be re-reading the Harry Potter series again (to pass away the time before The Half-Blood Prince gets here) and this guide will be right next to me for any references I need (spells, magical items, etc.). I recommend this guide to any Harry Potter fan who wants to be as in tune with the Harry Potter world as possible!
better get it from the library first by Maria
Take the five books and make them into one book listing just about anything you can imagine(from spells to desciptions of every single person mentioned) and you have the “Muggle’s guide”. I was very disappointed because there was hardly anything new. Background information seemed to be mostly quoted from the official J.K. Rowling website-which existence was the only new information I got out of the whole book.(and you can look it up there online firsthand).I was glad, I got it from the library and didn’t spend any money on it.Better and more entertaining is “the magical world of Harry Potter”-where you can find good research of the meaning of latin and greek words used and connection to J.K.’s personal experience like the dementors are representing depression.
