A very helpful guide! by Michelle A. Goodwin
I am currently taking a literature course on Harry Potter, it is part of a children’s literature minor that I am going for. This book was not required, but I got it in case it was a good supplement - and it is! This book explores roots behind names in their language. It also discusses what the “real” equivalent means to us. For example, how we view dragons (if they were real) versus how they are viewed in the magical world of J.K. Rowling.

An excellent, easy read, quick guide to some of the big mythologies and legends that go into the series - just in case you don’t really know much about them!

Great Background by Bertram Wooster
Like many, a little disappointed at the final end of the harry Potter series (?), I found this to be an excellent background. Not to mention amusing.

You can feel your mental landscape adjusting just a little bit with every little factoid you glean….

needs no stars by Rhain Blackthorn
Why would anyone need a guide to understand the Harry Potter Series? J.K.Rowling certainly did a glorious job of the books, she made them quite clear. I have no respect for people who capitalize on the successful works of others. It implies that they have no talent of their own so therefore must glom onto the talent of another and ride their coat tails to success.

good book by D. Devine
I bought this book for my children, and myself. I expected it to be a bit more, but my children found it to be informative. We found it to be a fun read, and the facts interesting. It made it fun to figure out where some of the characters and creatures were from.

I recommend this book to everyone.
