Customer Reviews

Interesting plot suggestions by C. J. Knight
This writer is very clever in the evaluation of Harry Potter. The author comes up with many different scenarios based on facts in the first six books and gives deep thought to all possibilities. This book is a great read for the Potter fan that is anxiously awaiting Book 7!

Great attention to detail by R. Anderson
I’ve read three HP ‘prediction’ books, and this was definitely the most enjoyable read. The author clearly has given this a great deal of thought; he not only discusses his ideas on ‘the big questions’ that we all have (and came up with some fascinating twists to think about!) but also presents a number of small details that I guarantee never occurred to you, but once you read them you can’t stop thinking about them and where they may lead. I especially loved that he referenced books with page numbers for every assertion he made, so that I could go back and reread in more detail. It was fun to reread parts, after having been given additional insight to their meanings.

I also greatly liked the friendly, very personal style of writing. I see why other reviewers said it felt like having a conversation with a (similarly obsessed) friend. Reading this made me that much more impatient for Deathly Hallows!!!

Someone has done his homework! by R. King
I thought I had studied the Harry Potter books, but the author of this book has really done his homework. The book addresses predictions for Book 7, important questions that must be answered in this last book, set-ups from previous books in the series that must pay off in Book 7, and the all-important issue of whether Snape is good or evil. CasaBianca supports all of his predictions and theories with evidence culled from the Harry Potter books themselves, and published interviews with JKR. He freely admits that some of his theories are going to be wrong, but you have to concede that they all make sense.

The book is written in a very conversational tone; it’s kind of like having an animated discussion about Book 7 with an old friend over a butterbeer. A very enjoyable read.

Excellent speculation for HP fans by ellen
If you are like me, having read books again to glean hints from previous HP books to see how it all ends, this is an exciting book. Louis CasaBianca has systematically gone through and has formed speculative answers how our favorites end up.

I simply do not want the series to end, and I am no kid. Hallows looks to be a violent scary book. In a perfect world, good conquers evil, but I guess in the real world the balance doesn’t fall that way. This book gives predictions of what the clues from Book 1 on have to say.

While this book doesn’t calm fears about what Rowling will do to our favorite Hogwart friends, it does give an educated theory on what will happen in Hallows.

Worth cost of the book.
