Fandom of Magical Proportions by K. A. Hohman
Pleasant read for non-fan. No great insights. Buy if you want it for your collection.
I’m not alone by Magus Dethen
A friend of mine recommend this book, the reason? For every movie and book release of Harry Potter I went to I dressed as Professor Severus Snape. I have even worn the costume to comic cons (being one of the few there from the books). With this book I have learned that there are other people who are as die hard as I am. The author really got me interested in going to one of these symposiums and going further into this fandom.

Excellent Book on Harry Potter! by G. Pyne
Ten years ago, my father sent me Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone with a note that said “Since you like Roald Dahl, you might like this…” Ten years later, I found myself donning a rather crazy rock n’ roll wig to play Sirius Black in the fan film The Marauders’ Worst Memory, directed by the author of this amazing book. As evidenced from this book, Erin Pyne lives and breathes Harry Potter; however, the true acclaim for this book lies in her ability to translate that excitement to the reader. If you are a fan of Harry Potter, Erin taps into every great moment you have experienced throughout the ten year odyssey of the Harry Potter books, enabling you to relive those moments and guaranteeing to put a smile on your face. If you are not a fan, you just might to pick up A Fandom of Magical Proportions to see what you’ve been missing…
Made Me Proud to Love Harry! by Julie-Rae Mandell
Engaging, easy to read, and informative! I’ve loved the Potter books since Sorcerer’s Stone was first published, but I never knew how vast the reach of this fantastical world has been. Ms. Pyne takes us on a fascinating journey through amateur authors, wizard rock bands, and enormous gatherings of thousands of fans from all over the world! No matter how deep into the Potter fandom you are, there’s something in the book that will surprise you. Potter fans, as a group, have taken this simple story and expanded it into something wondrous, and I’ve never been more proud to be a fan of the Potter series as I am right now.
