What a fabulous book - and please indulge me in an ex book-buyers delight when I say that the whole feel and look and weight of the book itself is perfect....
and the BINDING!! It's a lovely handful of book.
It's also a lovely read. Essentially, a travelog of Harry Potter-inspired places and items around Britain with Steve's fun and honest commentary as he searches and re-searches things Harry Potter in the UK.
I think it would appeal a great deal to non-UK residents to see the sorts of areas and building and so on that might have inspired the books' background.
For those of us for whom these places are more everyday and familiar, it is a lovely reminder of the fun of discovering the Wizarding World and learning to look for the weird and wonderful amongst the everyday. There are loads of photos and the Scottish section is horribly nostalgic and makes me want to cry a lot for the fact of not being there and living amongst those hills any more. I had a fabulous adventure to take photos of the area where Hogwarts is supposedly sort of situated and I'm so glad to be reading someone else's madness on a tour of Harry Potter.
