This book is great!In it you will find answers to all the questions about Harry Potter and his world.When you've read it you understand J.K.rowlings books much better.It's information is based on Greek and Latin mythology,and the history of magic. You understand where J.K.Rowling got the names of people,places etc.It's very interesting and fascinating and I recomend you bought it for a present or for yourself.I'm a 13 year old and I enjoyed very much.My mother enjoyed it equaly so it's for children and adults.Enjoy it!!!!

I have seen this book in stores many times but held back from buying it because it is aimed specifically at children, and I suspected it may be basic or even boring. I have just finished reading it and I was completely wrong! It is packed with fascinating and informative background information on characters, spells and events from the books, and, crucially, it inspired me to search for more books on Greek mythology and the history of witchcraft.

I enjoyed this book in one sitting. It tells everything you need to know about Harry Potters' world and covers all four books to date. From the real Alchemists and Nicolas Flamel to where readers believe the word 'Quidditch' originates. It also answers some of the questions you may have asked yourself "If Dumbledore is so powerful, shouldn't he fight Voldemort?" and "Why are goblins such good bankers?". Also gives a great insight into some of those wonderful names, like Draco Malfroy, "Snake Bad Faith", no wonder he is a Slytherin! Wrote in an easy to read format and style. It is designed like an encyclopedia, full of Harry Potter knowledge and the truth and legend behind JK Rowlings imagination. Great for children and adults who want to know more about Harrys world .I will be keeping it to hand when I read more Harry Potter, just to dip into with interest. The only thing that could make this book better is if JK Rowling wrote it! Then we would know the whole truth about Harrys magical world.

This book has everything for Harry Potter fans or people that are just intrested magic. It has loads of fantastical meanings about names and places in Harry Potters world and about real-life spells, the real Nicolas Flamel and best of all wizards. It also gives a short intro into Latin. Magic may not be like how it is in Harry Potter but magic in this world comes from the books we read and this book sertinly has magic in it's pages because you will not want to put it down untill know everything about the boy wizard, Harry Potter.
This book is a MUST-READ for all ages.

Having seen many books based around the Harry Potter series, I was tempted to buy this one, and can say I am amazed at the information I learnt in it! It's extremely easy reading, yet you can learn things about the history behind some of JK Rowling's character names, or some of the spells. Especially interesting is the section on 'Padfoot' and how the black dog is known under different names in folklore depending on which part of the country you're in!Definitely a worth-while purchase while you're waiting for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to be released in the summer!
