Loved it! I am an old lady who got hooked on Harry Potter so I would have something to converse about with a new step-nephew, and I tell you this book sparked huge discussions amongst everyone I know who read it. Great variety of essays.

I found the book to be fairly intersting. It is definitely intented for someone who has read most of the Harry Potter books and understands the plot and characters.
