Customer Reviews

loved it

I thought this book was great. The only problem I had with it was that some evidence supplied for the theories had been confirmed or unconfirmed at the time of printing so the theory was proved or disproved already. Maybe a bit extra proofreading for the next one. Other than that it was fantastic

really does make u go, "hmmm......."

even though the title, especially the part "by fans for fans" might make you think these people who brought this book together are just too HP crazy, and yes, it can get old pretty quickly bcos the 6th hp book is abt 2 be released soon anyway.....Its still interesting to read other people's perspectives on the harry potter books and possible suggestions/theories they have come up with. Its also amazing how they were able to pick up clues and fit them all together to get an understanding of the subtle messages JKR was hiding. I thought this book was very clever and also creative; how ordinary people who love harry potter can think up all those ideas, research some evidence to support the idea, and eventually put it into a book to be published. Some of the questions (e.g. in what ways are harry and neville related in terms of the children of the prophecy?)i have long been wondering ever since i have finished reading all hp books up to #5. This book was very entertaining and will (possibly) make you see the hp books in a new way. It certainly made me more alert and aware whenever i start re-reading the HP books and in the future, for the 6th & 7th books, i will be paying attention even more. bcause even small details/events can be important clues, and the more you understand the hp books, the more enjoyable it is.

Magical

I just got this book for Christmas, and I've fallen in love with it. The authors are members of the Mugglenet forums, who have used their wealth of HP knowledge to compose essays especially for this book. The essays run the gamut from "Who is the Half-blood Prince?" to "Is Percy just a stupid git?" and the writers range in age from 8 to 40+. Even the illustrations are done by fans, and beautifully. Someone not as obsessed as myself might be a little overwhelmed (some essays contain VERY detailed analysis) but you should still enjoy it. And if you're a part-time fan looking to go full-time, this is the book for you!

Excellent

Just received this book and have read a lot of it-- it's a GREAT read for those awaiting the sixth Harry Potter book. It brings up many new ideas, and shows a reader how to come up with theories and hypotheses of their own. It's a great learning tool and provokes thought, it gives insight and entertainment. I highly suggest this book. If you are a fan of MuggleNet and it's forums-- you will love this book! It's written by fans for fans, which makes it even easier to relate.

Not Just for 9-12 Year-Olds

The author of previous HP clue books has chosen to be the editor of this new book of essays by HP fans of all ages and descriptions. The essays are as varied as their authors and will be an interesting read for adult HP fans as well as the 9-12 age group. It is a book to be read slowly and savoured. It is a fun and thought-provoking read. Sometimes you will say to yourself "Hmmm, I never thought about that. He/She could be right." You will enjoy having this book to read while waiting for HP Book 6. Thanks Wizarding World Press.
