While the Harry Potter series may follow the journey of the Boy Who Lived, if you want to know the whole story, keep your eyes fixed on Severus Snape. This greasy-haired, grumpy genius, one of J.K. Rowling’s most enduring gifts to English literature, is the archetypal ill-tempered demanding, acerbic, and impossible to ignore. Over the span of seven novels, Snape’s remarkable role in the series can be hard to Where do his true allegiances lie? Can a former Death Eater change his spots? Why does he seem to loathe the boy he’s pledged to protect?

As some of you might know, my all time favorite character from the wizarding world universe is no other than Severus Snape. So when I found out that this book exists of course I needed to read it ASAP. And now I did.

Its been a while since ive read any books from the wizzarding world so I’m glad that there are more books coming from this universe and that I picked up this book.

I personally don’t have any strong feelings about this book, because I didn’t like it nor did I dislike it. I’m glad that I’ve read this book but I’m very neutral about this book after reading this book.

To be very honest this book doesn’t bring anything new to the universe, as all of those things which this book mentions have already been found out and talked about on Harry Potter Theory YouTube channel which by the way is incredible and I recommend watch the hell out of it, if you are like me a huge wizarding world nerd.

This book talks about Severus Snape in all 7 movies and the theater play which was published back in 2016 if I’m not fully mistaken. 

When it comes to the 7 movies this book presents us with quotes from Severus Snape or Harry, Hermonie and Ron or other students or teachers / characters talking about Severus Snape which may give us a better picture of who truly Severus Snape is behind all the secrets and Dumbledore’s schemes.

However this book is very objective, because its not canon or anything close to being the Wizzarding world official statement of who Severus Snape really is. And because of this book being objective I found myself not agreeing with handful of things which the author stated in this book. 

There were a lot of moments during reading this book where I felt that this book was dragging for way too long that it needed to. Because it would spend pages talking about a particular scene from the movies which really didn’t matter in the bigger picture. Like with the Boggart scene where no one talked about Severus Snape nor did he be present during it. 

There was also times where the author talked about J.K Rowling being homophobic because of what she said in interviews or tweeted on twitter. Which really made me want to beat the shit of the author of this book. Because just because someone doesn’t agree with the woke propaganda about sex and gender doesn’t mean they are homophobic or racist.  

The writing style here wasn’t the greatest because it felt like it was a university text book rather than a book based on a fantasy book series. Which really didn’t make me like this book more.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
