Tag: Wizarding World Books Reviews

This comprehensive tome examines every aspect of the Hogwarts curriculum, from class descriptions and exam questions to potion ingredients and the magical world’s perspective on Muggle history. Certain to make reading (or re-reading) the Harry Potter series that much more intriguing, this book explores the full breadth of instruction at Hogwarts, as well as the fine details of each class, from each class syllabus to final exams.

Here we are again talking about another book from the Wizarding world.

This book talks in depth look into the Hogwarts classes as well as the extracurriculars at Hogwarts and the Non-course subject offered at Hogwarts. 

To be very honest here I didn’t have a lot of expectations for this book, because I thought it would be a heavy text book type of book like the once you have to read at High School which no one really finished. But after reading this book I gotta say that it was much more interesting and enjoyable than what I thought it would be.

This book gives us history of every class and activity offered at Hogwarts but also the aspect of depending of what classes you choose at Hogwarts controls what career you can have after you finish Hogwarts.

I gotta say reading this book was like preparing to go to Hogwarts for the first time as a student. 

Some classes and extracurriculars had more information and backstory than some other once. But at the same time if you are a huge wizarding world geek as myself then you should read this book as well because it gives you more knowledge and information about Hogwarts and why it does offer the classes and extracurriculars as it does. 

This book also mentions other popular magic schools around the world other than Hogwarts of course and how all of those magic schools around the world tries to have intersected activities occasionally. Which for me was super fun to read about as well, because it extends the wizarding world in a way and it isn’t just the Hogwarts bubble.

The writing style in this book is very text-book like which at times is very heavy and I personally needed to take breaks often while reading this book. While reading this book you will easy notice that it is very clear that it wasn’t written by J.K Rowling because it doesn’t have the same vibe as the original Harry Potter books. But rather it is a book which builds onto the Wizarding world which of course J.K Rowling has created for humanity.

I gotta say that after reading this book, I got into a little reading-slump because of the heavy text-book like writing style of this book. And looking back now, reading this book in less than 24hours might not have been the greatest idea because of the writing style.

I Give This Book 3 / 5

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

“The Tales of Beedle the Bard” contains five richly diverse fairy tales, each with its own magical character, that will variously bring delight, laughter and the thrill of mortal peril. Additional notes for each story penned by Professor Albus Dumbledore will be enjoyed by Muggles and wizards alike, as the Professor muses on the morals illuminated by the tales, and reveals snippets of information about life at Hogwarts.

This book is another amazing book from the Wizarding World which for sure is an amazing addition to your bookshelf. 

This book is very short but of course it is full with fun little satires from the Wizarding World. There are 5 children stories in this book which every wizards have read to their children for decades. 

All of these stories which are presented to us gives the biggest Wizarding World vibes. Maybe not the same vibe as the original Harry Potter books but you can still feel like these stories are very heavily linked to the Wizarding World which I personally loved it.

Each of these short stories if you will tells us a different life moral like don’t lie, be brave, help people etc. 

The writing style here is amazing and it totally feels like it was written by someone in the Wizarding World and that the notes in this book also feels like they were written by Albus Dumbledore. Which really made me love this book even more because you can truly see that amount of effort put into this book. 

I Give Play 5 / 5

Professor Albus Dumbledore knows the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald is moving to seize control of the wizarding world. Unable to stop him alone, he entrusts Magizoologist Newt Scamander to lead an intrepid team of wizards, witches, and one brave Muggle baker on a dangerous mission, where they encounter old and new beasts and clash with Grindelwald’s growing legion of followers. But with the stakes so high, how long can Dumbledore remain on the sidelines?

Yet again another fantastic book from the Wizarding World which is also the Original Screenplay for the movie Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore which of course I’ve watched in the cinema when it first came out. 

The original scripts for these movies which were turned also to books are very well written and they really suck you into the Wizarding World again. Maybe not the same way the Harry Potter books did but you can still feel the child inside of you rising with joy while you read this book. From the way it was written you can really feel like it was written by no other than J.K Rowling which I personally completely love. 

This book leaves things pretty open because Grindelwald losses but he is still out there somewhere and we don’t know quite what happens to him. I personally would love nothing more than to get more books happening in the Wizarding World just to know what happened with Grindelwald but also other things. 

This third book is kind of different from book 2 and 1 because the first 2 books focuses more of fast action but this book is slower and we get to look better at the characters instead of focusing the attention on the action. 

The characters here are getting better and better. This fact makes me want to read more about them like what other events they been involved in, about their lives etc. 

In this book we also get additional commentary from the actors but also from the movie producers who had worked on the movie. And these additional commentary gives us some interesting facts and we also get some very good illustrations on how different scenes are supposed to look in the movie. 

I Give This Book 5 / 5

A copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them resides on almost every wizarding household in the country. Now, for a limited period only, Muggles too have the chance to discover where the Quintaped lives, what the Puffskein eats, and why it is best not to leave milk out for a Knarl. Proceeds from the sale of this book will go to improving and saving the lives of children around the world, which means that the dollars and Galleons you exchange for it will do magic beyond the powers of any wizard. If you feel that this is insufficient reason to part with your money, I can only hope most sincerel that passing wizards feel more charitable if they ever see you being attacked by a Manticore.

Yet again another amazing book from the Wizarding World, to be honest here I wanted to read this book ever since I’ve read the entire Harry Potter series.

This book is an awesome bonus book for fans of the Wizarding World because it gives us an amazing insight of all the amazing creatures from the Wizarding World which will make the entire universe bigger and will give you more knowledge about all the animals.

The entire in this book was brilliant but the rest of this book was less fun but it still was amazing. To be fully honest here this book would be much better if we got illustration of every creature which this book talked about rather than just some of the animals which made me a little bit disappointed in this book.

But this book needs to get points for being simple but still very fun and enjoyable no matter if you are an adult, teenager or a child you will still have amazing time reading this book. 

The writing style here was simple but still very good. Of course it wasn’t on the level with the Harry Potter books but the writing style in this book was still amazing. 

This book felt like it was written by no other than Newt Scamander because it felt so personal to the character and we really could feel the love which Newt Scamander had towards all animals. 

Every animal came with descriptions of their good and bad side but also what you should keep in mind when you dealing with each animal.

Reading this book felt like you were in Hogwarts and you were getting a very interesting lesson about each of the animals in the Wizarding World rather than reading a book. 

I Give This Book 4 / 5

If you have ever asked yourself where the Golden Snitch came from, how the Bludgers came into existence, or why the Wigtown Wanderers have pictures of meat cleavers on their robes, you need QUIDDITCH THROUGH THE AGES. This invaluable volume is consulted by young Quidditch fans on an almost daily basis.

To be fully honest with you here I think that this book was the weakest book in the written in the Wizarding world yet. But of course it comes from somehow who isn’t a fan of Quidditch. But if you are a fan of Quidditch you will pretty much enjoy it much more than I did. 

This book gives us the history of Quidditch and how it changed throughout the time and how things were added to it. Which really brings much more dept to the Wizarding World. 

Overall this book was a fun, enjoyable and interesting read but still when you compare this book to other books in this series you will notice that this book is the weakest book in this series.

There were a lot of effort put by J.K. Rowling to make this book funny which wasn’t funny because it was way too forced to actually be funny. 

The writing style was okay. You can easily tell that this book was meant for children which is still fine for me.

I Give This Book 3 / 5

It was always difficult being Harry Potter, and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband, and a father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son, Albus, must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.

Another great book from the Wizarding Word. Even thou it isn’t a book book and instead it is a Play which was first shown in 2016 in London. But it is still amazing and incredible as the rest of the Harry Potter universe books.

The plot wasn’t the greatest thing I’ve seen because there were a lots of anticipation build which would lead to nothing. So that’s what made me most disappointed in this book but this book had the biggest Harry Potter vibe to it because it was about friendship, adventure, the battle between good and evil and it was also about the fact that the people you expect less to be non your side might in fact have been on your side from the beginning.

The main characters of this book weren’t Harry, Ron and Hermione but rather Albus Severus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy. But of course we get a lots of Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Draco in this book but they aren’t in the spotlight of this book.  

We also got some Severus Snape and Professor McGonagall in it which made so fucking glad to see them. And it defeilty reminded me why Severus Snape is my all time favourite character in the Wizarding World.

Albus Severus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy weren’t the same amazing characters as Harry, Ron and Hermione but I still liked them because Albus Severus Potter was just like Harry in a way and Scorpius Malfoy was a much kinder version of Draco, but we all know that Draco is the OG here.

I felt like Albus Severus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy would be so much better characters if they were given more time for us to like them but also more time to develop themselves as independent characters rather than the kids to Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy.

This book was cute, sweet, fun and it reminded me why I love Harry Potter books so much as I do but it wasn’t the same as 7 original books. Because it had the Harry Potter vibe to it but it leaked the adventure, danger, fun, discovering yourself part about it as the 7 original books had for me at least. This book had the charm of the original books but it didn’t have the strength to the original books.

Of course this book is a script of the play so it didn’t have the same aspects as the original books so it can’t be compared with them in a way. But after reading this book it made want to see that play in real life for some reason. 

I Give This Book 4 / 5

At the end of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald was captured in New York with the help of Newt Scamander. But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escapes custody and sets about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore enlists Newt, his former Hogwarts student, who agrees to help once again, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.

This is the second book in the Fantastic Beasts book series which are the original screenplay from the movies. 

In this book we get introduced to French Ministry of Magic and new fantastic animals from the Wizarding World which makes me love this book even more.

The characters here are so fucking awesome, and so well done and presented to us. But that’s just the thing with the Harry Potter universe because every character in this universe are so well written that they feel like real people who I wouldn’t have any problem being best friends with.

The fact that we keep learning more and more about Newt Scamander, Jacob Kowalski and Gellert Grindelwald makes me love this book and this series so much more. And the more I read and learn more about the trio I just can’t help it but love them more and more. And I find myself relating more and more to Newt Scamander after watching and reading the Fantastic Beasts series. 

I gotta be honest and confess that Gellert Grindelwald might be on my top ranking of favourite characters from Harry Potter universe along side Severus Snape. I think that Severus Snape and Gellert Grindelwald are both underrated characters in the Wizarding world. It might be an unpopular opinion but now you know it.

The twist with Credence is so good, that it made me give more points to this book and the whole series. But of course you could see the twist before it happened when the tale with Phoenix was mentioned. 

The writing is the original screenplay so I’m not gonna talk about it because I’m not a screen writer and I don’t know how to review them. 

The plot was fucking awesome, and it was sort of like being a part of this story because you were following the characters so well. 

There are couple of inconsistencies in this book and the whole Fantastic Beasts series but I love the Wizarding wording so of course it won’t bring it down for me. 

And we finally get some scenes from Hogwarts while Dumbledore was still a professor and not the headmaster. And the fact that we learn more about Dumbledore is just brilliant. 

I give this book 5 / 5

When Magizoologist Newt Scamander arrives in New York, he intends his stay to be just a brief stopover. However, when his magical case is misplaced and some of Newt’s fantastic beasts escape, it spells trouble for everyone. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them marks the screenwriting debut of J.K. Rowling, author of the beloved and internationally bestselling Harry Potter books. Featuring a cast of remarkable characters, this is epic, adventure-packed storytelling at its very best.

We been waiting for a long time for new Harry Potter books and finally they are here. Of course this is a screenplay of the movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them but it was still super fun to read it. Ive watched the movie when it first came out and since that time I forgot things which have happened in it and this book was a good reminder of what have happened. 

This book was super fun to read and it was super interesting and enjoyable as well. I couldn’t stop reading it because it was so interesting and so fun to read it.

Of course we can’t talk much about the writing style and the way it was written because it is a screenplay book of a movie so there are some limitations on how this book can be written. But I’ve still enjoyed it and I had fun reading it.

This book as well as the movie brings the Harry Potter universe to more adult level than the original 7 books of the Harry Potter series. And I loved it. And the fact that we learn more about characters and events before Harry Potter have been born brings more to universe and it makes it feel more real. 

The characters here or so brilliant and awesome. We learn more about important characters in the Harry Potter universe like Newt Scamander, Credence Barebone, Gellert Grindelwald and many more. By learning more about the characters the Harry Potter world becomes so much real and so much interesting.

The fact that the Harry Potter world expends and grows with the readers makes this series so unique.

The friendship between Newt Scamander and Jacob Kowalski reminds me of the friendship between Ron and Harry but also in a way the friendship between Newt and Jacob is unique because as we all know Newt is a wizard and Jacob is a mugle.

The fact that we get introduced to more creatures from the Harry Potter world really makes this books as well as the movie so much more unique because it really shows us that the wizarding world is so much bigger than we thought when the first Harry Potter book came out.

I give this book 5 / 5

It’s no longer safe for Harry at Hogwarts, so he and his best friends, Ron and Hermione, are on the run. Professor Dumbledore has given them clues about what they need to do to defeat the dark wizard, Lord Voldemort, once and for all, but it’s up to them to figure out what these hints and suggestions really mean. Their cross-country odyssey has them searching desperately for the answers, while evading capture or death at every turn. At the same time, their friendship, fortitude, and sense of right and wrong are tested in ways they never could have imagined. The ultimate battle between good and evil that closes out this final chapter of the epic series takes place where Harry’s Wizarding life began: at Hogwarts. The satisfying conclusion offers shocking last-minute twists, incredible acts of courage, powerful new forms of magic, and the resolution of many mysteries. Above all, this intense, cathartic book serves as a clear statement of the message at the heart of the Harry Potter series: that choice matters much more than destiny, and that love will always triumph over death

And yet again we are talking about an amazing Harry Potter book and it really hurts to say that this is the last book in the series. 

This book gave the series the ending which it deserved. Of course the ending is said because there are some very popular characters among the fans of this series who die. But this book really gives the the satisfaction that it is a fucking good end to a series which is so amazing as it possible gets. 

And the fact that we learn much more about Severus Snape in this book was what I’ve been waiting for since the first book in this series. And by learning more about him we see that he had much more impact on the whole series than we first thought. Which really made my whole day because as some of you might know he is my all time favourite character from the whole series. 

We also learned more about Dumbledore which was the best thing which possibly could happen because we learned that Dumbledore wasn’t really the all-good character and it changed my opinion about him. I went from liking him to just being “fuck this guy”. And it was because he was raising Harry Potter and teaching him to just wanting to kill him at the proper moment for the greater good. No one in their right mind would do that because how could you do that to a 17 year old child?

The writing style is really the best because as you read the book you can see everything which is described in this book in your head. Which really takes a brilliant author to make it happen. 

In this book there is a much more action than it was in the previous books in this series which I truly liked because you really couldn’t stop reading and once you started to read you just will not be able to stop. 

The only thing which pissed me off in this book was that some of the characters which I truly loved have been killed off. And that’s the only thing which I didn’t like about this book. 

After reading this book I’m kind of bipolar on it because im sad that the series is done but at the same time I’m glad that it is the last book because it was an amazing adding to Harry Potter series. 

I give this book 5 / 5
