Granted a £1.99 ebook cannot provide such content but I would be happy to pay 10 x that amount for a true paper back version of something more fleshy. I suppose what I was hoping for was a more thorough guide to Hogwarts – something along the lines of Hermione s favourite tome – Howarts: A History The same with the house ghosts, their backstorys in detail would have been a great addition as would more details on the house founders and headmasters. įor example, whilst there is detail dedicated to the Hufflepuff common room, the other house rooms have been left out – granted fans have knowledge of them through the original books but a guide to Hogwarts really needs all four. It’s name is perfect, however, it does feel rather incomplete being only 8 chapters long and there’s a feeling there would be plenty more to really make this an amazing book. Potter heads may be dissapointed at the fact there is apparently nothing new here, the contents already having been shared on the Harry Potter encyclopedia type website Pottermore.įans who are a little rusty or who (myself included) have found Pottermore difficult to navigate will enjoy the addition to the Potter canon. įocusing on a dual purpose of providing the history of Hogwarts in bits and pieces it also offers insights from J K Rowling herself on plot development, inspiration and unused characters. Full of tantalising trivia, Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unreliable Guide is a fascinating short story book for any Potter fan.
