4.0 out of 5 stars Warning, July 10 2004

This review is from: Harry Potter Schoolbooks: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them / Quidditch Through the Ages (Hardcover)

If your children are Harry Potter fans and read these books the odds are very good that they will throw quotes and 'facts' from these books at you at every opportunity.

These books are very short and filled with information that fills in and enhances the novels of the Harry Potter series. I have found that the information within them rounds out Rowlings magical universe.

If you are looking for a novel however these are not for you. They are reference books describing some of the magical creatures in the Harry Potter series or explaining the origns and rules of Quiddich. Good easy fun.

I would also like to add that these books would be ideal for a child who does not like to read but likes the H.P movies. They just might entice the non reader to pick up the H.P novels.

This is a great "While you wait for book 6" collection. It has the spirit of the Harry Potter books.

The writing is as good as the harry potter books. but the content is not.

For breaif looks into the history of the Harry Potter boos they are great. Particularly for the history of monsters. Hoever id you are looking for a solid READ this is not the book collection for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent supplements to the Harry Potter books, Jun 30 2004

This review is from: Harry Potter Schoolbooks: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them / Quidditch Through the Ages (Hardcover)

I haven't even finished the books yet, but I am already very much delighted by them. Each book has a forward by Albus Dumbledore, and "Fantastic Beasts" is supposed to be a replica of Harry Potter's text book, so it has random markings and sides notes throughout the book which I thought was cute. Also makes a great read while you're waiting for the 6th book. Lastly, the profits of these books go to UK's Comic Relief to help impoverished children around the world, so it's for a good cause too!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great companion to the set.
A great companion set for any Harry Potter library. This edition has the hard-cover sleeve and the great Marie GrandPre illustrations also.
