Title: What's the big deal?
Product review: Personally, I don't see what everyone's so excited about. While there's nothing better than learning more about the facts and myths behind Harry Potter, it seems to me like David Colbert threw this book together in an awfully big hurry. Subjects like alchemy (ie, the making of the sorcerer's stone) and divination are discussed in much less detail than they could be, while much of the book is made up of filler--such as a three-page(!) quotation from "The Sword in the Stone." And why Colbert chose to frame the book a series of rather contrived questions is a mystery to me. Did I ask "Which is the least likely magical creature?" or "Which creature doesn't know when to say goodbye?" No, I didn't. Personally, I'm looking hoping for something better in the next of what's likely to be a series of books similar to this one.
