Description

Pottermore Presents is a collection of J.K. Rowling's writing taken from the Pottermore archives: short reads originally featured on pottermore.com with some exclusive new additions. These eBooks, with writing curated by Pottermore, will take you beyond the Harry Potter stories as J.K. Rowling reveals her inspiration, intricate details of characters' lives and surprises from the wizarding world. The Hogwarts Collection gathers together three Pottermore Presents volumes. Rediscover the stories of Remus Lupin and Minerva McGonagall in Heroism, Hardship and Dangerous Hobbies; delve into Horace Slughorn's early years in Power, Politics and Pesky Poltergeists; and venture into the Hogwarts grounds in Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unreliable Guide.

I enjoy getting lost in the magical world of Hogwarts. The images created and the situations described allow the reader to believe in the unbelievable.

A fun supplement to the Harry Potter books. These were published with proceeds going to different charities. They read like textbooks (especially the Quidditch one), but in an absolutely fun way.

Quidditch Through the Ages
Somehow I'd never read this before now. An entertaining hour's read with a few "I see what you did there" moments.

Had never read this one before now either. Not as entertaining as Quidditch Through the Ages for me.

The Tales of Beedle the Bard

 one was a reread. The best part about these is absolutely Dumbledore's commentary on each of the tales. I think "The Tale of the Three Brothers" is by far the best (but that could be because that's the one that's actually part of the HP story). I enjoyed "The Fountain of Fair Fortune" too, and "The Warlock's Hairy Heart" actually made me say, "Yikes" out loud at the end.

I was hoping this would be more informative than it was. Still a good read for any Harry Potter fan though. 4 out of 5 stars.
