Customer Rating:
Summary: Informative
Comment: This book was fairly informative and answered as well as brought up numerous questions. Of course, some of these answers can be found off the internet, this book provides historical references which greatly aid in furthering the knowledge of the entire Harry Potter Series.
I hope that a newer and even more updated version becomes available so that some other questions could be answered.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Handy for any mythological references
Comment: There are so many Harry Potter books out there that love nothing more than to dig ridiculously deep into the story and make things up. This book is refreshing in that it would rather explore the possible legends that may have inspired bits and pieces of Rowling's work (without pretending to predct anything). It's educational, simple, and well-researched.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Disappointed
Comment: After checking this book out from the library I am very glad that I did not waste my money on this book. This may be a decent guide book for those who have not read any others are are looking for a very basic introduction to the wonderful writing of J.K. Rowling. I had to force myself to read through the book to come across information that I had not read in other guide books or online. Fortunately, there was one section that triggered something and that was the comparison of Harry Joseph Campbell's "Hero With a Thousand Faces." However, the section could have been much more analytical than it was. Hopefully there is more analysis in the more recent version.
