Another collectible

This is a set of 2 small books which are quite entertaining for the Harry Potter fan. Keep in mind these are not part of the Harry Potter series, so do not expect the same quality of them.
The only thing I did not like of these books is the front size (small).

Classic books from the Library of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

This is a good book for any Harry Potter fan. The way J.K. Rowlings uses the books to show us more of the world of Harry Potter. The magical creatures, with Ron's notes scribbled in. The information about Quidditch that was never there. This is a really good addition to my Harry Potter collection.

Quiddatch was interesting, Beasts was a bore

Beasts was great for about 10 pages. Then the beasts were detailed and I felt as if I was in a classroom again. Snooze. More illustrations might have helped, and the notes by Harry and Ron were about the best thing in the book. My husband felt the same. Quiddatch was interesting throughout.

The only good thing about this overpriced purchase is that 20% proceeds go to the ComicRelief foundation.

Prof. Snape Wouldn't Have Anything Bad to Say

I believe that these two books were extremely informational. I didn't understand Quidditch entirely until I read Quidditch Through the Ages. Fantastic Beasts and where to find them was so great that i've read it 8 times. Some of the creatures in there are so bizzare! I hope you buy the books it will help you in the long run.

potter rocks!

OMG i love these books!The series itself i've read at least 10 times!Personally i think J.K. Rowling should write most of the books mentioned in the series'The Standard Book of Spells,A History of magic, The Dark Forces:A Guide to Self-Protection etc.' these boooks should definitely be in your purchasing list.

Magical Reading for Muggles and Magic-Folk!

Simply fantastic. My kids can't get enough Harry Potter material. What can I say...neither can I! I purchased this as a package with a couple of other wonderful books: 1. Twilight 2. Nose Pickin' (and 50 Other Ways to Tickle Your Brain!)

Fabulous compared to Extremely Fab.

I'm a really big Harry Potter fan. I enjoyed reading the books, though Quiddich through the ages was a little dull, but i still LOVED reading about all of the creatures in Harry, Ron, and Hermione's world.

I love All the Harry Potter Books!

Both books were really interesting. They didn't take long to read at all. Quidditch Throu... tells how Quidditch began and how it got its name. Fantastic Beasts... gives a detailed description of all the beasts in the Harry Potter Books and some that weren't mentioned. They were both great to read if you've already read the Harry Potter Books 1-4. If you are having doubts as to whether you are going to buy them, don't worry because they have interesting and in some cases funny things written in them. :)

As amazing as everything else JK Rowling does!

I love these books :) They are great, just like everything JK Rowling has done. A great addition to my collection!

A Taste of Hogwarts

I think J.K. Rowling did a fine job with these extra books. It really gave me a something else to grab a hold to in the land of Potter. I loved being able to extend my Potter collection with these fine books. I learned where the snitch originated from and what Harry,Ron, and Hermione talk about during class. A great gift for any Potter Fan!

Great for anyone that is interested in the wizarding world!

*I thought these books were truly great because they really give more insight to the world of Harry Potter- things that would be too tedious to read in the Harry Potter books, but perfect as their own books. I don't think these books were boring at all, especially not with the little bits of comic relief thrown in for good measure. Well done , Rowling, well done.*

Great, i actually loved it.

I have both books from years ago, purchased at different times at book fairs while i was still in either elementary or junior high school (i forget, but it was seriously a LONG time ago). The books were lovely, obviously not as exciting as the series because, well, they are meant to be the students' textbooks. When are textbooks ever so exciting? It was adorable how Harry and Ron (I'm not sure about Hermione) wrote in parts of the books, reflecting their teenage boy-ness haha. You should get it if you want to add to your harry potter collection, I guess, but I loved it to just learn more about everything really. Lastly, there's only so much one person can create out of their imagination so please don't be disappointed when a few paragraphs are given to a creature (or something) instead of a whole chapter. The books are meant for light reading, not full, mind boggling analysis of everything. Pardon my grammar! :)

For Harry Potter Fans

I picked up these books after reading Harry Potter 1-7, and Beedle the Bard, and still having an inkling to read MORE about Harry Potter. Although it is fun, it's not as thrilling as the books, and I suppose you can use it as a reference to the Harry Potter books, when some of the creatures are mentioned, but the descriptions of the creatures are only 1 or 2 paragraphs long, which is disappointing. Considering that these should be "Hogwarts" books, i assumed they would be filled with lots more excting concent and not just scribbles from "harry and ron" A tad disappointing.

It was ok.

The book were in excelent condition obviously. It was fun to read them, but not nearly as much fun as i thought i would, perhaps it was my fault and had my hopes too high after the Deadly Hollows...I think i was craving for more. I would still recommend it though, because it gave another insight to Harry's life.

Love the Harry Potter Series

I purchased these books for my 11 year old son. I asked him for an opinion and he was thrilled. Stating he was very much enjoyed each book. And looks forward to more classics by J.K. Rowlings.

Complete the Collection

Good book. Only get if you are serious about collecting as much as possible on the HP series.

Great, and great quality.

8.5 year old loves it! A great addition for any Harry Potter fan. It's not of the same quality as another Harry Potter book, but it is great if they can't get enough of Harry and have read all the books and seen all the movies!
