I though that it was great and that it had that old world feel that made you wonder if they really had just come out of her head and not from the world itself! The first thing that I thought was how skinny it is, because I was so used to HP books being like bricks it was kind of a shock. I think I spent a good few minutes just starng at the cover in awe. Then I was torn between reading in the car and reading at home, I decided that I couldn't wait and propped it open to begin to read.

My favorite story would have to Babbity Rabbity and her Cackling Stump because to me it sounds like the most classic of the tales. But all of them were great and the Warlock's Hairy Heart adds a nice break from all of the whimsy that surrounds the pages.

One of the coolest parts was the way that the notes and introduction were written (as mentioned above) The way it was done made in seem as though Jo has just asked Hermione for the translation and asked McGonagall for the notes from Dumbledore's archive. The notes were nice and I like the way that she (as Dumbledore, I think) references the Series as "books about the life of Harry Potter", or something like that.

I have to agree about the pantomime, I burst out laughing at the time. Too bad that the great showdown in Book 7 didn't go along more like that!

All in all this book left me craving for much more and I was so sad when I turned the last page and saw the cover of the book. It has gone by too fast! I know that I will carry this book everywhere I go from now on.
