SS Featured Writer Lovely Lady
I was really happy to see this long-awaited book finally arrive at my doorstep. I must say, however, that I was a bit disappointed at its small size and the speed (less than an hour) with which I read the book from cover to cover. After all, this is JKR we're talking about, we are used to huge volumes, and a book like this can only leave us thirsting for more, right?
But all that aside, I loved all 5 of these stories, but my favorite was the Wizard and the Hopping Pot because this story teaches us how important it is for us to be kind to each other and take care to help one another. That is a very valuable lesson for all of us, I think, especially in this day and age. You never know when you might need some help from someone, too!
I loved the commentary by Dumbledore. It really lent a lot to the stories and made them that much more interesting and enjoyable, besides bringing back to mind some of our memories of the HP series. I am really happy that these commentaries included in the book. After reading these you almost feel like you know the great man personally!
I will buy anything that JKR writes and while this was a small book, it was still satisfying and fun.
