I’m not sure if one can borrow an e-book, but I really don’t think it necessary to purchase these books. Dumbledore knows that life can pass you by while you are clinging on to a wish that can never be - or ought never to be - fulfilled.” Overall: ★★★★★īecause it gave me the history of Hogwarts that I wanted, albeit a brief one.
“…there comes a point when holding on to your dreams becomes unhelpful and even unhealthy. I also liked what Rowling had to say about the Mirror of Erised and holding on to dreams for too long: I found the passage on the Gryffindor sword most interesting because of the allusion to Excalibur, and also the Sorting Hat chapter because it proves my theory (kind of) that when the Hat can’t decide, it places you where you want to go. This e-book covers a bunch of things: King’s Cross Station and whether there are other platforms there, why a train is used to transport the students the Sorting Hat and whether it has ever made mistakes in placing students and even castle residents like Sir Cadogan and objects like the Marauder’s Map. I think I’d just reread the fourth book in the series for the nth time and wanted to read Hogwarts: A History, but since that book doesn’t exist in our world, I tried to find the next best thing and so bought Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unreliable Guide. Of the three, this one is my favorite and the one that drove me to purchase the e-books. Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unreliable Guide They also show how much thought and research Rowling had put into the series to create a rich and believable world. Even if you’re a fan who isn’t interested in the supplemental texts and theories about the Harry Potter series (as I was), you’ll get a kick out of reading these e-books. These e-books are short, quick reads, and the content will appeal to fans who, like me, want to know more about Rowling’s wizarding world. Though these collections do not contain stories, my craving were satiated by the short pieces within them that provided facts about beings, individuals, places, and occurrences at Hogwarts and in the wizarding world. I was driven to these e-books by my craving for more stories set in the Rowling’s wizarding world. (I’d still prefer a physical copy of them, though.) However, this year I succumbed to my curiousity and purchased all three e-books because of the convenience of having all that content in one place and not having to click around on a website to find it. Last year, I didn’t see the point in purchasing these e-books since their content were (probably are) available for free on Pottermore. Although I was curious about these e-books, I held out for as long as I could on purchasing them in hopes that physical copies would be printed and available at my library. Rowling had written about Hogwarts and the wizarding world and its people. Last year, Pottermore collected and published in 3 separate e-books the supplemental texts J.K.
