The Sorcerer Companion A Guide to the Magical World of Harry Potter Allan Zola Kronzek Books

Having lots of fun with this...it isn't meant to be read cover to cover (it's more like a dictionary/encyclopedia) but you can, and I am. Lots of interesting facts and background on all the different things in the book and how they relate to the book/movie series. The next time you see the "Boogyman" ask him about his cousin the Boggart who just may be hiding in your closet if you've been unkind to their friend the Brownie.

The Sorcerer Companion A Guide to the Magical World of Harry Potter Allan Zola Kronzek Books Reviews

It wasn't quite what I thought it was. However, that's my problem as I probably misread the ad. Nice book though.
Fulfilling and more than adequate compendium to conjure up and dissect the complex HP world. Sorely needs an update to complement
the subsequent volumes.
Really neat book that sort of answers your questions about what certain things are in the HP world according to JK Rowling and a little bit of real world history related to Magic.
While this book does offer a lot of good source material on subjects touched upon in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potters novels (one through four, at the time this book was written), it is by no means an indispensable addition to the Pottermaniac's personal library. The references to events and personages in the Harry Potter books are rather haphazard, and in many cases it is apparent that the Potter link is primarily a gimmick designed to sell more books. This is not necessarily a bad thing, though, because there is information in this book I had not encountered elsewhere, and it does reinforce one's impressive appraisal of the fiber of actual legendry that went into the creation of Rowling's novels.

This book offers a concise encyclopedia of magical subjects, creatures, and legends. Much of the material will be familiar to anyone well-read, yet there are aspects to some of even the most familiar of legends, such as that of the werewolf or vampire, that I was unaware of; this consisted for the most part of the different ideas held by different cultures. What was evil to a European of the Middle Ages was sometimes a portent of good to an inhabitant of China or India, for example. Perhaps the most interesting items discussed in these pages are the more obscure legends of unfamiliar beings which I had never heard of before and which I had assumed J.K. Rowling had invented e.g., grundylows, kappas, and redcaps.

The authors, a professional magician and his academic daughter, have written a book that can easily be read by laymen in the ways of magic. The concise, far from elaborate discussions of each topic can be easily understood by young readers obsessed with Harry Potter, making it a welcome, interesting, entertainingly informative read that does not so much add to the legendry created by J.K. Rowling as it does highlight the sturdiness of the foundation upon which her magical adventure stories are built.
I bought this for my grandson (10 years old) who is really into Harry Potter. He has read it twice and loves the content.
Not what I expected, it's basically a dictionary of magical terms and ideas. Most of it is only peripherally related to the Harry Potter series.
Not Rowling, so don't expect it. A good compendium of myths, legends and fables from around the globe. Wonder where Rowling got some of the terrifying and bizarre creatures in the Harry Potter series? Here is the bases for some of these creatures.
