However, I would say that this was my least favourite of the three.

It was really good to learn about Slughorn, as well as Peeves, though Slughorn of course turns out to be a much more important character than most people originally thought. The wizarding prison is even more horrific the more you learn about it, honestly, and so is Umbridge (ugh, let’s not deign her with ‘Professor’).

I did, however, like the insight into the magical world’s politics, and I thought that the stories of the Ministers for Magic were amusing. Nice and corrupt* and just a little bit dangerous. To be honest, it seems that the world of magical and Muggle politics isn’t always that far apart. This eBook followers the stories of Horace Slughorn and Professor Umbridge, st-st-stuttering Professor Quirrell, as well as Peeves of course, but also the Ministers for Magic – from the first until now – and the story of the wizarding prison Azkaban. ❤ #2 Short Stories from Hogwarts of Power, Politics and Pesky Poltergeists It could have been taken with more care, but she has tried hard. I may, of course, be wrong here, but I feel like she has tried to create a good analogy. I feel like she is comparing it to any life-impacting illness, even something like depression (although that isn’t necessarily life-long). JKR has gotten into a bit of trouble recently for comparing Remus’ lycanthropy with AIDS, but reading the eBook kind of suggests to me that it isn’t like that.

Of course, my only criticism is that they could have been longer. This was probably my favourite of the three. I feel like JKR addressed a lot of the fan criticism surrounding Lupin, especially, in these mini-series, but it was so interesting getting background on these favourited characters. Minerva McGonagall is a firm favourite, too. Remus Lupin is my favourite Harry Potter character, so I squealed when it turned into his chapter. This was a brilliant first entry to the mini-series. This eBook covers stories of Minerva McGonagall, Remus Lupin, Sybill Trelawney, and Silvanus Kettleburn, the original Care of Magical Creatures Professor. Lots to be had in this post! #1 Short Stories from Hogwarts of Heroism, Hardship and Dangerous Hobbies And… I kind of have a little rant/mini discussion at the end (#sorrynotsorry) if you’d like to see that too. I’m going to be reviewing these as three separate mini-books. They’re a collection of some of the posts which had been released on the original Pottermore website. If you didn’t know, Pottermore Presents is a set of three eBooks of short stories by JK Rowling about the Harry Potter-verse.
