1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed., 11 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Reading the blurb I really thought the book would offer a lot more than it actually did. looking at it from the outside it looks very good - a nice thick book promising a lot, but you open it up and see the large, spaced out print. And then you start reading, and you realise that it's not really what you were expecting. The information it gives you is either very obscure, which does not help you to understand the book as it is probably not what the author meant, not relevant, or just extremely mediocre facts you probably either already know, or don't want or need to know. I think I knew more than this book told me by discussing with some people on a message board, and I was very cynical and critical of what this book was telling me. I expected more information on tradition which influenced Harry Potter, but there was not much there. A serious waste of money and time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother with this book, 24 Feb 2002
By A Customer
On the surface this should be a good book. However Elizabeth Schafer draws conclusions about certain areas of Harry Potter that make me think she hasn't even read the books e.g. her ideas on what Red Caps are, when it is fully explained in both the "Prisoner of Azkaban" and "Fantastic Beasts and where to find them". Others are so obvious they're laughable e.g. the similarities between "Lucius" and "Lucifer". My advice is that if you want to know more about the background to Harry Potter, buy "The Magical World of Harry Potter". You get better information and more thought out information for a lot less money.
