[Mandy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I had a little difficulty with it when I realized it was written before the books were all finished so sadly some characters were left out, but it is written by two young sisters and their work is impressive for those of a young age and it is still informative. Good for young Harry potter fans.

Written by a couple of school girls in the Dallas area, this book talks about many of the character names in the Harry Potter series, and the meanings behind them. Very nice book, quickly read, and a wonderful addition to your Harry Potter collection.
