Great GOF Movie Insights!! 
2005-11-19
This book is the perfect book for HP sleuths and has great insights into the newly released GOF Movie 4. After I just watched the GOF film, I couldn't wait to read this book again and test myself on the hidden character and plot details. I have read many of author Daniel Lawrence's articles on the HP sites and he certainly does his research and knows his facts. This book is great for not only HP fanatics but also new fans who want to learn more about the entire Harry series.
I loved the trivia challenge in this book. The quiz questions are excellent and the explanations are loaded with facts I never knew even existed. This book is up to date and covers all six of the HP books all the movies, including GOF Movie 4. This is the best HP companion piece I've read yet and is a great test to take after you've seen Movie 4.
Awesome Info on GOF MOVIE 4! 
2005-11-18
This book is amazing. The added information and details author Daniel Lawrence has uncovered about GOF Movie 4 is awesome for anyone who is a HP fan or sleuth. Author Daniel Lawrence is probaby recognized as the most knowledgable HP companion writer and now i know why. Each page is loaded with tons of details and insights into Potter characters and facts, especially GOF Movie 4! I loved the trivia challenge questions!
If you need to know everything about Harry, this is the best companion book I have found to assist you. As most HP web sites highly endorse this book, I do too. Great book.
What a Waste 
2005-10-26
Unless you like misspellings and really want to know the name of J.K. Rowling's midwife, what occupation her first husband had, and what her favorite childhood book was, don't buy this. Total waste of money and an insult to HP fans with its' lack of depth.
Trivia Book is a good read 
2005-10-13
I am an older Harry Potter fan but I enjoy reading all things related to Harry Potter. This Trivia Book not only tested how much I remembered but also had a lot of additional information about the books and the author, J. K. Rowling. It was very entertaining.
Not what I expected.

I guess I should have expected it with this title. But, I didn't learn much new or interesting. I felt it was pretty much a waste of money. Sorry.
awful trivia book 
2006-08-12
This book was jam-packed with both spelling and content errors; i am amazed that a man who considers himself a "Harry Potter authority" managed to misspell 'Ravenclaw' three times. Leading readers to believe that JK Rowling lives in Kensington (she lives in Edinburgh)and that zodiac ends in 'k', it makes me wonder a) if Lawrence pulled all his information off of casual fan sites who had no sources to back up their information, and b) whether anybody bothered to read this book before it was published.
There was some okay trivia, but none of it was incredibly challenging, and some of it was completely and utterly useless: i didn't buy the book to find out exactly how many copies of Order of the Phoenix were sold on the release date, or to find out information about some place that was used as a backdrop for one of the films. My advice: if you are an obsessive Harry Potter fan, like me, and are looking for a good trivia/companion book, DON'T choose this one.
Fire the editor and do a re-write!

Like others posting reviews, I can not fully enjoy any book that is jam-packed with mistakes. Blatant spelling mistakes repeated several times just chip away at an otherwise interesting compilation of facts about J.K. Rowling and the HP books and movies. The Multiple choice format could possibly be fun for a gathering of HP fans but was sometimes annoying when trying to flip forward and back between the answers. I'm rating it two stars for interesting content but horrible presentation.
Amazing! 
2006-05-06
A wonderfull mix of the old, new, and little known facts about Harry Potter and his creator, JK Rowling. Some people seem to forget that there is more to the Harry Potter books than paper and words. Someone actually has to WRITE them. This book rightly includes facts about JK Rowling herself along with the books and movies.
trivia of trivia

This was engaging and, like junk food, hard to put down after only a few pages. A very high degree of difficulty, especially for casual fans, but still fun.
Not a "Must Read" 
2005-12-10
This book delivered on the trivia exactly as promised but, I agree with the reviewer who is not interested in JK Rowling's midwife and favorite childhood book. HP fans want HP info and I think this book covered too much about the author. If I wanted a biography of JK Rowling I would have bought one. The same thing goes for the number of books published and the kind of paper they were printed on. I'm seeking a book on HP like "The Vampire Companion" published as the official guide to Anne Rice's "The Vampire Chronicles", or like "The Cat Who... Campanion" that have brief plots and character descriptions, maps, and other info on places, themes and symbols contained in the books. If you're looking for the same thing, skip this book
