I needed a pick me up after the last couple books I've read and this was perfect! It gave me all the feels!! It was nice to learn more about Professor McGonagall and Lupin. J.K. Rowling gives us a more in-depth look, a mini-history if you will, of a few of the beloved characters from the Harry Potter stories. This Is Such a short book that I am not sure if it can be added to the number of the books read in the year, or to a challenge.

This novelette was great. I loved getting to see more into some of these side characters. It makes sense why some of them seemed to be their own people and that's because Rowling made them feel that way.

I've read some of the texts on Pottermore. It's cool to know some of the backstories of the characters, but if you think, and at least for me, I wouldn't pay for something I've read free in JK webpage, but also understand the price of thinking in a whole awesome universe, and well... for those who haven't read it yet, it's a priceless opportunity.

(Not TW related) While I enjoyed it I gotta admit I am still, even after finishing it, disapointed it was just biographies and not short stories like the title would suggest... though I loved learning more about the professors!

Absolutely adored this book! I LOVE McGonagall and Lupin. Also was interesting to read a tiny bit about Trelawney and Kettleburn.

It was lovely to dip a toe back into the world of Harry Potter. The chapter on Minerva McGonagall was my favorite part.

Just for fun
I understand people who only want to read the actual books but I enjoy the backstory so much! It's wonderful to learn more!
