Me ha gustado bastante.
Es un libro muy breve, pero con suficiente información que no conocíamos sobre la profesora McGonagall, Remus Lupin, Sybill Trelawney y Silvanus Kettleburn, como también, algunos detalles sobre los hombres lobo y las videntes.
Personalmente, me gustó mucho saber un poco más sobre Remus Lupin y la profesora McGonagall. Si bien es cierto, ya quedaba claro que Lupin llevaba una vida muy solitaria antes de conocer a Tonks, pero leyendo este capítulo es inevitable entristecerse con ciertos detalles. Lo mismo sucede con el capítulo de la profesora McGonagall, un personaje bastante hermético, del que sabíamos muy poco. Muchas de las inquietudes, respecto a su vida personal, que van surgiendo a través de la lectura de los libros de HP, cómo era su familia, su infancia, si tuvo pareja, etc., pueden ser contestadas en este libro.

Why must my fave's life be so painful? Poor Remus.
Also, I like Kettleburn.

Cool little read to get some more information about the characters in the HP universe. Obviously nothing too special about it.

And the last one, too bad it is over now. :( Wouldn't mind more books like this one.

As much as I always felt a bit like Hermione, I often feel like I will grow up to be McGonagall. Or maybe I aspire to be McGonagall, I'm not sure. So I *loved* all of the backstory for her. One of my other favorite characters has always been Remus Lupin and I was devastated that both he and Tonks died in the Battle of Hogwarts, but again, I very much enjoyed learning more about his life (although this one made me tear up).
