I really enjoyed this one too; specifically enjoyed the stuff about Ministers for Magic, and Azkaban, but most of all I enjoyed reading about Horace Slughorn.

I surprisingly enjoyed this one a lot more.
I never thought I'd care that much about Peeves or Slughorn but JKR just went and made me!

Also, I just love her writing style:

'I once shared an office with a woman who had covered the wall space behind her desk with pictures of fluffy kitties; she was the most bigoted, spiteful champion of the death penalty with whom it has ever been my misfortune to share a kettle. A love of all things saccharine often seems present where there is a lack of real warmth or charity.'

I feel like my review of all the "Pottermore Presents" ebooks will probably be the same. I love all the background details and this was a quick and enjoyable read.

I was struggling with getting into Six of Crows, so while trying to fall asleep one night, I decided to get wrapped up in a world I totally understand for a little light reading.

Congratulations, JK Rowling. You gave me my first Harry Potter nightmare.

These stories are so fantastic. I've never sat down in front of Pottermore and read all of the extra stories she's written for the site, so to have them bound in a(n e-)book format is fantastic. These stories are so fascinating, especially for anyone who really really got into the books themselves.

My objection is to that gorram Azkaban story, which led me to a truly horrific nightmare involving a dark fortress and thousands of dementors.

Seriously. Not okay.

The chapter on Umbridge was pretty great, though.
