Short Stories from Hogwarts of Power, Politics and Pesky Poltergeists by MinaLima, J.K. Rowling

4.0

I'll tell you why I loved this, it gave me answers to a lot of questions I forgot I had while reading the books. I always wanted to know why Professor Umbridge and Quirrell were the way they were and why there was such an odd stigma around potion making. Who is Peeves and what exactly is a Poltergeist?! This little collection answers those questions. It's simple, it's short and it's like reading a bound (in ebook form) version of the content I love on Pottermore. I wish they had been available in bound form but the ebook form makes it super convenient to read while I'm on break at work. It's always nice to have a little Harry Potter fix in the middle of my day. So, if you're curious about the pasts of teachers we never got real background for, check this out, you won't be sorry! JKR herself shares the origins of these fantastic characters and her thoughts on their stories and it's always a treat to hear opinions right from the author themselves!
