Absolutely lovely book. I love how the book plays with the concept of the "Book of Transfiguration" which also serves as convenient transitions. The book is decidedly absurd, standing out to me when Black is wearing a kilt and Potts at the clubhouse pulls up his kilt and says "You've got a lovely hairy bum". I also loved how this book deals with identities, such as Roma, Romanian and English. Only complaint is that it is so similar in plot to "Stars and Bars".
