A review by _belle
The Psychology of Harry Potter: An Unauthorized Examination of the Boy Who Lived by Neil Mulholland

reflective medium-paced

4.0

Really very interesting for any HP fan who also has an interest in psychology. This book has a vast amount of essays written by different people, all exploring various points and scenarios regarding the first six HP books and the wizarding world in general. Some of the points and discussions are really quite fascinating.

There are some factual errors littered throughout:

-Astrology is not a subject at Hogwarts, it is Astronomy
-Mad Eye Moody is never actually a professor
-Cho and Harry are not classmates
-Charlie and hippogriff misspellings (hippograff)
-The use of the polyjuice potion to find out the heir of Slytherin is in the second book, The Chamber of Secrets.. not The Order of the Phoenix

...just to name a few

Overall a very interesting read.
