The cookbook we’ve all been waiting for!,
This cookbook is geared for children and young adults but it will please readers, cooks, and Harry Potter fans of all ages. My kids (ages 14, 12, and 8), have finally found an activity they can all agree on – cooking and sampling savory Harry Potter recipes. This book covers every single recipe that appears in all seven of the Harry Potter books. Ever wonder what Pumpkin Juice tastes like? Or Treacle tart? Well, you’re about to find out!
Just crack open this book for easy to follow recipes, that have been authenticated and thoroughly researched and tested. Adults and children will delight in tracing their favorite Harry Potter delicacies back to the original source, while recreating some of these magical moments.

|Veal?! Strange recipes, no pictures, and no butterbeer. Still a good book.,
* Recipes: Some of the recipes are a little bit silly and overly simple (I’m thinking of the recipe for bacon… Ingredients? Bacon). Some of the recipes sound disgusting to this non-foodie American, like Haggis or Steak and Kidney Pudding.
Most of the recipes fall into the category of VERY simple, like mashed potatoes and buttered peas, or VERY complicated, like the Herbed and Spiced Fried Sausage Patties that call for ingredients like veal (?!), grated lemon zest, and dried marjoram.
Still, I’ve tried a few of the recipes, and the Cinnamon Pull-Apart Breakfast Rolls are seriously delicious, as are the Cheesy, Chivy Scrambled Eggs.
* Not really party food: Almost all of the recipes in this book are for sit-down meals. If you’re looking for a book that has more fun-sized treats and appetizers for a Harry Potter party, I’d recommend The Unofficial Harry Potter Party Book: From Monster Books to Potions Class!: Crafts, Games, and Treats for the Ultimate Harry Potter Party, which includes more of the party-food type of recipes.
* Biggest Annoyance: No pictures. It’s really hard for me to tell if something is appealing enough to make without seeing a picture first. Some of the recipes in here are for things I’ve never heard of, so I would have no idea what it should look like, like mince pies.
* No Butterbeer: I assume because of trademark issues. Too bad.
Here’s my favorite butterbeer recipe of the many I’ve tried:
1 can of Cream Soda
1 teaspoon of Rum Extract
1 teaspoon of Butterscotch Extract
1 tablespoon of Brown Sugar
1 cup of Vanilla Ice Cream
It’s delicious and very frothy – it looks just like beer.
Overall, I think this is a fun and useful cookbook. I’ll be pulling it out at holidays, especially Christmas.
Any Harry Potter fan would be happy with this cookbook, but they might have to look up pictures for some of the more foreign recipes.

|Is it worth it? Maybe…,
I bought this e-book after finishing the series again and was wanting a bit more to ponder in anticipation of book 7. It was interesting, though some opinions and analyses ignored passages in the books which contained the information to clearly contradict the stated analysis or opinion.
I guess I was hoping for more concrete information, and perhaps some genuine spoilers. Mostly, this book was just speculation and “educated” guessing. I felt a little let down and wanting something with more substance. It seemed like I was reading a web log or USENET News Group thread (which can be done for free and you get the benefit of interaction with others).
I was also -appalled- at the lack of proofreading. It is clear no one read through this book prior to publishing. Will someone PLEASE PROOF READ THIS BOOK and correct the typos??? It was embarrassing and annoying to read.
Is it worth the $11, maybe. It does collect some interesting thoughts and ideas in one spot. Mr. Zimmerman did put some effort into the original draft and so I don’t regret spending the money but it is hard to recommend this work highly.

|Purchase with caution,
I purchased this book as something to read before book 7 but found it to contain even less information than most websites let alone have anything new in it at all. The author has a small bias towards characters which may also not suit all readers. If you really must have everything HP then get it but this book will not give you anything new that you could not read at any of the four big websites.

|Great Resource!,
This is a very good book for fans of the Harry Potter books. It gives a vast amount of insight to the theories and opinions on the mysteries of Book 6. There are many good points to the open questions that are left in the Half Blood Prince and every chapter’s highlights are discussed by the author and also by reader comments. The book also gets updated frequently and you get a PDF of the whole book with the updated parts every time new material gets added. Great idea!
A definite must have for Potterheads.
