This was a very pleasant surprise after the rather disappointing second book! More fantasy and horror elements (of the Lovecraftian kind) and a story that actually felt like it was going somewhere. Still on the fence about whether you're supposed to like Cabal or not, though, which is strange, maybe, after three books?

Another fun & quick read, that once again contained a lot of information previously published on Pottermore. I enjoyed the chapter on Slughorn the most, because it gave some details of his character that made me understand why I kind of like him.

I loved learning more about these characters (though I think at least some of the contents of this ebook have been published on Pottermore before). Especially Lupin and McGonagall.

Fun, quick read. It was a little strange that there was a chapter about the Hufflepuff common room and none of the others? I think it was because that one is never described in the books, but I would have liked more information on the others anyway.

I've fallen so far behind my plan for #sumtbreadathon but to be fair I barely made a plan and this was a good one!!

Pitched as girl scouts do Scooby Doo, it gave me Steven Universe and Adventure Time vibes 😍 I recommend it!

2nd book for #24in48 readathon! 4/5⭐️ overall. The Fountain of Fair Fortune and The Tale of the Three Brothers were my favourite stories.
The Wizard and the Hopping Pot: 3⭐️
The Fountain of Fair Fortune: 4⭐️
The Warlock's Hairy Heart: 2⭐️ - kind of aromisic. The warlock forgoes all love, but romantic love still seemed to have the focus.
Babbity Rabbity and Her Cackling Stump: 3⭐️
The Tale of the Three Brothers: 5⭐️
Book 7 for #sumtbreadathon

First book for #24in48 finished! While this was a fun read and I loved the sarcasm and dry wit, it fell a little flat. For a book about a necromancer, there was awfully little necromancy; for a book titled 'the detective', there was awfully little detective work. I'd expected a murder mystery, and there was one, but it was impossible to work out the clues yourself because there hardly were any. 2,5/5⭐️

This was a fun read! I loved learning little things that I'd never have thought of, but that actually make a lot of sense. Like the fact that brooms are enchanted with cushioning charms so they're more comfortable to sit on!

I love this book so much. It's heartwarming as well as heartbreaking. It's got a diverse and interesting cast of characters. It's the perfect comfort read, as well as just being a really good scifi with well thought out world building. I'm so excited to finally read the sequel!

Quick, fun read. The notes made by Harry and Ron were so cute!
How awesome would it be to have an illustrated edition of this? With illustrations of all the different creatures! I kind of want to listen to the audiobook narrated by Eddie Redmayne as well.
