Such a treat

I was never a die hard fan to the extent I visited pottermore so this was a real treat to hear all the content that had been shared by JK. I loved all the new information and it was brought to life excellently by the narrators and the dolby atmosphere which really added to the magic. Can't wait for the next one (please!).

What a delightful treasure

I saw a brief advert for this book on instagram, and believe Evanna Lynch to be a perfect presenter for these treats and goodies, that enhance the reader, movie watcher or visitor to the Harry Potter Studios. Beautifully read by all the actors, it ebbs and flows with insights, detail, background and secrets. I enjoyed it immensely.

An amazing archive of fresh wizarding knowledge

As a mildly obsessive Harry Potter fan I found the exploring of previously unknown wizarding knowledge absolutely fascinating. A particularly detailed and interesting part of the audiobook is when it talks about wands which I really enjoyed and found extremely captivating. Also the authors notes are very enjoyable as they explain JK Rowlings original ideas, feelings, regrets and inspirations. I would recommend it to Harry Potter fans (it contains spoilers on all seven books and talks about/quotes cursed child and other Harry Potter related tales).

Voldermort....VOLDERMORT!!

I really enjoyed this additional text expanding on the world we grew up with and adored. The narration was lovely but I would have preferred Stephen Fry to have narrated alongside Evanna Lynch as I found the male narrator irritating as he kept pronouncing Voldermort as 'Voldermor' and it just grated on me.
The noise effects could have been more enjoyable but they were sporadic and threw me off as they sometimes cut out the voices off.
still a really enjoyable experience and I would listen again.

All the information I’ve ever wanted.

Absolutely love this audio book. It has blown the Wizarding world right open for me. I do agree with other listeners about the pronunciation of Voldermort but if you can over look that then this is for you. You will not be disappointed.

Super Interesting and Fun - but "Voldemore?"

I've thoroughly enjoyed this book. the information was fascinating, I enjoyed Evana's provision of context to each chapter and the overarching idea of giving people this kind of access to the pottermore lore is brilliant! I've been a fan for 25 years, but I never made time to sink into pottermore. thoroughly enjoyable.

BUT - why oh why does everyone pronounce "Voldemort" as "Voldemore"?? If this is the proper pronunciation of the name, as directed by J.K herself, how did it go through 8 movies and 7 audio books before being picked up on this one?? admittedly, this pronunciation was profoundly frustrating to me.

Spellbinding!

It is just what you want from the world of Harry Potter. Just when I thought I knew everything, I am submerged further into the world of Harry all over again. Wonderful book, lovely cast.

Great for HP fans

If you’re interested in the world of Harry Potter this is a great listen. I enjoyed it and the background noises didn’t bother me. Bit confused about the pronunciation of some words. When did Voldemort become VoldeMORE? Someone tell me I’m not alone in noticing this!
