    Christmas gift hit!

    Bought for my grandson- big Harry Potter (& cooking) fan. Wide range of recipes, easy to follow directions, LOTS of choices. He had asked me for a paper clip, and had his first choice marked 5 minutes after opening his gift.

  • Most critical review

    No pictures to go with the recipes

    Since it is an Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook, it has its pluses and minuses. One of the plus features is that each recipe includes the Harry Potter book and Chapter that the recipe foods are referenced. The pages are made to look aged. Disclaimer is right on the cover that it is not licensed or authorized by J.K. Rowling or Warner Bros. One of the minus issues is there are no pictures (not even drawings of the foods). It is okay for an English recipes book.

  • Great for harry potter fans!

    Great, informative cook book. It not only has great recipes from different foods served in the series, but each recipe has a description of when the recipe was used in the Harry Potter series. Would highly recommend.

  • Harry Potter Cookbook

    It arrived quickly and in fabulous condition! We have tried a few recipes already and have had a blast. It is more British cuisine than magical potions and such but she references lost of HP moments from the books and makes it fun.

  • Happy with this purchase.

    I had this cook book once before and needed to buy a new one since I lost the last. My nieces enjoy watching the Harry Potter movies and we always cook a couple of dishes from the films as we watch. This was a great price and shipped quickly.

  • Must have!! Would buy again!!

    I adore this cookbook. The recipes slap and are very easy to make. The ingredients are easy to find. Also enjoy the fun facts on each page as well as the paragraph above each recipe telling how it corresponds to the book. A must have for any Harry Potter fan. (In my opinion, way better than the official harry potter cookbook. Once again though, that's just my opinion.)
