The Unofficial Harry Potter Spellbook: Wizard Training: Black and White Version

Great read!!!
Introduction:Hands down, no questions asked- I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan. I know a ton about the Harry Potter franchise, and it is by far my favorite book series (and that really is saying a lot because I have read a ton of books!) One of my favorite things about the Harry Potter universe is the Harry Potter Conventions that usually have some kind of trivia contest. I always do pretty well, but the one thing that I stink at is spells. Okay, I know all of the basic spells, but for some reason I can never figure out how some people know just so many. I wanted a way to get better. So, when I received an 25$ Amazon gift card, I went strait to the computer to look for a spell book. As I looked through I found some that seemed pretty good, but there was always a bunch of bombed reviews saying that the product was a "piece of trash" or, "totally worthless". When I found that this book had some relatively good reviews, I thought, "What the heck, I'll just buy it."Quality:Okay, so the book came pretty fast if two days is good enough for you (it sure was for me!) I freaked out when the package arrived, and tore into it as fast as my fingers could rip. I was a little bit disappointed that it was only a paperback book. I was also sad to see that the book was self published, which I thought would mean it would have low quality. Man, I was so wrong. When I opened it up it was an amazing sight! The book had incredible illustrations on nearly every page, showing how to cast each spell. Even better, the font made it look as though it was written with a quill- which makes it seem way more like it's an actual spell book. There are even little guides on each spell on how to properly say them.Length:You would probably expect a spell book to be like a thousand pages long, but let me warn you, this book is only about two-hundred pages. But, there are about three spells per page, so that's a lot of spells if you think about it. The spells are all listed in alphabetical order, and there are even some spells mentioned in the back of the book that nobody knows the incantation to! That's pretty cool if you ask me. So all in all, my estimation is that there are about six-hundred spells in the book.Authenticity:Okay, Michael K. Gonzalez really worked hard to write this book. It includes spells from every single official Harry Potter source out there, including: All the books, the new book, "Harry Potter and the Cured Child" spells, "Fantastic Beast and Were to Find Them" spells, all the spells from the movies, all the spells from the "LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4" video game, every spell from "LEGO Harry Potter years 5-7" video game, every spell from every single other Harry Potter video game in the world (even the hard to find ones,) every spell from some weird Harry Potter trading card game, every spell ever mentioned on Pottermore, and finally every spell from "Quidditch Through the Ages".Overall:An amazing book that every Potter fan should have!

Love it!
This is a great Spellbook for any Harry Potter fan. It has spell names with pronunciation, descriptions, and shows diagrams of how to cast the spell using a wand. Its alphabetized spells come from the books, movies, and the Lego video game. I bought it as a gift, and he can't put it down. He has so much fun practicing spells and using the spells he learns in wizard battles.

Great for Pretend
Cute book. Great for any Harry Potter fan. I purchased this for my son (7) to use with his wand. He loves it. The spells match the ones in the stories. The book provides pronunciation of all of the magical words and some of the spells have an illustration showing wand movements. Makes pretending to be Harry Potter much more imaginative.

Has a few errors.
Overall a great spell book. But not without a few hiccups. Impervious is listed in the book twice. Also the descriptive text for incarcerous, is the same as impervious. Despite that fact that in the film, order of the phoenix, umbridge uses the same spell to conjure ropes around a centuar.I believe there was 1 or 2 more goofs. But i cannot remember off the top of my head. Overall though a good book.

Good Quality
I bought this for my nephew for his birthday and he really loved it. Him and all the other kids had a blast trying out all the spells in the book with the wands from their goodie bags! The print was good quality and the pages seemed to be in order from the quick flip thru I did before wrapping it.

Good Toy
I bought this book for my grandson. He loves it. Itβs Harry Potter after all. The price was great and the sturdiness of the paper within the book is good quality. It should last his awhile. He plays with it everyday. The price was good and it arrived quite quickly. Heβs happy, Iβm happy.

Good Gift
My husband and I purchased this book for his younger sister, who is in 2nd grade. As two Harry Potter lovers, we were thrilled to hear she was reading (and loving) Harry Potter, just as much as we had (and still do). This book came in good condition and met our expectations - she absolutely loved it!! We know this will only continue her love of reading and Harry Potter!!
