 I FEEL DUPED..., Apr 13, 2023
I am a 29 year old mother who has loved Harry Potter for many years. I was excited to find the first book (Mysteries of Harry Potter 1-4)and I loved it. I was a little unnerved by some of the predictions they made, but still thought-provoking...
So when I bought this book, I didn't read the title well enough and was surprised it was a hints-only book. Putting that aside, I decided to give my HP Sleuth skills a shot. I was sorely disappointed that their recommended reading list was pretty much required (not recommended) if you were to understand at all their hints. I have 3 small boys and have no time to read 80 books and poems before I even attempted to read the hints-only book. I have a Bachelor's degree in education and I still had a hard time following their running-bits, theories, and trying to decipher the character's names and such. I wanted a book that would do the really difficult, time-consuming work for me so I could spend my time making connections of my own based on really well though-out hints. This book doesn't do that for you. It was written in less than 3 months and it is obvious. THIS BOOK IS AN AUTHOR'S VERY ROUGH DRAFT THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN PUBLISHED. I wish I could return the book and get my money back.
A waste of time, money, and energy. I have yet to see the completed version she promised everybody in 2003 to be done in a year and it is now 1/4 of the way into 2005. I would have been much more content to have sat and waited for her to complete an in-depth analysis of book 5 rather than have to pay money twice. I feel duped - and I was.

 Interesting, But Mostly a Tease for an Upcoming Book, Apr 2, 2023
While some of the "hints" are quite interesting, you shouldn't buy this book if you are looking for the conclusions made in The Plot Thickens... Harry Potter Investigated by Fans for Fans. The first 30 pages are a repetative explanation of the fact that this book is hints only. You are told several times how the next book will give possible explanations of the hints given in this one. While the "hints" given are interesting, those Griffindors of us are too busy to go through the multitudes of books listed as possible help in deciphering the "hints." I'll just have to wait for the next book to come out to see what conclusions can made from the hints in this one.

Good.. but not great, Dec 23, 2022
Its good and reveals stuff, but is not as detailed as the first one. They also don't explain the hints in as much depth as the first one.

Cool Book!, Dec 22, 2022
I read the book for the first four Potter books, and I was shocked at how the authors picked up very tiny bits of info, so went out and bought this one. The authors tell what they find with wit and secrecy. They get you started on finding annoying little bits and hints that J.K. Rowling keeps dropping us.
To sum it up, I am a proud Harry Potter Sleuth, and a proud reader of WWP {Wizarding World Press}.
LET'S GO SNARK HUNTING!
