A quick yet enjoyable read that adds to the already large Harry Potter canon. Worth the time for existing fans of the series.

I'm in my mid-twenties, I read this, and I enjoyed it. I am unsure if this is embarrassing, but nostalgia for Harry Potter is strong, and I appreciate continuing to expand the Wizarding World.

I am however, conflicted about enjoying the Harry Potter series because although I find a lot of the world-building fascinating, and I think there are a lot of great lessons for kids, I do not agree with many of JK Rowling's beliefs on social issues. I respect that sales of some (possibly all) versions of this book support Comic Relief, but would encourage those interested in reading this book to financially support link: Comic Relief directly and acquire the book through means that don't also fund JK Rowling.

Charities worth supporting that JK Rowling would not approve of:
The Trevor Project (US)
Gendered Intelligence (UK)
Trans Lifeline (US)
