Kate (493 KP) rated Tardy Bells and Witches' Spells in Books

I really enjoyed this book. There are parts which does remind me of Harry Potter which was a little disappointing but I love Harry Potter so it didn't bother me much. This is the type of book I would read but haven't read for a while due to the age I believe it is aimed at. I do like to go back to books I used to read as it is a bit like nostalgia.
I was hooked form page 1 and that is rare for a book as it usually takes me a couple of chapters.
This also got my imagination going and I could visualize everything I was reading.
I connected with the character in a way that I was annoyed that no-one could see what was going on what the sister.
I feel the book exceeded the blurb.
I am hoping to read the rest of the books in the series but they don't appear to be on Kobo yet.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.

I can't even remember how I got turned onto this story, I think it might have been my sister. She kept telling me how awesome it was, and I just had to see for myself. From the first moment, I was hooked. I got sucked into the wizarding world of Harry Potter so quick it was like a tornado hit. From the first page, I couldn't put it down, I had to know what happened. I think me I finished this one in two days, that's how hooked I was. As much as I've enjoyed Twilight and Catching Fire, neither of those series made me love to read as much as Harry Potter. Not to mention wishing I had magical powers.

I had forgotten just how much I loved reading the Harry Potter series until I picked this book up again.
Following Harry after losing his parents, finding out he is a wizard and then all of his antics at Hogwarts took me right back to my first time reading this as a child. Although very similar to the films, the book (as is the case most of the time) was so much better and had a few changes and scenes that weren’t in the film, which would have been amazing to see on screen.
Harry, Ron and Hermione are the lovable Golden Trio of my childhood. But I was amazed at just how long into the book Harry and Ron became friends with Hermione, I didn’t think it was that long! I loved the introduction to magic that we had and all of the different basic classes that young witches and wizards have to be taught before they can start practising magic. Hogwarts is such an amazing place and this fictional castle has always held a special place in my heart!
This has only strengthened my love of Harry Potter and I will be reading through the rest of the series in the next few weeks to see what else I have forgotten!!

Wow!
I wasn't sure what I was expecting to happen, so I guess I was surprised by the ending. Part of me wishes that there were more books in the series, but really what more could Collins write? The end was a perfect fit to a fantastic series.
I'd rank this series right up there with Twilight & Harry Potter!

Funny and a little silly
I wasn't sure what to expect when I started listening to this but it turned out to be a cross between Harry Potter and The Godfather. Most of it is a little bit bizarre but you have to roll with the punches. It's eccentric and a light listen so don't expect anything amazing.

Perfect for a fangirl
Rainbow Rowell really understands the inner workings of the mind of a fangirl. When reading the book I wanted to cry at how much I related to Cather in her Simon Snow addiction (having just become obsessed with Harry Potter). I just have to hope that one day I find my own Levi!!

Very Disappointing
What a disappointing movie. It felt like this sequel was just awkward and couldn't make sense in the Harry Potter universe. I really think Johnny Depp should've been cast as Dumbledore instead of Grindelwald. He just didnt make a convincing villain. Also for a fantastic BEASTS game there was only 3 new beasts introduced lol.

Life gets darker in the sixth in the series. The pace was better then the last book, but I really didn't care for the cliffhanger ending. I have little patience for books that don't give some resolution.
