This is probably considered old in visual effects as it was made in 2007, so yes some of the effects are poor but that doesn’t detract from the good series. It is very similar to Grimm but with out the monsters as the main character, instead it evolves around the story of a wizard and his cases. You might also recognise some of the actors as they then went on to act in other well known box sets such as Arrow, Warehouse 13. Recommended to everyone, go and watch it on Amazon. Looks like it was cancelled after the first series but please hope that they bring it back.

Fun novel for all ages
What we have here is a well told origin story which does a good job of getting readers wanting more. We have the story of Harry Potter who live with his aunt and uncle. He is treated badly. One day he discovers he has magical powers and is invited to study at Hogwarts school of magic. There he learns about his parents and his past with an evil wizard. This is a great start to an adventure.

Dumbledore's commentaries (1 more)
Simplistic and engaging illustrations
Re-igniting my love for Dumbledore
This is a quick read that not only provides wizarding 'fairy tales' but also provides insight into these works through the addition of commentary by Dumbledore. Through this commentary it appears as if Dumbledore is writing specifically to the reader, which develops a strong personal connection with the short novel. Rowling's decision to include commentary via a well known wizard in this universe creates an engaging read where deeper understanding of the tales can occur. As well as this, the illustrations used throughout are an engaging addition to the text, influencing its overall appeal and consolidating that this is a book of 'fairy tales'.
