Review:
This is the third Pottermore Presents collection that collects articles and short stories written by J.K. Rowling for the Pottermore website along with some new material that can only be found in these ebooks. As you might guess from the title, Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unreliable Guide, this collection is focused on the school that every Harry Potter fan dreams of attending. Let's face it, we've all looked out of the window hoping to spot an owl dropping off our acceptance letters!
Anyway, we already know a lot about Hogwarts from the series but this lets us into some behind the scenes information about where J.K. Rowling got her ideas for things like the sorting hat and some other background details that never quite made it into the books. Learn more about Kings Cross Station and Platform nine and three-quarters, find out how the Ministry of Magic got their hands on the muggle train that became the Hogwarts Express, learn more about the Sorting Hat and the different Hogwarts Houses. You'll even get to visit the Hufflepuff common room, find out how the Marauder's Map was created and learn more about Time-Turners and the rules of time travel (Jack Thorne & John Tiffany you should have paid special attention here!).
As if that wasn't enough there are whole sections on the residents of Hogwarts from the ghosts to the various portraits and you'll get a backstage pass to view the hidden parts of the castle like the Chamber of Secrets. You'll even find out more about some of Hogwarts' greatest treasures from the Mirror of Erised to the Sword of Gryffindor and many more in between.
This is probably the most detailed of the three ebooks and there is a lot of extra information in here. I still think the first book (Short Stories from Hogwarts of Heroism, Hardship and Dangerous Hobbies) is my favourite but this was a close second. These books are still expensive for what they are but if you want all of the information collected in one place rather than having to hunt it all down on the Pottermore website then they're worth picking up. If you're not a Harry Potter superfan then you'll probably be happy to give them a miss though.
