Small and Flawed
This is more pamphlet than book. At 114 double sided pages, you're talking 58 pages thick. The major flaw with this book is that no wand movements are included. Anyone who has read the books knows that spells require specific wand movements. You can't just say a spell and have magic happen. It doesn't take a super-fan to know that. Furthermore, for a spell book, a number of spells don't even include the incantation. For instance; "Bubble Head Charm" and "Throw Snowballs". Those aren't incantations, those are descriptions of the spell. I don't remember the Weasley brothers shouting, "Throw Snowballs!" before their barrage of snowballs assaulted Gryffindor tower. This book was created by a 15 year old who cherry picked spells (not all of them) from the books and movies and typed them out. Now, because he slapped "Unofficial" on the cover, he's hoping to turn a profit off of someone else's intellectual property. There are so many Harry Potter books out there (both official and unofficial) that are far better composed, thought out and executed than this garbage.
