More About the Author
Dinah Bucholz is the official author of The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook. Dinah was born to a large family and grew up in a small New York City suburb called Monsey.
Dinah's first experience with baking occurred when she received for her ninth birthday a toy mixer from her mom that actually worked. She mixed up a chocolate cake batter without following a recipe and then poured the brown glop into plastic bowls and set them in the oven. Thankfully, she forgot to turn the oven on.
Today, Dinah lives in Philadelphia with her husband, and to the sorrow of her four children, no pets. She spends her time cooking and writing and wearing a professional-looking white chef's apron when she remembers to put it on.

This product came in handy for a Harry Potter party that I threw celebrating the last release of the Harry Potter movies (DH part 2) It came with a small paperback cookbook that had new recipes for sweet Harry Potter treat. It also came with some molds and other small items to help decorate what you made. In the recipe book there was some repeated recipes from the first cookbook that the author came out with. However I thought that it gave me great new recipes and expanded my Harry Potter knowledge in the food area. So I recommend it highly to those nerds out there that are sick of Muggle food and want to try something a bit more magical.

Be aware, the only thing this is, is a big "Harry Potter Sweet Shoppe" box, inside is a little itty bitty receipe book, some small cellophane bags and twist ties, and a flimsy plastic mold that you can use to make candy. Pretty dissapointing.

I bought this item towards the end of the summer, and I have to say the recipes are GREAT! I would also highly recommend purchasing the unofficial Harry Potter cookbook if you're looking for more than just sweet recipes. The broomsticks and chocolate molding kit are fun if you want to make something quick and easy for your kids or parties!

Great
Product came in good condition and the contents are good. I've yet to make anything due to being busy but it doesn't look like it'll be too hard to do.

The Only Magic was how the box made it look like there would be more.
The box made it appear there would be much more, but instead it was a plastic mold, some chocolate brooms and chips, plastic bags and ties and a recipe book. Read more

Disappointing
Despite impressive packaging, this is little more than a small cookbook, a candy mold with nine spaces, a handful of broomstick lollipop sticks and some cellophane bags and ties. Read more
