Harry Potter Vocabulary Reference Book,

This review is from: The Unofficial Harry Potter Vocabulary Builder: Learn the 3,000 Hardest Words from All Seven Books and Enjoy the Series More (Paperback)
We bought the Harry Potter series for our private high school library. The vocabulary book is probably on an 8th grade level and is like a dictionary giving the words and definitions. Each word is referenced to a specific volume, page and word in one of the Potter books. The definitions are clear, comprehensive and fun. There are a lot of "regular" words and not just "Potter-specific" words that will be useful to help struggling readers understand what's going on in the books.

This review is from: The Unofficial Harry Potter Vocabulary Builder: Learn the 3,000 Hardest Words from All Seven Books and Enjoy the Series More (Paperback)
It contains all words that can be found in any dictionary or wiki site. I thought it would have words like Horcrux and so forth. I thought it would be interesting to have such a reference. Not worth it.

As a teacher, I'd use it!,
This review is from: The Unofficial Harry Potter Vocabulary Builder: Learn the 3,000 Hardest Words from All Seven Books and Enjoy the Series More (Paperback)
I teach fifth grade and spend most of our read aloud time reading Harry Potter to my students. I started the HP series while I was still in college and love how it still sparks kids today. This dictionary is awesome. My students love making lists of words we hear in HP and then looking them up. We then add them to our HP vocab wall and some even show up on our weekly spelling/vocab quizes! The fact that the dictionary is HP related is what makes it fun. A regular dictionary = boring...put HP on it and it becomes "NO! It's my turn!"
I do wish the author had used specific examples from the book instead of just referencing them, but I'm sure copyright had something to do with that.
