HARRY POTTER DIDN'T DIE.

The seventh and final book is out, but fans still fiercely debate the many controversial issues left unresolved. Now, the experts at MuggleNet.com argue passionately about what really happened and what should have happened.

•Would the series be stronger if Harry hadn’t survived?

•Should we pity Voldemort or hate him?

•Is Severus Snape really a hero?

•Should J.K. Rowling have left Dumbledore’s gay sexual orientation a secret?

•Did Harry actually die in Deathly Hallows?

•Were the Slytherins too demonized, the Hufflepuffs too lame, and the Gryffindors too glorified?

•Should J.K.R. write more Harry Potter novels or go out on top?

I love this book

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

I read this book long after the 7th book and movie were made, and I enjoyed it so much. Each subject is tackled in an essay format with at least two authors presenting opposing opinions. It reminds my of a high school English class: "Are HP books for children or adults? Discuss." The authors of the essays are from MuggleNet.com contributors and enthusiasts, which the book describes as the most popular HP site on the web. At the end of each essay, the founders of MuggleNet.com decide which is the winning arguement and justify their decision. (And, no, HP should NOT have died.)

Some of the questions that I found most intersting are:
Which character fails to live up to expectations? (Lupin or Tonks)
What is the cheesiest movie moment? (several options, but only one can be the cheesiest)
Who is a better supporting character? (Neville or Luna)
Is the final duel between Harry and Voldemort a disappointment?
Is Severus Snape a hero?
Does Harry Potter die in Deathly Hallows? (I was really glad they asked this one because I couldn't figure out what in the world was going on when Harry met a dead Dumbledore in the train station, and apparently no one else could either.)

This book is (almost) a must-have, and I'm very glad to have made the magic last just a little bit longer by reading it.

Nice book for hardcore Harry Potter fans

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2010

Verified Purchase

Nice book for hardcore Harry Potter fans. The book discusses numerous controversial HP topics (both sides) such as: are the Slytherins too demonized? (I have to say yes), is the epilogue a letdown? (no, I don't think so), who helps Harry more on his quest: Ron or Hermione? (Hermione of course even if she broke his wand), which is the best book (toss up between GOF or DH for me), is Voldemort the most evil fictional character ever? (ever, no, but he did try to kill a baby and that's pretty evil), are the HP books for adults or children? (I have to say adults but for some reason those kids seem to like 'em) and MANY more Harry Potter debate topics.

A good book. Only for the most avid Harry Potter fans.

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2011

Verified Purchase

For those of you criticizing the book based just on its title without even reading it, you really are missing out. This is a good book filled with discussion topics that any hardcore Harry Potter fan would want to read about. A few of the topics are just plain ridiculous however, so if I were given the option I'd give this book 4 1/2 stars.

OK read...

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2010

Verified Purchase

This was an OK book. Some of the content was a little silly, and I ended up just skipping over several "chapters." Most of this book's discussion can be read on their website, mugglenet.com...or heard on their podcasts, mugglecast.
Overall, an OK read for avid Harry Potter fans, but I wouldn't buy it again.

I was pleased!

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2013

Verified Purchase

This was everything I expected it to be and more! Yes, there were some topics that can be considered "silly" but who cares? It's a fun book, but it's also informative and well-written. The arguments contained therein are well thought out, accurately and appropriately supported on both sides, and given conclusions. I think it was a great buy.

Needed more argumentation

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2011

Verified Purchase

This book is very funny, and it also provides some good insights. But I did miss a little bit more argumentation, because I felt like the authors did not argue both sides equally. Other than that, I loved it. But as I said, it could have been a little longer.
Perhaps they'll write a sequel.

No sparks, no Spartz

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 8, 2011

Verified Purchase

This is an interesting book, I love mugglenet and read and re-read the previous book by Emerson Spartz & co. I received this book yesterday and finished reading it before I went to bed. It is a fun read in parts and a few of the subjects are thought provoking but others are just plain silly, I appreciate the humour but found it unnecessary. I was expecting something similar to the previous book 'What will happen in Harry Potter 7?' Without any predictions of course! I just preferred that style. This one has much too much use of the word 'cool' and I found it a little too simplistic, I expected more in depth discussions and couldn't help but be disappointed. I think I will have a look at some of the Harry Potter Essay books instead. I don't think I will need to read it again which says it all for me. I am a massive Potter fan but this just didn't quite do it for me.

interesting in places but also too much nonsense.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 1, 2014

Verified Purchase

Some of this is good, such as the debate as to whether Harry really died or not in DH. At other times it is nonsense, such as who would be the better mother, Skeeter or Umbridge. Also, it seems to present its subjective opinion as fact, only recognising it as personal opinion in the "what is the best/worst books" debate.

Worth a read, but no way is this worth the fiver I paid for it. For 2 quid I'd have been happy.

Got me thinking

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 2, 2013

Verified Purchase

A great book that got me thinking about questions I had never considered. It also gave me a few fresh viewpoints on questions I had previously considered. All in all, a book for any Potter fan who has sat and pondered some of the finer points if the Potter plot.

Just re-read Harry Potter, skip this one.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 15, 2014

Some of the debates were okay, but then there was 'would you rather kiss voldemort or a dementer?' Like, seriously, that was a genuine question. Overall alright I suppose, but I'd rather read the actual books.

Harry Potter Should NOT Have Died!

Expected a bit more but still a great book if you're into that stuff. Full of excellent theories and what ifs.
