Beautiful, heartfelt, and thought-provoking Haggadah
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2017
Verified Purchase
Got my copy and just started reading through it. First I have to say how utterly beautiful the book looks. Each page is in full color with clean and attractive illustrations and a great color scheme. I love seeing well-designed self-published books!
The book contains all the text, in Hebrew and English, that you would expect to find in a haggadah, along with short bits of commentary relating each part of the seder to a concept in Harry Potter. I particularly enjoyed Rabbi Rosenberg's musings on goblins' ability to perform bittul hametz and the parallels between the four Hogwarts houses and the four children in the seder.
Sprinkled throughout are also thought-provoking questions and some short answers provided by Rabbi Rosenberg's students--these are absolutely precious and alternately had me cracking up and pausing to dwell on some truly insightful answers.
At the end of the haggadah are six complementary essays on topics important to both Harry Potter and the story of Passover, from "Slavery and Freedom" to "Empathy for Your Enemies." I can't wait to sit down and read these and discuss them with my friends.

An awesome way to stay awake at the Seder
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2017
Verified Purchase
Let’s face it…people like to talk at the Seder about things you don’t find particularly interesting (Mah Nishtana in Yiddish, anyone?). It’s considered rude to bring unrelated books to the Seder table; what are we to do to stay sane? Enter the Unofficial Hogwarts Haggadah! This was filled with wonderful insights, thought provoking questions (with adorable answers by the author’s students) and fascinating essays – plenty to keep a Harry Potter fan reading happily (and politely) during the seder. A must for any Jewish Harry Potter fan! If your Seder table is filled with Harry Potter fans, I definitely recommend reading sections aloud to them -- or better yet, getting their own copy for them!

The artwork was gorgeous, binding was done well; overall a high quality book that I’m sure will last for many Seders – until the author comes out with a new edition, that is!

Perfect for the true Harry Potter Fan!
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2017

My Hogwarts Haggadah arrived on Sunday and as a huge HP fan, I couldn't wait to tear open the package. I haven't read the whole thing yet, but so far I love it! Now I want to see if I can get my hands on a copy of his other book, Morality of Muggles: Ethics in the Bible and the World of Harry Potter.
If you haven't read the entire series there are some spoilers in it (so I'm going to have to be selective in which parts I share with my daughter this year since we are only in Book 5 right now). Even if she and I don't read through it all now, as soon as we finish the series together we will definitely be going through the Haggadah to help her tie together her favorite series and Judaism.

These are cute and I enjoyed having them for Seder
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2017

These are cute and I enjoyed having them for Seder. Unfortunately, it isn't organized in a way that allowed for me to skip around at all - which we often do - and would be way too long to read the whole thing (for me, we are not 6 hour seder people). When I use them next year, I will have to demarcate where things start and what pages to use.

There were also A LOT of typos. A lot. But again... it's really cute and I love all the ties to Harry Potter.

If you have Potter fans and want to introduce new lessons from the Pesach/Passover story at your Seder, this Haggadah is the ticket! Even without Potter readers, the insights from Rabbi Rosenberg will add meaning and fun to your Seder experience. And the example answers to some discussion questions from elementary school kids will delight you with their honesty and insights. Each element of the traditional Seder is here, in easy to read Hebrew and English; each Potter related story is highlighted by a lightning bolt icon. It's beautifully designed and fun to read as we get in the weeks before the holiday. Enjoy!

Lisa Brodsky
A traditional text with Harry Potter references poorly integrated
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2017
Verified Purchase
At its core, it's a traditional haggadah (for me, a good thing) with a illustrations in the margins. There are actually two margin illustrations, alternating on the pages, so page 32/33 has the same marginal illustration as 36/37, and page 34/35 has the same marginal illustration as page 38/39. The 32 and 35 sides are Harry Potter themed while the 33 and 34 sides (which you would see at the same time you see the 32 or 35 page) are seder themed. There are some other illustrations around the book, but not many once it gets going.

The book inserts short traditional discussions here and there relating to the current portion of the haggadah story, paired with a discussion of a Harry Potter subject that has some vague tangential relationship to the subject of the traditional discussion (so two steps removed from the haggadah). There is little, if any, attempt to tie the Harry Potter discussion together with the Exodus story at the heart of the haggadah, which was the core of my frustration with this book. It also throws in questions to ask the kids that could relate to the haggadah or to Harry Potter, but not to any connection between them, followed by answers from some real children, which feel like an episode of Kids Say the Darndest Things. I'm not sure what this his trying to accomplish. It makes the haggadah much, much longer (isn't it long enough already?) without really shedding a whole lot of light on the Passover story. I can imagine that Harry Potter might be possible to enhance children's (and adults'!) interest in the haggadah, but I don't think this does it. It adds in lengthy stories that would probably just bore the children, followed by a vaguely related story that doesn't really help the child understand the haggadah. It needs to be tied together better. Here's an example of the sort of thing I hoped to see, using the four questions:

The wise one (... traditional text ... ). Hermione is like the wise one: she wants to know all the details of how everything works and wants to do everything just right!

The wicked one (... traditional text ...) Malfoy is like the wicked one. He cuts himself off from the good people, and in the end he loses because of it.

The simple one (... traditional text ...) Ron is like the simple one. He doesn't know as much as Hermione, so you have to give him simpler answers.

The one who doesn't know how to ask (... traditional text ...) Harry is like this one. He didn't even know magic existed until he came to Hogwarts, so he doesn't know what can and can't be done, and you can't wait for him to ask a question.

And this haggadah story is designed for all kinds of kids, with the details for Hermione, the warnings for Malfoy, the basics for Ron without waiting for Harry to ask.

... anyway, this book wasn't anything like that, so I was underwhelmed by it.

Fits into any seder!
Reviewed in Canada on April 7, 2017
Verified Purchase
A lovely addition to my seder! Ours is a rather large group, spanning 4 generations and going all the way down to third cousins. Everyone has a copy of a bare bones Haggadah, but some of us have our own. This one fits right in with those and I'll have no trouble following along with the traditional text! The sidebars, with the connection to the Harry Potter universe, are insightful and draw deep connections between the goings on at Hogwarts and the meaning we as Jews draw from the Passover story and traditions.
