Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)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.

Sayre Van Young lives in Berkeley, California, where she seldom has the opportunity to use "pince-nez" or "basilisk," but is happy she can pronounce them and use them appropriately if needed.
