2008-06-13 Shoddy cash-in

I'm no potter expert, I just wanted something to have to hand in case I forgot what a particular spell or curse did whilst reading with my young daughter.
I was to be hugely dissapointed - on looking up a curse (I forget which) it just said it was the curse "baddy A" used on "goody B" once, but didn't tell me what the curse did! To make matters worse I had no idea who the characters referred to were as we were only on book 2 at that stage and I hadn't met them yet. If I had the knowledge to make that connection, I wouldn't need a book like this in the first place. I found many of the references similarly vague and obscure, of no help at all to someone who wants to look up basic facts as a guide to reading the books, which is surely what a book like this should be for.
Knocked together as a quick cash in with no thought or integrity - as much use as a chocolate fireguard.
