I found this book to be far too full of easy short cuts and simplistic cliches to give it five stars. Far too many times‚ Harry and his friends were "mysteriously" saved at the last minute. And the real answers to these so-called mysteries will fall much more easily into the hands of die-hard Potter fanatics who’ve spent hours studying the books and pouring over the fan sites

What I mean by this is that the wizarding world is very similar to the muggle world if we are to look at the structure of the societies of the two worlds. For example‚ both worlds have a government (State
