  It's official, it's a cookbook. With snippets from the Harry Potter books... It's nice though, but I hope I can try one of the recipe. Hoping it will not be a burned pansy....

  The recipes are very basic but what’s fun is the author includes which HP book the food is mentioned in as well as a short history on the dish. I found that part more interesting than the recipes.

  Mostly easy recipes
  
  Most of these recipes seem easy. Lots of traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas recipes like turkey, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie.

  Synopsis: "Free eBook Download!Sure, you can't be in Hogwarts Hall for the Christmas feast, but you can add some wizadry to your own holiday meal with this free e-book! The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook Presents: A Magical Christmas Menu includes 16 recipes guaranteed to enchant your friends and family this holiday season. From mouth-watering appetizers to decadent desserts and a steaming cup of Mrs. Weasley's Hot Chocolate, this season you can conjure a feast that would satisfy even Hagrid's hearty appetite!"
  
  My Review: This was very interesting and would be fantastic for any big Harry Potter Fan. It gives a full several course menu with recipes for each item for a Hogwarts worthy Holiday dinner. I liked that each item had a brief description about where it appeared in the Harry Potter books and then an additional description of the history of the dish. There are several unique ideas and I am definitely making the creamy onion soup for either Thanksgiving or Christmas!

  I laughed when I started to read this cookbook. When reading the Harry Potter books, I thought to myself that food should be considered a character in the story and I am glad to see that I am not the only one who noticed. Find recipes, as well as real life history, for some of the Hogwarts favorite edibles in this fun holiday cookbook. Enjoy a traditional Christmas Pudding, Cornish Pasties, Peppermint Humbugs and other recipes. This is actually only a teaser for the full cookbook and only loosely tied to the Harry Potter books, however I found it fun.

  I loved the Harry Potter books and have even skimmed through The Tales of Beetle the Bard for "The Tale of the Three Brothers." Dinah Bucholz came out with The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook: From Cauldron Cakes to Knickerbocker Glory--More Than 150 Magical Recipes for Muggles and Wizards in September of 2010 and this little ebook copy, though it only covers "one" Christmas dinner menu, is still fascinating. I really want to try the Cornish Pasties and the Christmas Trifle.

  I love cooking, so this was a fun book! I successfully made some things, while others, particularly candy, turned out disastrously. If I had known more about candy making it would have been fine! I would definitely check this book out again!

  What I love about this book is that for every dish the author included the background in the Harry Potter story, but the historical background of the dish as well.
  
  So not only could I have a very Happy Harry Potter Christmas meal, I learned a lot too.

  Not what I expected
  
  I was expecting recipes for items in the Harry Potter universe. Rather, this gives you recipes for regular Muggle meals that just happen to be mentioned in the books.

  This appears to be a condensed version of the original book.

  Short, but good enough for Christmas
  
  While you can find most of this in a usual cookbook, you can find plenty of new, potteresk things to try!
