This wonderfully enthralled, believing, open book...tackles and heightens the suspense that has been building through the six Potter books. -- New York Times, February 11, 2007

Entertaining for the Avid Harry Potter Fan, with Some Repeat Information...
MuggleNet.com is probably one of the most comprehensive Harry Potter fan sites availabe today. If you are a Harry Potter fan and haven't checked this site out yet...you need to!

This book is Mugglenet.com's labor of love. The site is so devoted to Harry Potter, that it has produced this book as an answer to some of the questions stewing inside fellow Harry Potter fans after the close of Book 6, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". Topics this book explores include Dumbledore (is he *really* dead, or isn't he?), life debts (how is the life debt that Wormtail owes to Harry going to come into play?), the identity of R.A.B. (they deduced the same thing I had, and thats that the identity of R.A.B is none other than Regulus Black, Sirius's younger brother!), Questions surrounding the Horcruxes, Professor Snape (good or bad?), and so much more!. There is even a section that discusses each character in relation to their odds of living or dying in Book 7 -- each character receives a well-thought out statistic as far as what are the odds that they will not survive through Book 7, and then a short but detailed reason is given for that character's score. Why would they be a prime target, or perhaps, why *wouldn't* they be a prime target...

Like most unauthorized books discussing various aspects of the world of Harry Potter, this book is truly pure speculation -- albeit well-thought out and researched speculation. Let your imagination go wild, and ponder some of these nagging questions with all the zeal and fandom you can muster!

Admittedly, there isn't much in this book that can't be found on their website, or in a multitude of other Harry Potter "whats going to happen?" theory books -- but I'm a firm believer that half the fun is in researching each and every theory possible! While this book does repeat a lot of information previously produced, it also helps give a little extra insight into the world of Harry Potter. True Potter fans will enjoy it, even if most of it is either steadily repeated information, or ideas they have already thought of or theorized for themselves.

Bottom line, if you're an avid devotee to the website, then the purchase of this book probably isn't worth it. If you're not, you just might enjoy this book, which may possibly be one of the last of it's kind before J.K. Rowling publishes book number 7, and ends the mystery and suspense for us all!

Bottom line, I solemly swear I am up to no good...

Thoroughly researched and extremely entertaining
Everyone knows that JK Rowling gave Emerson Spartz of MuggleNet a personal interview in her own home a while back. Reading this book makes me wonder if she didn't leak a few major secrets about HP 7 to him in the process. This book's theories are so logical and well-thought out that they seem like they'll HAVE to happen. The authors take you through all the major plot points and loose ends that remain to be wrapped up in Book 7: Snape, Malfoy, Harry's Scar, Life Debts, the Horcruxes, the big battle, RAB, all the major relationships, and more. All their predictions are based on solid logic set up in previous books. There are no wild, crazy leaps in logic here (though some of their predictions are pretty bold and shocking--especially what they say about one of the Horcruxes!). In the end, of course, these are just theories and not the real thing. But these theories are a fantastic way to tide you over until the final HP book comes out. And they won't spoil the final book either, since only JK knows what will really happen. In fact, after reading this book, I'm more excited than ever for the final Harry Potter installment. Way to go, MuggleNet. You guys have made a great book.

Or you could just look on the internet for free . . .
Because there is nothing exclusive here. I dislike this book because it capitalizes on the ideas of the entire Harry Potter community. The ideas presented here do no belong solely to the authors; they belong to the many people who write and conjecture about the Harry Potter series publicaly (mostly online) every day. There is nothing about the authors of this book that make their ability to predict the what will happen any more authoritative than hundreds of other savvy fans, and their ideas have been shaped and influenced by years of discussion by thousands of people. As someone who has belonged for years to the internet Harry Potter community, it disgusts me that a handful of people would use the collective ideas of a community for their own gain. (Read: I would be cool with it if the profits went to charity.) If this is the best venue of Harry Potter prediction you've found, try looking around on the internet a bit, because what is here is not particularly exceptional.
