Perfect for an English Language Arts Room5
I am an English Language Arts teacher in an upstate New York suburban middle school and I think this book is great. My students loved the book. I have a classroom copy on hand that many have borrowed. Not only has Randall picked out relevant, age-appropriate vocab words and defined them, but also, he shows how they are used within the Potter books. The Pottersaurus 1,500 Words Harry Potter Readers Need To Know is a fun book to read and a great resource in an English language classroom. I highly recommend it!

Definitive Harry Potter Word Reference5
First I need to say that I know the author of Pottersaurus. I was extremely impressed by the depth and breadth of this book. The author has obviously read the Potter series with a keen eye for great vocabulary. The book will be a superb companion for any child who is interested in getting the most out of the beautiful language that Rowling uses in her work. In fact, I think it would be a useful reference for adults as well, elucidating some of the lesser-known and more colorful haunts in the English language including such gems as Lurgy, Gormless, Taradiddles, and Budgerigars. Anyone who is a true word-nerd will appreciate this book.

Must Have Companion to Harry Potter Books.5
The Pottersaurus is a must have companion for any Harry Potter reader. An outstanding resource. The Pottersaurus is well organized and easy to use. Fun too! Both my kids love it!
