Grabbed a copy this morning and gave it a read. Enjoyable. Not for little kids, though. “The Warlock’s Hairy Heart” makes an interesting point, and also reminds me of Edgar Allan Poe. The subtle humor in the Dumbledore commentary is reminiscent of what made him such a beloved character in the HP books, as well as the wisdom he imparts.

I’ll be interested to see what the overall impression of folks will be. At various moments, I felt as though the story might be a bit “preachy,” something I didn’t sense with HP. The stories are clever, and only time will tell if they are classic.
