dbp:quote
  • Colbert does an excellent job at giving insight into Rowling's books. His writing is educational but does not read like a school textbook. For many, such as me, reading about history can be as dreadful as memorizing the dictionary. Luckily, Colbert mixes his lessons with Harry Potter and that, of course, could never be a bore. (en)
