I am about halfway through "Prisoner of Azkaban," so can only speak to how the first three books in the Potter series are discussed by the author. Dr. Thomas writes in a light and informative style, highlighting and using puns (and apologizing with tongue in cheek) and pointing out things both evident and non-evident. Especially interesting are the points that he makes about foreshadowing, where things that happen in earlier books point to the trajectory to book 7 that experienced (as opposed to novice) readers will easily follow. He also discusses in the book 3 section, entitled "Some Sirius Business," the near-absence of exposition, wherein an author feels the need to reiterate or explain something that was introduced in an earlier book. He credits JK Rowling with understanding that not many new readers would begin with book 3, so, for example, the "explanation" of Quidditch is a few sentences only, as compared to Wood's detailed explanation to Harry in book 1. I highly recommend "Repotting Harry Potter" for, as the publisher says, "the serious re-reader." ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ excellent overview *by R***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 13, 2012* James W. Thomas has put together a concise, fun, easy-to-read, guide on the 7 book series by J.K. Rowling. Being a professor, it could have been very easy for him to write something with a more "highbrow" feel, but this book is very down-to-earth, even conversational in style. I would have enjoyed having him as a lit professor. He points out so many things I had missed on my first read through, devices such as ironic foreshadowing, checkov's law, and Rowling's play with words, alliteration, and even naming of items, people, stores. There are soo many details crammed into Rowling's books, that I had not seen. and when I re-read the series, I'm sure I will see many more of them, having read this. Since reading the Harry Potter books, largely to approve them before my son read them, I've thought that they were a fun adventure series. (anyone who can get kids to read 5,000+ pages of story is doing something right!) I never dreamed how much more there was to find! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyably light, yet surprisingly deep *by K***X on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 4, 2020* The author gathers the re-reader of Harry’s adventures into an informal, light-hearted, yet still academically challenging discussion of each chapter of all seven major Harry Potter novels, highlighting so very many points that only a re-reader can catch and appreciate, adding to the enjoyment of the series by pointing out relationships between the various events in the books both to other events in the books, and also to literary and real-life references outside the series. This was a truly enriching supplement to the Harry Potter series. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/11019341-repotting-harry-potter-a-professors-book-by-book-guide-serious](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/11019341-repotting-harry-potter-a-professors-book-by-book-guide-serious) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
