Short Stories from Hogwarts of Power, Politics and Pesky Poltergeists (Pottermore Presents #2) by J.K. Rowling

Short Stories from Hogwarts of Power, Politics and Pesky Poltergeists (Pottermore Presents #2) by J.K. Rowling-63 pages

I like that Rowling explores Dolores Umbridge's biography and past in more detail and that she explores the foundation of the Ministry of Magic, including a short biography of every witch and wizard to hold the office of Minister for Magic. Additionally, she explains the founding of Azkaban and what it was before becoming a prison. Another interesting biography is that of Horace Slughorn. I like her biography of him and her explanation of his personality in more depth. She also explores potions and potion-making in more detail. Finally, she explores Quirinus Quirrel and Peeves the Poltergeist more fully. I really enjoyed J.K. Rowling's thoughts on different characters, events, and other things throughout these three collections of short stories and her explanations/thoughts on the reasoning behind the names of many characters.
