Most of these I had already read on Pottermore, but I enjoyed re-reading them, and the new little tidbits about Hogwarts life that have been added.
I'm not sure why this is entitled "Short stories", because it reads more like encyclopedic entries, especially as there is not a definite story arc in any of the chapters.

I did not enjoy this collection as much as the first one because it deals with some of my least favorite characters, Umbridge, Slughorn, Quirrell, and Peeves. Hearing about the history of Azkaban was also very dark and sad.

Still I do love the depth of the Harry Potter world, and I truly appreciate the complexity and background of every single character.
