Minerva McGonagall is my favorite of all the teachers at Hogwarts, and I loved reading about her backstory, her quiet heroism, and her moral fortitude. Even after having read most of it on Pottermore.com, I enjoyed reading it a second time!

Remus Lupin is my second favorite character in the Potterverse (right after Hermione, naturally). Reading his full story is so heartbreaking and beautiful! His internal struggles, his kindness to everyone despite the prejudice he encounters, and his strong sense of duty and loyalty all make him a supremely lovable person. I just love reading about his romance with Tonks! Those two are so perfect together.

And there are some very short descriptions of Trelawney and the previous Care of Magical Creatures professor before Hagrid, both of which I had already read on Pottermore as well.

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.

All in all, I love getting any more information about these beloved characters and seeing more of the Wizarding World!
