“I have sensed a disturbance in the Force.” Ominous words under any circumstances, but all the more so when uttered by Emperor Palpatine. On Batuu, at the edges of the Unknown Regions, a threat to the Empire is taking root - its existence little more than a glimmer, its consequences as yet unknowable. But it is troubling enough to the Imperial leader to warrant investigation by his most powerful agents: ruthless enforcer Lord Darth Vader and brilliant strategist Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Anakin’s and Padme’s cringy voices
Revisado: 02-05-24
The storyline is decent but the narrator’s voice for Anakin made him sound like the biggest fboy. Padme’s voice made her sound far from the fearless leader and strong woman that she is…. I would very well believe that this Padme would die of sadness.

Taking an analytical approach to Hogwarts's irascible, protective Potions professor, author Lorrie Kim presents a closer look at how Dumbledore's double agent operates behind the scenes throughout the Harry Potter series. By examining the story from Snape's point of view, this in-depth exploration pierces the defenses of the wizarding world's famed Occlumens, revealing the man for who he truly is: one of pop culture's most memorable heroes.

Never will see Snape the same again.
Revisado: 09-02-23
Let me start out by saying that I thoroughly admire Lorrie’s devotion and analytical thinking of Snape and the Harry Potter series as a whole. Several times she pointed out instances that really made me smack myself on the head for not realizing them before.
However, and I do mean this in the kindest way possible, there are times when (by either choice of words or theory or both) that I feel like she is trying too hard. Don’t get me wrong it is an interesting read. Also I do agree with some other reviews saying that it is very political. I did indeed get a lot out of this book, though I would be lying if I said I didn’t roll my eyes a couple of times.
Finally, the choice of narrator: Michelle is a great narrator however I don’t think she was the right choice for this book. Especially when she was doing the voice of Snape, I just couldn’t take her seriously. Again she has a good voice for a narrator, but for me I don’t think she was the best choice for this book.

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, is one of the most recognizable and mysterious figures in the Harry Potter series. As an unscrupulous beetle-like journalist once said, he's "a biographer's dream." Is he omniscient or limited? Is he benevolent or malevolent? What really drove him in the last years of an extraordinary life? Dumbledore dives between the lines of the Harry Potter books to create a portrait of the controversial Headmaster. We find Dumbledore's hand in every seeming coincidence and consider the impossible decisions he had to make.

Jubilant, ecstatic, triumphant… A wonderful, wonderful thing had happened…
Revisado: 07-08-23
That was basically my reaction when I found out this book was coming to audible. Khaytman’s book in regards to the enigmatic Dumbledore is by far one of my favorite “Wizarding World” analysis books (I also own the hardcover as well as the e-book 🤓
Irvin’s book is a most illuminating and intriguing book. I have high respect and admiration for all the work that he (and countless other Harry Potter scholars) did. While using the flat side of a silver dagger, they crush the words of the book and release all the juicy details that Jo had put into these books.
This book is also quite funny at some parts too. I don’t want to spoil anything, but one that always gets me to giggle is a mention of “Dumbledore dangling a carrot in front of Voldemort’s nonexistent nose.” 😌
I’ll leave this review by just saying that if you love Harry Potter and/or psychology/character analysis; you will most enjoy this book…. Especially since Augustus Rookwood will be reading it to you 😉
