Is It Any Good?
This site is a rock-solid source of Harry Potter information, and includes some fun games and features, too. If your child is looking to interact with other HP fans, however, they'll have to head over to The Stacks, Scholastic's official site for kids to interact on subjects of favorite titles and authors. There are some glitches with some of the HP site's features, and some of the visuals may be a bit scary or confusing for young, non-reading Harry Potter listeners. But, overall, this is a site where most Potter fans will find a lot to learn and much to love.
