"Interactivity is great, with curses, boons, banes, potential allies and neutral parties scattered everywhere. Just about every room has some kind of thing going on, which, while not exactly true, even the 'empty' rooms feel like you’re someplace worth looking in to.
This is a very worthwhile addition to a game. It’s the best Hogwarts I’ve seen. It captures the spirit of Hogwarts, and warped nature turning it in to an adventuring locale … without it being too cutesy or bizarre for the sake of bizarre. It’s a fine line to walk and the designer does a good job. I hope to see more entries."

"The illustrations are charming. [...] Little space is wasted on gratuitous text, and everything is neatly arranged.
It's a little on the whimsical side for me, but that's a) both a matter of personal taste and b) is vastly outweighed by the thought and care that went into the book.
Overall, I'm super impressed with this project."
Todd, Third Kingdom Games
