I liked learning about the symbolism and the name meanings (such as how Latin translations go into place). I also enjoyed the God-relationships/similarities brought in for each book. There were TONS of WOW facts and even Rowling quotes that prove that Harry Potter books ARE more God-centered than people think or want to even believe because they are so set on it being a story of wizards and witches that it must be a demonic series (and for the manyyyyy Christians I've met who are Anti-Potter, as I myself was up until nearly a year ago, who judge without ever reading them). Reading this book helped me appreciate the books even more. It included scriptures and some history
