Why you should read this ...
It's quirky, original, and sad, too. Arthur's fascination with Muggles is explored in a very fun way, and his dealings with Molly in their relationship remind me very much of Ron. He's been well-characterised - I can see in him the wise man that raised seven children so wonderfully, in the way he advised his young charge.
You will love the village school children, too, especially young Benjy. Stubefied deals with her themes in such an insightful and sensitive manner. It's really very sweet. And you'll love the twist in the final part!
