Library Journal (08/15/2007)
Harry Potter aficionados and those who knit for them will love the 28 knitwear designs ranging in difficulty from an ambitious Clock Blanket reminiscent of the timepiece that keeps track of each Weasley household member to simple hats, mittens, and scarves worn by students of the four Hogwarts' houses (knitting blogger Hansel even recommends specific colors and yarns for replicating house colors). Patterns indicate difficulty level, and many cover a wide span of sizes, from small child to adult XXL. While most of the projects have an unmistakable HP theme, many (e.g., the cabled mittens) can be enjoyed by those unfamiliar with the franchise. Enthusiastically recommended for most public libraries.
