Book recommendation by Mr Newman in the morning assembly on 14^th October, 2025:

POCKET POTTERS - HARRY POTTER

Author: J.K. Rowling

Illustrator: Natalie Smillie

Hello boys and girls! My name is Mr Newman. Today I will share an amazing book with you. I really like it!

The book is called Pocket Potters - Harry Potter.

Do you know the story of Harry Potter? It is about a young boy who goes to a magic school! So many amazing and magical things happen. He makes great friends, explores the mysterious school and fights scary monsters. But there are good magical creatures too.

This book isn’t THE Harry Potter book. It’s different. It is shorter. It has fewer words. There are lots of lovely illustrations. The illustrations are drawn by Natalie Smillie. She is the illustrator.

It is like a little encyclopaedia. It’s a book with lots of information about many things from the world of Harry Potter. It is easy to read because it is written in small parts with many pictures. 

The best thing about this book is that every page is different. Every page is interesting. 

I chose this book because I love remembering all the fun facts about Harry Potter and I love learning new information about the story and characters.

I hope you will borrow this book from our library soon!
