4-6J. K. Rowling's Wizarding World series.
Ten present-tense sections summarize basic facts about individual characters and the plot in the first film of J. K. Rowling's new franchise (but beware of spoilers!). While multi-page sections on the major characters are useful, secondary character spreads aren't very illuminating, nor are the appended names and pictures of particular beasts. Quotes and plentiful photos should make this book of high interest to Wizarding World fans.
