The Telegraph’s reviewer Sameer Rahim found it insubstantial, saying “There is an element of padding to make it a respectable length and it will barely satisfy the Potter fanatics for more than half-an-hour.”
The Guardian meanwhile are publishing a live account of reading the book, with their enthusiastic reviewer analysing it chapter by chapter. They also acknowledge how short the book is, with a quote from the Waterstone’s book seller who points out that it won’t take long to read.
