I loved the book. About to re-read it as I read it last month.
I liked the character James but my favorite new character is actually Zane. Although Professor Franklyn is interesting. I probably love the Technomancy the most. It was very interesting. I got so caught up in reading it I couldn't put it down. You started to forget Rowling didn't write it.
I like the Technomancy to.Its cool to know how magic works.
Interestingly, the concept of Technomancy was one of those great dividers-- approximately half of the readers really liked it, while the other half hated it. There didn't seem to be much of a middle ground. For myself, I think the concept adds a whole new level of believability to the magical world. Surely, there would be witches and wizards who would study "the science of magic". Still, I suspect that those who didn't like the class were those who preferred magic to be a purely nebulous, mystical sort of thing. I can understand both perspectives. What did you all think?
I'm glad you included it Geo. But then again, I'm a detail-oriented kinda gal who likes to know how things work. It's certainly a more useful class than say Divination! lol
To me it makes things more interesting, to break something down and know how it works give you a better understanding of how and why it works. I think without Technomancy there would be no magic because they would have wrote the spell books, in the James Potters universe that is.
You would have to get an feel for Technomancy I think before you could create new spells. Which is something I don't think every witch or wizard could do.
*SPOILERS!* *SPOILERS!* *SPOILERS!* *SPOILERS!*I liked the whole chapter when they trick Prescott and his cameramen into believing that Hogwarts was a school to learn tricks. That was pretty funny. :D
I also liked Technomancy. The concepts were really interesting. It makes it more real and believable when there is a an explanation to it.
