"""...this work is a welcome addition to the library of books that analyze and discuss the Harry Potter series, and has the added benefit of coming from the 'Harry Potter generation,' giving the reader a unique perspective."" - H-Net Reviews (H-USA) ""...A Wizard of Their Age is a considerable read. Doing full justice to topics already well established in the Potter literary landscape, the book offers additional insights that are sometimes weighty and sometimes charmingly glib. With the myriad volumes of sharp and insightful scholarship concerning Harry Potter already written, one might wonder at first glance whether a book authored by undergraduates could possibly shine. The answer is a resounding yes ... the authors within A Wizard of Their Age showcase a devotion to and intimacy with the Harry Potter canon that results in a genuine, thought-provoking, and ultimately refreshing work."" - Children's Literature Association Quarterly ""This compilation of essays provides an excellent introduction to a range of themes and deliberations that often occupy dedicated Potterphiles, from genetics and mathematics to history, politics, and psychology. These multifaceted reflections both complement previous publications and offer unique contributions to the Potterverse knowledge base."" - Danielle Gagne, Alfred University"
