Reseña del editor

Harry Potter. Rubeus Hagrid. Severus Snape. What do they have in common? Well, yes, they're all wizards, but just as importantly, each of them is an accomplished spy. And while we Muggles may not be able to use magic in our own adventures, we can learn a lot from the wizarding world in terms of secret-agent techniques! The book you hold in your hands will teach you the ways of the world-class spy, with Harry Potter and all his friends (and enemies) as your guide. Along the way, Potter-themed activities start you on the way to becoming a spy yourself.   Do you solemnly swear that you are ready for adventure and to become a spy?  If so, you've come to the right place--your Hogwarts course in espionage awaits!
