HONOR’s plug is, sadly, USB-A rather than USB-C, and it won’t fast charge other USB Power Delivery gadgets, such as your laptop. However, the HONOR Magic 5 Pro does work with third-party USB PD chargers and has a USB-C port. We clocked a slightly lower 25W into the phone with a USB PD charger, taking ~12 minutes to 25%, ~27 minutes to 50%, ~40 minutes to 75%, and around an hour to full. Slower than SuperCharge, then, but not too bad overall if you forget your HONOR adapter.

Reviews for "From Druidic Rituals to Secret Potions: The Unseen World of Asterix"
- John - 2 stars - I must say I was very disappointed with "Asterix and the secret magical brew". As a long-time fan of the Asterix series, I found this installment to be lacking in terms of both humor and storyline. The jokes felt forced, and the plot was convoluted and confusing. It felt like the authors were trying too hard to recapture the magic of the original books and ended up overcomplicating things. Overall, it just didn't live up to my expectations.
- Sarah - 1 star - I couldn't finish reading "Asterix and the secret magical brew". The illustrations were subpar compared to previous books, and the writing felt rushed and uninspired. The characters lacked depth, and the dialogue was flat. It pains me to say this as a longtime fan, but this installment just fell flat. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable Asterix experience.
- Mark - 3 stars - While "Asterix and the secret magical brew" had some redeeming qualities, such as the beautiful artwork, I found the storyline to be weak and lacking in substance. The jokes didn't land as well as in previous books, and the pacing felt off. It lacked the charm and wit that made me fall in love with the series in the first place. It's not a terrible book, but it definitely didn't live up to the high standards set by its predecessors.
