I love this one! It has incredible illustrations by Gadi Pollack with many many medrashim included in the drawings. The back has explanations of all of the pictures.
This is great for elementary, high school, or visual adults! It brings the whole Seder to life

My favorite is a small hagada with clear lettering that is easy to hold, easy to read from, and doesn't take up to much room on the table so prevents spills. Very Happy

During the Seder? A small one with clear text to nit take up half the table and keep my place.
To learn from at other times or to glance at during the Seder, I have the hagadda berura and the Dubno Maggid ones. I'm sure there are many many other great ones.
We try to avoid pictures to keep our imaginations as active as possible.

I love the Breslov Hagaddah. I buy a new haggadah with commentary every year, but for the past two years I've stuck with this one. It has such a unique perspective on what yetziyas mitzrayim and the whole haggadah means. It shows you how to bring the concepts of freedom and faith into your own personal life, and how you can experience personal redemption during difficult times, and when you're feeling down. I found it so uplifting, it honestly changed my entire seder night.

Don't know if there's more than one breslov haggadah, this is the one I have.

I have used the malbim for many years. I love the commentary. I was thinking about getting a new one this year so I will watch this tread for ideas. Thanks!

Maxwell House is our family tradition. Because the price is right, we don't have to hang on to them if they get farchazzert after a few years. I detest food-stained books, which not only look awful but also attract bugs.

The new Hogwarts Haggaddah: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d.....lSrch
Because I'm obsessed with all things Potter!

I also have a Rav Kook hagaddah, Rav Nebentzal, Rav Soloveitchik, and a nice collection of illustrated hagaddahs from around the world from different time periods.

Is it available yet? Fellow potterhead here.

I want to look through the illustrations and concepts before buying.

My favorite hagadah does not exist yet. It would have laminated pages for a good yiddishe mama, clear Yiddish translation, and include all the things family says, and in the right places.

Yes, it's already available. It doesn't have any Potter related illistrations, just Pesach ones. Most of the analyses are about the themes that show up in both the Seder and the Harry Potter series: freedom, good vs evil, educating the next generation, etc.

I love the artscroll children's one.
It's clear and fun. 😊
We all enjoy the pictures.

A Night to Remember - contemporary & entertaining ... etc. - & of course the token maxwell house

I was thinking of getting the Artscroll Eishes Chayil haggadah. Anyone have it? Would love to hear reviews.

So make it yourself. Download the text, add in what you want, and take it to a shop to laminate and bind. What could be better than a personalized family Hagadda?
