Relation Toward Books Harry Potter: A History of Magic (Harry Potter: A History of Magic Exhibition)

Harry Potter: A History of Magic is the official book of the exhibition, a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between Bloomsbury, J.K. Rowling and the brilliant curators of the British Library. It promises to take readers on a fascinating journey through the subjects studied at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry – from Alchemy and Potions classes through to Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures. Each chapter showcases a treasure trove of artefacts from the British Library and other collections around the world, beside exclusive manuscripts, sketches and illustrations from the Harry Potter archive. There's also a specially commissioned essay for each subject area by an expert, writer or cultural commentator, inspired by the contents of the exhibition – absorbing, insightful and unexpected contributions from Steve Backshall, the Reverend Richard Coles, Owen Davies, Julia Eccleshare, Roger Highfield, Steve Kloves, Lucy Mangan, Anna Pavord and Tim Peake, who offer a personal perspective on their magical theme. Readers will be able to pore over ancient spell books, amazing illuminated scrolls that reveal the secret of the Elixir of Life, vials of dragon's blood, mandrake roots, painted centaurs and a genuine witch's broomstick, in a book that shows J.K. Rowling's magical inventions alongside their cultural and historical forebears. This is the ultimate gift for Harry Potter fans, curious minds, big imaginations, bibliophiles and readers around the world who missed out on the chance to see the exhibition in person.

The only way I can describe this book is to say it was like walking around a Harry Potter museum. Or maybe NatGeo meets HP.I have never dragged a book out so long in my life. From the moment it came out, I reserved a chapter per week, sometimes re-listening to the same chapter several times. I'll cherish this book over, and over, and over again. The audio is the way to go!



I received a copy of Harry Potter: A History of Magic from Bloomsbury Australia to review. I read a copy of Harry Potter: A Journey Through a History of Magic last year and even though I liked it, I felt like the target audience was families and children. If you want to check out my review of that edition you can here. But this edition definitely has a lot more information and is targeted toward older readers.I havent been to the exhibition, even though Id love to, so I cant say if all of what

BOOKTUBEATHON 2018 - Challenge #6 Read a book with a beautiful spine.What is there to say?! I absolutely loved it and wished I could have gone to the exhibition....

A gorgeous book that will take you through the Harry Potter: A History of Magic Exhibition.I have had this book in my collection since 2017 (Christmas), but didn't want to read it just yet as I was about to visit the Harry Potter: A History of Magic Exhibition in London on my birthday, or well, I hoped so, my now hubby was keeping very tight lipped about it. Just saying we were going to London for my birthday, which was already a big enough present! And then we went to the exhibition, on my

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the publication of the very first Harry Potter book. Who would have thought that a fantasy story for kids would become such a world-wide phenomenon? Certainly not the numerous publishers who turned J.K. Rowling down. *lol* In honour of the event, the British Library is hosting an exhibition called Harry Potter: A History of Magic and this book basically is a summary of the exhibition for all those who cannot go (or don't want to ever forget).The exhibition

Finally, my copy is on the way to Egypt..As huge Potterhead, I always admire how close The Harry Potter Series is to our Real World.In Egypt we've this saying; No Smoke Without Fire...and this magnificent work of literature has many references to exotic, magical, strange and fantastic subjects, artefacts, creatures and even History..And it doesn't seems all just a work of fantasy.. it feels like it has Roots in real life..Elixir of Life, dragon's blood, mandrake roots, painted centaurs from old
