Now you can read two of Harry Potter's Hogwarts textbooks. Quidditch Through the Ages describes the evolution of Quidditch through the generations, and includes the rules of the game, a chapter on modern-day play, and a description of every team. A copy of Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them resides in almost every wizarding household in the country. Now, Muggles also have the chance to learn all about Quintapeds, Puffskeins, and Knarls. This is the most complete A-to-Z listing of magical beasts in existence. The braille and PortaBook editions include the comments scribbled into the margins by Harry and his friends. Available in braille (2 volumes) and PortaBook for $8.00.
Now, the classic books from the library of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry-- Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages--are available in hardcover in a sturdy boxed gift set. (These books are written by J.K. Rowling herself under the pseudonyms Newt Scamander and Kennilworthy Whisp.) Finally, Muggles will have the chance to discover where the Quintaped lives, what the Puffskein eats, and why it is best not to leave milk out for a Knarl. The Quidditch textbook explains where the Golden Snitch came from, how the Bludgers came into existence, and why the Wigtown Wanderers have pictures of meat cleavers on their clothes. Both books, designed to look like Harry Potter's actual, used Hogwarts textbooks, feature silly scribblings from Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Proceeds from the sale of this gift set will go to improving and saving the lives of children around the world. Harry Potter fans, rejoice! (All ages)
