K. Rowling wrote two companion volumes which appear as the titles of Harry’s school books within the novels: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages. This book has all sorts of captivating (or perhaps I should say bewitching) detail about alchemy, fortune-telling, invisibility spells, oracle bones, witches’ cauldrons and early illustrated herbals.

These are relatively large books with plenty of colour illustrations, available both in hardcover and paperback. So far Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets have been released.

Rowling is the author of the seven Harry Potter books, which have sold over 600 million copies, been translated into over 80 languages, and made into eight blockbuster films.
