Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
The most complete A to Z listing of magical beasts available! From Hippogriffs and Blast-ended Screwts to Unicorns and Hungarian Horntails, this book covers all the magical beasts you've ever heard of — and will introduce you to a host of ones you haven't. It's on the required reading list for all Hogwarts students, and a much-revered favorite of Hagrid, Hogwarts' groundskeeper and Care of Magical Creatures teacher. This edition is an exact facsimile of Harry Potter's own copy, including his and his friends' notes in the margins.

    Quidditch Through the Ages
    This book starts with the history of broomsticks, describes the evolution of Quidditch through the generations, and includes the rules of the game as well as a chapter on modern-day play. It is the ultimate resource for anyone interested in the magical world and its most popular sport, and it is charmingly reproduced as it were a facsimile of the very copy from the library of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
