Now you can read two of Harry Potter's Hogwarts textbooks--Quidditch
Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,
penned by J.K. Rowling herself under two delightful noms de plume. All
proceeds from the sale of these 64-page paperbacks are being donated to
Comic Relief, an organization which "exists to tackle poverty and
promote social justice by helping disadvantaged people in the UK and
Africa to realize their aspirations and potential."
Quidditch Through the Ages--charmingly reproduced as if it
were a facsimile of the copy from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry--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. Fantastic Beasts
and Where to Find Them is the most complete A to Z listing of
magical beasts that exists, and includes their classifications. From
Basiliks to Jarveys to Werewolves, this book covers all the magical
beasts you've only heard of and will introduce you to a host of new ones
you haven't.
