Book 1. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Large Illustrated Edition

This brilliant new edition of Newt Scamander's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (already a wizarding classic) covers an extraordinary array of magical creatures, from Acromantula to Shrike, along with ten different types of dragon - all beautifully depicted in vibrant colour by the inventive Olivia Lomenick Gill.

Years of remarkable adventures and research by magizoologist Newt Scamander yielded fruitful results that were admired by scientists and enthusiastically received by witches and wizards, and made available to Muggles in the early years of this century. Thanks to the vividly illustrated edition, readers can explore the magical fauna of five continents from the comfort of their own armchair. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a must-read for everyone at Hogwarts!

The new edition contains a completely updated 2017 text, which includes six new beasts that can be found in North America, as well as a new foreword by J.K. Rowling, written from the perspective of Newt Scamander.

Book 2. Harry Potter. A History of Magic

In 2017, to mark the twentieth anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the New-York Historical Society opened an extraordinary exhibition that explored the fascinating and real-life history of the magic that lies at the heart of the Harry Potter series. Featuring a treasure trove of more than 150 magical artefacts from the British Library, the New-York Historical Society, and other world-renowned institutions, this book takes you on a journey through the exhibition and explores in detail the amazing subjects you learn at Hogwarts: potions, spells, caring for magical creatures, and more.

On these pages you can see Leonardo da Vinci's notebook and the oldest atlas of the night sky, look at the bezoar and tusk of a narwhal whale (or maybe it's a unicorn horn?...), look into a tea cup for fortune-telling or a black-black cauldron, and find out where the spell "Abracadabra" comes from... In addition to these incredible exhibits, you will be able to see amazing sketches and manuscripts from J.K. Rowling's personal archive, as well as impressive and never-before-seen original illustrations by artists who worked on the design of the Harry Potter books - Mary Grandpre, Jim Kay and Brian Selznick.
