I love everything about the world of Harry Potter! I have hardbacks of each of the original series (some also in Spanish!), have each of the standalone "text books" originally released, the play script and screenplay and have purchased all of the illustrated editions as they have been released and have started reading them to my 2-year old. Suffice it to say... I'm a huge fan and not afraid to spend some money to own more stuff from this world.That being said, I will admit that when I first saw this... I hesitated buying a copy. For starters, it's listed as "paperback" and I questioned the quality/durability. Also, I really wasn't sure what to expect as this is a collection of stuff, but not really anything NEW by Rowling.
**But when I saw this in a local store, I was impressed by the THICK CARDSTOCK cover and decided that I really DID want to have it added to my collection. It's much more durable than a "paperback" book and is more on par with the quality of a "coffee table" book, so don't be turned off by this detail!***
I was not disappointed! It's colorful, it has both familiar stuff (artwork from the illustrated editions) plus brand new things (handwritten notes, sketches and many other things from Rowling). I've re-read through all of the original stuff some many times (and still love it every time) but it was to have something "new" to enjoy for the first time again.

Harry Potter A Journey Through A History of Magic British Library 9781408890776 Books Reviews
It's a really cool activity book for kids who love the books and movies. I didn't know it was a juvenile version of the UK hardback edition however. It is missing essays, lot's of information, and artifacts when you compare this to the Bloomsbury hardback edition (I purchased it after getting this copy in the mail). Moral of the story, it's a great book for kids, but not adults.
I can't even...This book is AMAZING! It has so, so much wonderful artwork - including JKR's own - and some background on how she wrote the books, the characters etc. Honestly one of the best books I've bought all year and definitely a must-have for any Potterhead!
It is always interesting to read the theories behind the classes in fanfiction, but with an official book detailing the history of the classes, it is absolutely enthralling. By far, my most favorite thing about this book is that there are pages with Rowling' s handwriting and initial thoughts about her series. I don't know what it is that makes it so funny for me, but in the end it is utterly fantastic.
I highly suggest reading this if you're an absolute fan of Harry Potter.
5 stars for the book! Is is beautiful and very interesting. A Harry Potter fan must have! 1 star for the packaging, came in an envelope and not a box and was damaged.
I gave this book to my 7 year old grandson just before he left for NY for Christmas. He spent the afternoon I gave it to him reading it, even when we went out to lunch, reading it in the car and at the restaurant. He even took it to NY with him. It is a beautifully made book, full of fascinating information. You don't have to be a Harry Potter nerd to appreciate it. I like it so much I'm ordering another one for myself.
I don’t care who you are or what degrees you have, I promise this book will tell you something you didn’t know about the subjects taught at Hogwarts!
Nice! This book is similar to the other History of Magic book, but it's more fun and visual so probably intended for a younger, more Harry Potter-focused fan and less on the adult museum goer. But I have both and I like them both; there's plenty of separate information. This book focuses more on the curriculum at Hogwarts, how JK Rowling created it, and various aspects of real life that can be found in it. It's really fun and interesting!
