Description
Each chapter showcases a treasure trove of artefacts from the British Library and other collections around the world, beside exclusive manuscripts, sketches and illustrations from the Harry Potter archive. There 's also a specially commissioned essay for each subject area by an expert, writer or cultural commentator, inspired by the contents of the exhibition absorbing, insightful and unexpected contributions from Steve Backshall, the Reverend Richard Coles, Owen Davies, Julia Eccleshare, Roger Highfield, Steve Kloves, Lucy Mangan, Anna Pavord and Tim Peake, who offer a personal perspective on their magical theme.
Readers will be able to pore over ancient spell books, amazing illuminated scrolls that reveal the secret of the Elixir of Life, vials of dragon 's blood, mandrake roots, painted centaurs and a genuine witch 's broomstick, in a book that shows J.K. Rowling 's magical inventions alongside their cultural and historical forebears.

This richly researched and fascinating exploration of magical history is written by the British Library 's curatorial team and essayists Steve Backshall, the Reverend Richard Coles, Owen Davies, Julia Eccleshare, Roger Highfield, Steve Kloves, Lucy Mangan, Anna Pavord and Tim Peake.
Beautiful design, magical Jim Kay illustrations and unseen treasures from J.K. Rowling 's own archive combine in this unique souvenir of the British Library 's much anticipated exhibition - now available in paperback!
