具体描述
Harry Potter: A History of Magic is the official book of the exhibition, a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between Bloomsbury, J.K. Rowling and the brilliant curators of the British Library. It promises to take readers on a fascinating journey through the subjects studied at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry – from Alchemy and Potions classes through to Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures
Each chapter showcases a treasure trove of artefacts from the British Library and other collections around the world, beside exclusive manuscripts, sketches and illustrationsfrom 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, SteveKloves, 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, paintedcentaurs and a genuine witch’s broomstick, in a book that shows J.K. Rowling’s magical inventions alongside their cultural and historical forebears.This is the ultimate gift for Harry Potter fans, curious minds, big imaginations, bibliophiles and readers around the world who missed out on the chance to see the exhibition in person.

##无法相信我当时就在伦敦，而且睁大眼睛看周围的各种海报，却仍然不知道有这么个展…我的朋友也没跟我说……我就这么错过了！幸好会来纽约………

##超大开本更像是画册！完全就是纪念价值高于阅读价值吧 很佩服英国学者对待哈利波特的那个严谨学术态度……
##看了纪录片，仍然忍不住又读了读书，其实内容是差不多的。希望他能出中文版
##去年元旦假期在都柏林买的，当时激动了好久；后来又在Audible上买了Natalie Dormer朗诵的原声书搭配着一起看。书里把罗琳写作的背景做了一个比较详尽的交待，从药草到巫术，迷信和幻想从来都不只是作者的凭空想象。
##No.25/2020: 没看上展览，只能看书了，值得哈迷收藏。介绍哈利波特相关的历史、藏品和传说，包括神话、草药、炼金、天象、占卜等方面。展示了来自英国图书馆和纽约历史学会收藏的书籍、手稿和与魔法相关的物品，同时也包括《哈利·波特》系列的原始手稿和插画。
