Harry Potter lives in a world that is both magical and
historical. Hogwarts pupils ride an old-fashioned steam train to
school, notes are taken on parchment with quill pens, and Muggle
legends come to life in the form of werewolves, witches, and
magical spells. This book is the first to explore the real history
in which Harry''s world is rooted.
Did you know that bezoars and mandrakes were fashionable
luxury items for centuries? Find out how Europeans first developed
the potions, spells, and charms taught at Hogwarts, from Avada
Kedavra to love charms. Learn how the European prosecution of
witches led to the Statute of Secrecy, meet the real Nicholas
Flamel, see how the Malfoys stack up against Muggle English
aristocrats, and compare the history of the wizarding world to
real-life history.
?Gives you the historical backdrop to Harry Potter''s
world
?Covers topics ranging from how real British boarding
schools compare to Hogwarts to how parchment, quills, and scrolls
used in the wizarding world were made
?Includes a timeline comparing the history of the wizarding
world to Muggle "real" history
Filled with fascinating facts and background, Harry Potter
and History is an essential companion for every Harry Potter
fan.
