A Guide to the Magical World of Harry
Potter.
Millions of readers around the world have been enchanted
by the magical world of wizardry, spells, and mythical beasts inhabited by
Harry Potter and his friends. But what most readers don’t know is that there
is a centuries-old trove of true history, folklore, and mythology behind
Harry’s fantastic universe.
With The Sorcerer’s Companion, those without access to the Hogwarts
library can school themselves in the fascinating reality behind J.K.
Rowling’s world of magic.
Updated to include Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, The
Sorcerer's Companion allows curious readers to look up anything magical
from the Harry Potter books and discover a wealth of entertaining,
unexpected information. Wands and wizards, boggarts and broomsticks,
hippogriffs and herbology; all have astonishing histories rooted in legend,
literature, or real-life events dating back hundreds or even thousands of
years.Magic wands, like those sold in Rowling’s Diagon Alley, were once
fashioned by Druid sorcerers out of their sacred yew trees. Love potions
were first concocted in ancient Greece and Egypt. And books of spells
and curses were highly popular during the Middle Ages. From Amulets to
Zombies, you’ll also learn:
• how to read tea leaves
• where to find a basilisk today
• how King Frederick II of Denmark financed a war
with a unicorn horn
• who the real Merlin was
• how to safely harvest mandrake root
• who wore the first invisibility cloak
• how to get rid of a goblin
• why owls were feared in the ancient world
• the origins of our modern-day “bogeyman,” and
more.
