THE SORCERER'S COMPANION : A GUIDE TO THE MAGICAL WORLD OF HARRY POTTER
New York : Broadway Books, 2004.
IL YA
ISBN 0767919440
Do you love the Harry Potter series?  Are you waiting with baited breath for the next installment?  I know I am.  But while reading the books, I sometimes want to know a bit more about some of the magical things I am reading about.  So what do I do?  I consult The Sorcerer's Companion.  Here I can find facts, fiction and folklore of the magic symbols used in the books.  Anyone who thinks that grims, grindylows, hinkypunks, and hippogriffs were invented by J. K. Rowling, might be surprised to know that they have been around for ages.  Jam-packed with great information that will enhance your understanding of the Harry Potter books, this is sure to keep you reading for hours.
