This eBook short examines the colourful characters and curious incidents of the real history of magic, and how they relate to the Hogwarts lesson subjects of Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts.
内容简介
This non-fiction short-form eBook features content which is adapted from the audiobook Harry Potter: A History of Magic- inspired by the British Library exhibition of the same name.
How to become invisible, to make someone fall in love with you, to transform into another creature: these are all things that people have believed in, yearned for, or feared, throughout history. Spells and charms have captured the imagination for hundreds of years. Warding off evil is also something that has concerned people throughout history. From werewolves to all manner of snakes in the wizarding world, you'd learn how to face a number of strange and frightening forces in Defence Against the Dark Arts classes.
The history of magic is as long as time and as wide as the world. In every culture, in every age, in every place and, probably, in every heart, there is magic.

Then she spoke, in a deep, hoarse voice. 'You are very near your goal. The quickest way is past me.''So... so will you move, please?' said Harry, knowing what the answer was going to be.'No,' she said, continuing to pace. 'Not unless you can answer my riddle. Answer on your first guess – I let you pass. Answer wrongly – I attack. Remain silent – I will let you walk away from me, unscathed.'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
给这本书评了5.0journey seriesWhen J.K. Rowling was planning how a wizard or witch would access Diagon Alley, she created a six-stage drawing, like a cartoon strip. The first stage shows an ordinary brick wall with an old metal dustbin in front of it. In the second, an umbrella touches a brick in the middle of the wall. In the third, the bricks start to spin. In the fourth and fifth, a round opening forms and you can begin to see the old-fashioned street. Finally, there is a fully formed archway, and Diagon Alley is revealed
给这本书评了5.0英文The reason why the centaur is clothed rather than bare-chested is because the Anglo-Saxons liked to draw people in the costumes of their own day. So in this case they reproduced Anglo-Saxon dress and hairstyles, but with added horse hooves and tail.
