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 Potions and Herbology.
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.
Potions have been made for thousands of years - associated with bubbling pots and mysterious ingredients, they have been brewed to make medicines, drugs and poisons. Harry Potter became much better at Potions with a little help from the Half-Blood Prince.
Plants have also been important components of medicines as much as myth-making and magic. A source of danger as well as a means of overcoming obstacles, Herbology was a subject which had a major bearing on Harry's key decisions and mistakes in the wizarding world.
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.

给这本书评了5.0英文But while some pesky creatures associated with herbology, like the gnomes of the wizarding world, still sit in our gardens, mandrakes had long receded in our memories before the Harry Potter stories brought them back into popular consciousness.Herbology was, historically, an area of study for the rich but was also essential to the poor. For Harry, it is a subject which has a bearing on some of his key decisions – and mistakes. Pomona Sprout was named for the Roman goddess of abundance, and Herbology lessons certainly prove fruitful for Harry, Ron and Hermione.
