On July 7th, 2007, a collective hush will fall around the world,
millions of people will turn off their TVs, and adults and
children alike will immerse themselves in the seventh
and final book of Harry Potter adventures,
Hogwarts, and the wizarding world….
…But while you’re waiting for the release of the as-yet untitled Harry Potter Book 7, George Beahm’s Fact, Fiction, and Folklore in Harry Potter’s World: An Unofficial Guide (ISBN 1-57174-440-1) is the perfect book to satisfy a Muggle’s appetite!
It’s filled with over 300 separate entries on witches and wizards, malevolent monsters, long-leggety beasties, enchanting curiosities, arresting artifacts, and magical miscellany connected to the Harry Potter universe.
Arranged alphabetically from Abraxan to zombie, Falco Aesalon to Willy Widdershins, amulets to wizard’s wireless, and Slug and Jiggers Apothecary to Zonko’s Joke shop, all the critters and wizards, artifacts and places about which to refresh your memory before delving into the sixth Potter novel are here. This is the most reader-friendly and complete Potter companion available, inclusive right up through the first five Harry Potter novels.
It’s a visual treat as well, with illustrations by five-time Hugo Award-winning illustrator Tim Kirk, formerly of Disney’s famed Imagineering division, and by Britton McDaniel. Author George Beahm has written over 20 books, including companion-style books on Stephen King, Anne Rice, Michael Jordan, and his first Potter companion book Muggles and Magic which has sold over 30,000 copies.
Educational doesn’t get more entertaining than this! Even more mature muggles reading to their children and grandchildren will appreciate having their imaginations rekindled with the history, legends and myths explored in Fact, Fiction, and Folklore in Harry Potter’s World: An Unofficial Guide.
