Now, the classic books from the library of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry--Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages--are available in hardcover in a sturdy boxed gift set. (These books are written by J.K. Rowling herself under the pseudonyms Newt Scamander and Kennilworthy Whisp.) Finally, Muggles will have the chance to discover where the Quintaped lives, what the Puffskein eats, and why it is best not to leave milk out for a Knarl. The Quidditch textbook explains where the Golden Snitch came from, how the Bludgers came into existence, and why the Wigtown Wanderers have pictures of meat cleavers on their clothes. Both books, designed to look like Harry Potter's actual, used Hogwarts textbooks, feature silly scribblings from Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Proceeds from the sale of this gift set will go to improving and saving the lives of children around the world. Harry Potter fans, rejoice! (All ages)
Product Description

 A special peek into the world of Harry Potter. October 6, 2008
N. Christensen
These books are a unique gift from the ever creative mind of J. K. Rowling. For the avid Harry Potter enthusiast, these book give you a new perspective on the Harry Potter world. For the Harry Potter fan, the books are well written and fun to read. In addition, I loved the hand written notes from Harry and Ron. Very funny and lots of fun.
Walk in Harry's Shoes for a Great Cause October 6, 2008
Lindsay Johnson (Chicago, IL USA)
Brought to the muggle world for the first time, these two school books bring the reader one step closer to the world of Hogwarts and provide additional information not found in the beloved series. "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is a replica of Harry Potter's own school book and includes his scribbles in the margins as well as those of Ron and Hermione. This book reads a little like an encyclopedia with entries for many of the magical creatures met during the series as well as some that are not included. "Quidditch Through the Ages" is taken straight from the Hogwarts library and includes a list at the beginning of those who have checked it out over the years. This book provides a history of the sport, how it began and evolved. If you ever wondered where the golden snitch came from, this slim book provides all of the answers.
Both books are quick and easy reads that provide a great supplement for the avid Harry Potter fan. Rich with information, they are relatively inexpensive; binding is cardboard, but some effort is made to make them appear more authentic. Introductions by Professor Dumbledore, fantastic sketched by JK Rowling, and commentary from the trio make these books a treasure. If you needed any further inspiration to purchase these books, proceeds benefit Comic Relief, an organization that helps disadvantaged children throughout the world.
Good reading September 27, 2008

I purchased this set to satisfy my curiosity and am not disappointed. The books are easy to read and add to my Potter collection nicely. They provide a little of the backstory I was looking for.
This set would be a great gift for any Potter fan.

Ordered this as a birthday present for my sister. Didn't realize how quick it would come. She got her present almost a week early and was thrilled.
Excellent Harry Potter Fix September 11, 2008
Jennalee Holzschuh
These are wonderful little books that are excellent fillers for your Harry Potter fix while contributing to a great cause. These will fill in some gaps concerning magical creatures and quiddich. I love the introductions by Dumbledore and the comments made by Ron, Harry, and Hermione in the magical creatures book. The quiddich book even has a list of names from previous students who checked it out, many of which are familiar. I was once again amazed by the limitless imagination of J.K. Rowling and her magical world. If you like the Harry Potter books you cannot go wrong with these!
