Harry Potter: A History of Magic by J.K. Rowling, British Library

4.0

This book was a beautiful insight into the making of Harry Potter. It allowed me to see just how much effort J.K. Rowling put into each of her stories and it was fascinating, (as a long time fan) to experience all her hard work "first hand". I was captivated by the articles and all of the historical elements that I, myself was unaware of. The illustrations in this book were spectacular and I found myself going back and looking at them again and aging. The only issue I had with the book was at times I felt like some of the articles didn't fit in the section they were under but other than that I loved this book.
It allowed me to expand my love for J. K. Rowling's world and see it from a new perspective. I wish I had the opportunity to visit the exhibit in person but this companion book served well as an alternative. I would recommend this book to any lovers of the Harry Potter Franchise, who love history and want to know more about the making of the story.
