About this book
If you've ever wondered what happened when Vernon Dursley first met James Potter, wanted to know more about the magical properties of wand cores or pondered whether the Malfoys were always wealthy and firmly anti-Muggle - then From the Wizarding Archive (Volume 1) should go straight to the top of your must-read list. Containing 45 articles written by J.K. Rowling for the original Pottermore website, Harry PotterTM fans everywhere are in for a treat.
If there's one thing Harry Potter fans have in common (apart from impeccably good taste), it's questions... so many questions. How do the Hogwarts staff know where every magical child lives, and are mistakes ever made when sending out admittance letters? Why don't wizards just use phones? From the history of wizarding schools to background on magical transportation - this is a veritable treasure trove of answers.
With editorial writing linking and exploring the articles in greater depth than ever before, plus an exclusive foreword by Evanna Lynch, this is essential reading for any Harry Potter afficionado.
These articles were originally featured on pottermore.com and are still free, and available to read in English, on the official Wizarding World website.
Note: This eBook is available as two separate volumes or as a combined edition. The articles in Volume 2 were previously published as three Pottermore Presents eBooks. If you already own those, you might prefer to read this edition, From the Wizarding Archive (Volume 1), instead of the combined eBook.
Pottermore Limited will be donating author royalties to the Lumos Foundation on behalf of J.K. Rowling, expected to be equivalent to a minimum of £1 (or the local currency equivalent) for each copy of From the Wizarding Archive sold.
The Lumos Foundation is a registered charity in England and Wales with charity number 1112575.
