Harry Potter: A History of Magic is the official book of the exhibition, a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between Bloomsbury, J.K. Rowling and the brilliant curators of the British Library. It promises to take readers on a fascinating journey through the subjects studied at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry – from Alchemy and Potions classes through to Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures
Each chapter showcases a treasure trove of artefacts from the British Library and other collections around the world, beside exclusive manuscripts, sketches and illustrationsfrom the Harry Potter archive. There’s also a specially commissioned essay for each subject area by an expert, writer or cultural commentator, inspired by the contents of the exhibition – absorbing, insightful and unexpected contributions from Steve Backshall, the Reverend Richard Coles, Owen Davies, Julia Eccleshare, Roger Highfield, SteveKloves, Lucy Mangan, Anna Pavord and Tim Peake – who offer a personal perspective on their magical theme.Readers will be able to pore over ancient spell books, amazing illuminated scrolls that reveal the secret of the elixir of life, vials of dragon’s blood, mandrake roots, paintedcentaurs and a genuine witch’s broomstick, in a book that shows J.K. Rowling’s magical inventions alongside their cultural and historical forebears.This is the ultimate gift for Harry Potter fans, curious minds, big imaginations, bibliophiles and readers around the world who missed out on the chance to see the exhibition in person.
##去年元旦假期在都柏林买的,当时激动了好久;后来又在Audible上买了Natalie Dormer朗诵的原声书搭配着一起看。书里把罗琳写作的背景做了一个比较详尽的交待,从药草到巫术,迷信和幻想从来都不只是作者的凭空想象。
评分##现实和魔法世界的交叉口。没能看上展览,这本书可以聊以慰藉。

评分##去年底纽约展览没有赶上,幸好出了画册可以大快朵颐。语言用词优美,各种世界各地的魔法史(伪科学史)看得非常得劲。温习了角色人名相关的词源学,有幸看到好多JK罗琳的手稿和画稿,其实JK罗琳在出第一本书前就已经花了五年草蛇灰线,伏脉千里写好了后面所有情节。两位插画师也功力深厚,视觉呈现想象力的功力了得!
评分##超大开本更像是画册!完全就是纪念价值高于阅读价值吧 很佩服英国学者对待哈利波特的那个严谨学术态度……
评分居然是第一个标记“已读”的 !!!T T

评分##访谈录般的叙述风格还比较新颖,从历史的角度分析了整个系列小说的创作来源和各种梗,好多冷知识,有的真心不太有趣,有几个叙述者声音低的一笔还带口音,听得难受。8.2吧,还可以,不是很有趣。
评分##非常多中世纪抄本 非常好的展览
