Harry Potter – A History Of Magic Story
To JK Rowling magic has always been more than just waving a wand: it’s a window into the hopes and fears of humankind – revealing our deep-seated need to control the uncertainty of life. It’s a theme embedded at the heart of the Harry Potter books, and Rowling shares never before seen items from her personal archive – the drawings, doodles and early drafts that led to her own unmistakable vision.
In Harry Potter – A History of Magic, Rowling ventures behind the scenes of the British Library, revealing the real life counterparts to her fantastical world. From shrieking mandrakes and Elizabethan invisibility spells; to the mystery of the ancient oracle bones of the lost Shang dynasty and the real life search for the Philosopher’s Stone.
It’s the start of a journey that takes us to some of the most magical places in the land. There, we’ll encounter wonderful characters whose belief in magic has never waned – from the folk at the beguiling Museum of Witchcraft in Boscastle, Cornwall, to a pair of real life wizarding wandmakers who’ve honed their craft in England’s ancient woodland.
