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)

Reader Reviews
A must-have for any Harry Potter fan!, September 21, 2003

The inestimable J.K. Rowling produced this cute pair of books for the charity Comic Relief. Written in a tongue in cheek manner, these two books claim to come directly from Hogwarts! Quidditch Through the Ages is a library book that gives the evolution of Quidditch from its inception, and tells everything about how it's played. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a textbook that discusses magical creatures in J.K. Rowlings world, treating them all most seriously, and telling you a surprising amount about them. These are great books, and a must-have for any Harry Potter fan! They are good, light-hearted books that give the reader a good glimpse into J.K. Rowling's world. (Plus, I must say that I learned a lot about Quidditch!) I highly recommend these books!
