- You're no idiot, of course. J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels have captured the imaginations of readers of all ages who have become enchanted by Harry's story. And like so many other wizards of words, there's more to Rowling's magical storytelling than meets the eye. The Complete Idiot's GuideĀ® to the World of Harry Potter reveals the inspirations and influences behind one of literature's most beloved creations. In this Complete Idiot's GuideĀ®, you get: * An entertaining look at the history, mythology, science, and folklore found in all seven Harry Potter novels. * A guide to the magical creatures populating Harry's world. * A day in the life of a wizard. * Spells, charms, potions, and other magical methods. TERE STOUFFER earned her Master's degree in children's literature at Hollins University. Her 2001 graduate paper detailing the differences between J. K. Rowling's magical world and those of C. S. Lewis and Lewis Carroll established her as one of the first Harry Potter Scholars in the nation. In 2005 and 2006, she was invited to present papers at the prestigious Children's Literature Association International conference. Learn more about the magical world. * Explore the origin of the magical creatures you'll encounter. * Discover what equipment a wizard needs to keep on hand. * Uncover the power of plants and herbs. * Find out which games have been around for centuries, and which are brand-new. * Study the formulas for draughts and potions. * Learn the "King's English" for the meanings of British and wizarding terminology.
