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 aficionado. 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.

If you've ever wondered what McGonagall was like before she became the firm but fair Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts (Was she ever in love? How did she form such a strong and trusting friendship with Dumbledore?) Or reflected on what Remus Lupin's childhood might have been like - then From the Wizarding Archive (Volume 2) should go straight to the top of your must-read list. Containing 35 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. From the details that perplex us all - How does the Sorting Hat work, exactly? Was Dolores Umbridge always evil? - To the personal details that bring us closer to J. K. Rowling's writing process - from her least favorite school subject and its impact on Professor Snape's career, to the personal significance of King's Cross and why it's always where the Hogwarts Express departs - this is a veritable treasure trove of answers. With thematically curated chapters and editorial writing linking and exploring the articles in greater depth than ever before, this is essential reading for any Harry Potter affiliated.

The war against Voldemort was not going well. Hermione flicked through the pages of the Daily Prophet, reading the horrific news aloud. Dumbledore had not been seen at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for a long time, but as in all times of war, life went on. Sixth graders learn to apparate - many lose eyebrows or get injured in the process. When they were young, they played games, fought, fell in love, and fell in love... The lessons were difficult, but Harry always received some extraordinary help from the mysterious "Half-Blood Prince."

Harry wants to escape the vicious Dursleys and go to the Quidditch World Cup with Hermione, Ron and the Weasleys. He always hopes to see Qiu Zhang, a girl he has a crush on, and longs to enter a beautiful story with her. He wants to figure out the mysterious event involving the other two magic schools, and the Triwizard Tournament that has not been held again for hundreds of years. He would rather be an ordinary magic school student. But unfortunately, Harry's fate has destined him to be different - even by the standards of the wizarding world. And in this case, being different could be life-threatening...

There is a door at the end of a silent corridor. This scene haunts Harry Potter's dreams, causing him to often wake up in the middle of the night, screaming in fear. Harry Potter is not only facing the upcoming O. W. L. Exam, he also has to face a new school leader with a personality like a poisonous wasp, a vicious and dissatisfied house elf, and the growing threat of a devil who cannot even be named... Harry now faces the untrustworthiness of the wizarding world government, and the incompetence of the Hogwarts school... Despite this, or perhaps because of this, he has gained unprecedented deep friendship and courage from his friends.

In four days, Harry will celebrate his seventeenth birthday and become a true magician. However, he had to leave No. 4 Privet Drive early. The resurgent Voldemort has invaded Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and controlled half of the wizarding world. The situation has taken a turn for the worse... Harry, accompanied by Ron and Hermione, had to flee. They unexpectedly learned that if they could possess the three legendary Deathly Hallows, Voldemort would surely die. However, Voldemort had already begun the search for the Deathly Hallows, and sent many Death Eaters to hunt down Harry...

Harry's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is filled with new troubles and horrors, including an extremely pretentious new professor named Gilderoy Lockhart; a ghost named "Moaning Myrtle" who haunts the girls' bathroom; and unwanted attention from Ron Weasley's little sister Ginny. But when the real trouble begins, none of that seems to matter. Someone, or something, begins turning the students of Hogwarts to stone. Who did this? The Harry Potter that almost everyone at Hogwarts suspected?

For twelve years, the feared fortress of Azkaban has held a famous prisoner named Sirius Black. His crime was to kill thirteen people with a spell. It is said that he was also a loyal follower of Voldemort. He was also involved in the murder of Harry's parents. Now he escaped from prison, and the guards of Azkaban also heard Black talking in his sleep: "He is at Hogwarts... He is at Hogwarts..." Did Sirius want to kill Harry? Even in wizarding school, surrounded by friends, Harry Potter was not safe. Because the most terrifying thing is that there may be a betrayer hidden among them...
