The Ultimate Wizarding World: History of Magic, Hardcover

The Ultimate Wizarding World History of Magic documents the history of the wizarding world of Harry Potter, from the earliest recorded instance of magic to the years following the defeat of Voldemort. Harry Potter's adventures are built upon a rich tapestry of historical events dating back as far as the first century, during which an ancient Greek wizard known only as Herpo the Foul created the first usable Horcrux. It was this successful venture nearly two millennia ago that enabled the evil wizard Voldemort to create one Horcrux for each piece of his splintered soul.

Informed by dozens of different official sources, and supplemented with family trees and informative timelines, The Ultimate Wizarding World History of Magic provides all the information fans could want to fill in the holes of the Harry Potter narrative, while shining a light on everything that makes the wizarding world feel so complex, deep and infused with a sense of mythic grandeur. This extraordinary tome includes a pullout gatefold showcasing an incredibly detailed timeline of wizarding world history.
