Watch Harry Potter™ as he bravely takes on the fire-breathing Hungarian Horntail Dragon as the first task of the Triwizard Tournament. He has written more than 100 books for young readers—from board books to middle-grade novels—featuring some of today’s most popular characters, including Batman, Superman, Scooby-Doo, Charlie Brown, Harry Potter, and more. Starting at one edge, attach the brown felt cover to the outside of the Monster Book in small sections, using a glue gun. It’s this daunting prospect that leads to the Worst Camping Trip Ever — though of course, it’s brightened somewhat by the presence of the ever-faithful Ron and Hermione.

The exhibition was forced to close its doors a day after opening after London was put on tighter Covid-19 restriction. Then — if you're still thirsting for more of the Wizarding World — you can see where your interests most strongly lie (whether it's in magizoology or Quidditch, for instance), and start again there.Play solo or compete against a friend in 3 games: shoot the Quaffle through the goal hoops, launch the bludgers at the beater and catch the Golden Snitch™. The Monster Book of Monsters [3] by Edwardus Lima [1] was a particularly vicious sentient textbook that was used in Care of Magical Creatures while Rubeus Hagrid (who thought the book's aggressive nature was amusing) was the Professor for that subject at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

But if you're interested in the academic side of Quidditch, Rowling's got you covered with Quidditch Through the Ages, which will tell you all that you ever wanted to know about the history and rules behind Quidditch. Rubeus Hagrid gives one to Harry Potter for his 13th birthday and later it’s used by Hogwarts’ third year students in the Care for Magical Creatures course. Meanwhile, Ron and Hermione are squabbling even more than usual over their respective pets, Crookshanks the cat and Scabbers the rat.After receiving a secondhand textbook filled with tips and tricks from the mysterious “Half-Blood Prince,” Harry shines under the tutelage of their new potions professor Slughorn. Hermione, meanwhile, is jealous of Harry’s newfound academic success, and attempts to uncover the Prince’s identity to prove he’s crooked. Comic relief comes in the form of moronic, egocentric professor Gilderoy Lockhart, and toilet ghost Moaning Myrtle — who, in true Rowling fashion, ends up being key to the central plot twist of the story. Sorcerer’s Stone (or Philosopher’s Stone, as it’s titled outside of the US) also perfectly balances exciting action with touching emotion, as Harry finds a true family in Ron and Hermione after years of misery with the Dursleys.

The book was quite informative, but one usually found it difficult to access the information within due to the book's unfortunate tendency to try and bite off the reader's fingers.

An extension of the wizarding world [7] from the Harry Potter film series and directed by David Yates, the film stars Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Dan Fogler, Samantha Morton, Ezra Miller, Colin Farrell, Carmen Ejogo, Faith Wood-Blagrove, Jenn Murray, Jon Voight and Ron Perlman.Harry uses his Invisibility Cloak to secretly visit the restricted section of the library, where books come alive! From the corrupting influence of a locket that causes Ron to abandon his friends, to the tragic prophecy that Harry uncovers through more of Snape’s past memories, this book truly tests the reader’s tolerance for beloved characters in distress.

During the mysterious Calamity which happened across the wizarding world in the 2010s, copies of The Monster Book of Monsters appeared throughout the world as Foundables, with volunteer wizard and witches employed by the Statute of Secrecy Task Force having to use magic to sort them out. In the Harry Potter universe, the book is a required textbook for first-year Hogwarts students, having been an approved textbook since its first publication. Ever been curious about what the Hufflepuff common room looks like (it was never described in the books themselves)? Of course, you can choose to simply watch the continuation of the Wizarding World on-screen — but reading the screenplays of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: the Original Screenplay and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald — The Original Screenplay will undoubtedly give you that extra level of depth and insight into the characters.Today, Quidditch is an actual sport played at over 100 colleges in the United States — such is the strength of the grip that it's exerted on our public imagination. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban also features Professor Remus Lupin, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and a school friend of Harry’s late father. Akin to several projectiles in the game, Expelliarmus can be cast to deflect its main attack of spitting out a wad of pages in an high overhead arch at the player. Yes, even in all the grandeur, Rowling never loses sight of what’s true to life — Goblet of Fire demonstrates this most aptly.
