Kedavra to love charms. Learn how the European prosecution of

witches led to the Statute of Secrecy, meet the real Nicholas

Flamel, see how the Malfoys stack up against Muggle English

aristocrats, and compare the history of the wizarding world to

real-life history.

　?Gives you the historical backdrop to Harry Potter's

world

　?Covers topics ranging from how real British boarding

schools compare to Hogwarts to how parchment, quills, and scrolls

and History is an essential companion for every Harry Potter
