Harry Potter: A History of Magic is the official book of the exhibition, a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between Bloomsbury, J.K. Rowling and the brilliant curators of the British Library. It promises to take readers on a fascinating journey through the subjects studied at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry – from Alchemy and Potions classes through to Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures
Each chapter showcases a treasure trove of artefacts from the British Library and other collections around the world, beside exclusive manuscripts, sketches and illustrationsfrom the Harry Potter archive. There’s also a specially commissioned essay for each subject area by an expert, writer or cultural commentator, inspired by the contents of the exhibition – absorbing, insightful and unexpected contributions from Steve Backshall, the Reverend Richard Coles, Owen Davies, Julia Eccleshare, Roger Highfield, SteveKloves, Lucy Mangan, Anna Pavord and Tim Peake – who offer a personal perspective on their magical theme.Readers will be able to pore over ancient spell books, amazing illuminated scrolls that reveal the secret of the elixir of life, vials of dragon’s blood, mandrake roots, paintedcentaurs and a genuine witch’s broomstick, in a book that shows J.K. Rowling’s magical inventions alongside their cultural and historical forebears.This is the ultimate gift for Harry Potter fans, curious minds, big imaginations, bibliophiles and readers around the world who missed out on the chance to see the exhibition in person.
##1.伪科学史比科学史还有趣,大英图书馆啥都有;2.Jim Kay为哈利波特系列画的插画太了不起了,罗琳自己的绘画水平也很不错;3.“It's really good. It's better than good. It's special." 4.2018年底购于Kelly & Walsh
评分##现实和魔法世界的交叉口。没能看上展览,这本书可以聊以慰藉。
评分##和另一本差不多名字的书内容差不多。本书是由各个领域的专业人士写的,脉络更为清晰,内容也更简洁。从哈利波特书中讲述一些魔法元素的简要历史,了解下还挺有趣的。还看到我们商朝的甲骨文、后来的医书。千百年前的汉字,现在还能认出一些。文字真的具有穿越时空的力量。
评分##去年底纽约展览没有赶上,幸好出了画册可以大快朵颐。语言用词优美,各种世界各地的魔法史(伪科学史)看得非常得劲。温习了角色人名相关的词源学,有幸看到好多JK罗琳的手稿和画稿,其实JK罗琳在出第一本书前就已经花了五年草蛇灰线,伏脉千里写好了后面所有情节。两位插画师也功力深厚,视觉呈现想象力的功力了得!
评分##港真,JK 画图也很赞啊,全能了。书里还有大英图书馆的索书号,挺用心的。
评分##我还是那句话:“天才作家”。成功也不是一蹴而就,每一步都是几年的铺呈。草蛇灰线,伏脉千里。
评分##因为是好多研究员合写的,所以章节风格差别很大。有很多有趣的小细节。翻译这本书是一种享受。

评分##The font size is a bit too small......
