Quidditch through the Ages - Wonderful. I love reading about the extensive history of that magical sport we all know or of which we are unaware, and either love or hate or somewhere in between.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - The content is great, but the best parts are Harry and Ron's scribbles.

The most recent Harry Potter books to be released was Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which came out during the summer of 2000. The next book in the series of seven, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix has been slated for a summer/fall 2002 release. The question remains to the many, man fans is what to read in the meantime? Fortunately J. K. Rowling has produced two chapbooks, Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them, whose proceeds go towards Comic Reli...more
These are two fun, silly books that JK Rowling wrote to support a children's literacy charity. They resemble two of the text books that Harry & Co. use during their time at Hogwart's, and are filled with amusing anecdotes and doodlings that are supposed to be from the character's themselves. A wealth of information from Jo's brilliant, creative mind can be read in each of these books, and all of the proceeds for the sale of the books is donated to the charity!
Just in case you didn't know, these are two books from J.K. Rowling's wizarding world. They are the texts that are referenced within the Harry Potter series, much akin to The Tales of Beetle the Bard. The two books are "Quidditch through the Ages" and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." The books are short and sweet, packed with humorous tidbits. What makes these books great though is the world, not the content.

I love this box-set! Absolutely adorable! The books themselves are full of information about creatures and the game you've only gotten in necessity in the books. They are very smart and very humorous- I literally laughed out loud many times & read them aloud to my family! I also own the books separately:) It's a very neat way to showcase them on you're book shelf! And will also make a nice gift! ~8-) and the fact that 100% of the proceeds of buying the books in any form go to help the Comic Reli...more

Untuk melengkapi kisah Harry Potter, JK Rowling menerbitkan dua buku yang cukup familiar bagi Pottermania. Buku pertama adalah buku pelajaran Hogwarts berjudul Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them. Buku kedua merupakan buku Quidditch Through The Ages. Rowling membuat buku ini dengan tujuan amal. Penjualan kedua buku ini hasilnya disumbangkan ke Comic Relief.

These are really good. They're a thousand times more interesting than muggle text books, and contain a lot of good solid (though, sadly, fictional) facts. If you don't want all the facts, though, you can just skim through Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and read the comments, which are done by Harry and Ron. No one would ever dare write in Quiddich Through the Ages , as it belongs to the Hogwarts Library. Basically, these are two interesting, funny, and really good books.
Once again, Ms Rowling displays her carefully culled imagination. In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, "notes" taken by Harry and Ron add hilarious commentary to the text itself. In Quidditch Through the Ages, Rowling provides an in-depth history of the game and its teams. I even found myself wondering what team I would support if I was a witch.
These are great additions to the Harry Potter canon. I LOVED both of these books.

I just want to thank Ninzy Flores for lending me these awesome books. But anyway, it was awesome and it made me feel like I got it straight from Hogwarts! I learned a lot from this book, really. I mean, I never really knew they use cushion charms to feel comfortable while riding a broomstick!
These books were great! From Fantastic Beasts I learned about differnt types of Dragons, Grindilows, Kappas, Hippogryffs, Chimeras, and Sphinxes. From Quidditch I learned about how the snitch was introduced, how different types of brooms handle, and how it became more like the game today.
These were cute books, since they were written like school books, but also written all over like they belonged to someone. I always like reading expanded information on things about the school and the things they learned.
These were just cute and didn't really add anything to my knowledge of HP. I think it's really cool that J.K. Rowling developed this world so much that she could create books like these but they really didn't do anything for me.
Perfect for any Harry Potter buff-gives you great insight into the HP universe, and bits of trivia some less educated Potterheads will say "NO WAY! HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT!" to.
Quidditch through the ages was a little boring but Fantastic beasts and where to find them was AMAZING!!! it had Harry, Ron, and Hermione's opinions on all the creatures.
A leisure time read that augments or insight into the World of Harry Potter. Doesn't move your world any more than the 393 miles it was supposed to move anyway.
I found both of the books when Deathly Hallows came out at a used book store and knew the only way to ease the pain of losing my favorite series was to buy them.
They definitely kept me cozy at night! It was so great to see my favorite characters' handwriting defacing their textbooks. And I loved jumping into these books and learning more about the World I've adored for more than 7 years.

Cute to read, and definitely something that any Harry Potter fan should have on their shelf.
I always keep in mind not to leave my books in the bathroom after reading this
Funny book thats keeps you occupied for a little bit, but nothing more
Well i have to say this isn`t what I expected...but yet...she makes it work.
I loved another look into the world of Harry Potter after I completed book 7.
Thought these were fun reads, and a very cute idea.
