Now, the classic books from the library of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry--Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages--are available in hardcover in a sturdy boxed gift set. (These books are written by J.K. Rowling herself under the pseudonyms Newt Scamander and Kennilworthy Whisp.) Finally, Muggles will have the chance to discover where the Quintaped lives, what the Puffskein eats, and why it is best not to leave milk out for a Knarl. The Quidditch textbook explains where the Golden Snitch came from, how the Bludgers came into existence, and why the Wigtown Wanderers have pictures of meat cleavers on their clothes. Both books, designed to look like Harry Potter's actual, used Hogwarts textbooks, feature silly scribblings from Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Proceeds from the sale of this gift set will go to improving and saving the lives of children around the world. Harry Potter fans, rejoice! (All ages)
Book Description
When first released to Muggles in March 2001, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages further enlightened Harry Potter fans about the dangers and delights of the wizarding world. Now these two charming works of non-fiction are available in hardcover -- in a special keepsake slipcase edition!

 Makes you feel like your at Hogwarts August 13, 2008
These books are soooo cool and even though they are short you're sure to read them again and again. It was nice to see all the writing they left behind (ron,hermione and harry) Very witty makes you laugh just reading thier inscriptions (and smile fondly) bless them
 fantastic beasts & where to find them; quidditch through the ages July 18, 2008
Both of these books are great for Harry Potter enthusiasts. "Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them" is especially neat because there are notes from Harry, Ron, & Hermoine scribbled in the book that will give you a good laugh. I'd love to see more books like these 2, possibly a Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook. Hopefully, J. K. Rowling will also write the encyclopedia that she hinted at.
Harry Potter Schoolbooks Box Set: From the Library of Hogwarts: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Quidditch Through The June 12, 2008
Any Harry Potter fan will love these books. They are a fun read, inexpensive, and the proceeds go to a great cause. Twenty percent of the retail sales price less taxes from the sale of Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them will go to support children's causes throughout the world through a special Harry's Books fund, helping one of Britian's most successful charities, Comic Relief. See the note from J.K.Rowling just inside the book. I didn't know about this until after I bought the set, but if I had been undecided about the purchase and known this, it would have convinced me to buy. Hope it does the same for you. You will enjoy!
Harry Potter: From the Library at Hogwarts May 4, 2008
What a great read, it really gave the reader a little more insight into the world of Harry Potter. Both books had a wimsical but educational feel to them. I really enjoyed the written inserts of harry and Ron writing in the book, just like any other kid would do. It allowed the books to have a comical touch added. A great read for any age group, now if only there would be "A Hstory of Hogwarts" to go with it , I believe it would complete.
Very good books March 30, 2008

Really nice books with lots of information about Quidditch and all kind of beasts. They are short but you can read them many times. They have some funny comments too.
The books arrived in perfect condition (and I'm an international customer)
