The New York Times bestseller, now fully updated to include Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Who was the real Nicholas Flamel? How did the Sorcerer’s Stone get its power? Did J. K. Rowling dream up the terrifying basilisk, the seductive veela, or the vicious grindylow? And if she didn’t, who did?
Millions of readers around the world have been enchanted by the magical world of wizardry, spells, and mythical beasts inhabited by Harry Potter and his friends. But what most readers don’t know is that there is a centuries-old trove of true history, folklore, and mythology behind Harry’s fantastic universe. Now, with The Sorcerer’s Companion, those without access to the Hogwarts Library can school themselves in the fascinating reality behind J. K. Rowling’s world of magic.
Newly updated to include Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, The Sorcerer’s Companion allows curious readers to look up anything magical from the Harry Potter books and discover a wealth of entertaining, unexpected information. Wands and wizards, boggarts and broomsticks, hippogriffs and herbology, all have astonishing histories rooted in legend, literature, or real-life events dating back hundreds or even thousands of years. Magic wands, like those sold in Rowling’s Diagon Alley, were once fashioned by Druid sorcerers out of their sacred yew trees. Love potions were first concocted in ancient Greece and Egypt. And books of spells and curses were highly popular during the Middle Ages. From Amulets to Zombies, you’ll also learn:
•how to read tea leaves
•where to find a basilisk today
•how King Frederick II of Denmark financed a war with a unicorn horn
•who the real Merlin was
•how to safely harvest mandrake root
•who wore the first invisibility cloak
•how to get rid of a goblin
•why owls were feared in the ancient world
•what really lies beyond the Veil
•the origins of our modern-day “bogeyman,” and more.
A spellbinding tour of Harry’s captivating world, The Sorcerer’s Companion is a must for every Potter aficionado’s bookshelf.

Summary: Good But
Comment: Very indepth but doesent really relate back to Harry Potter too much. Takes a lite refrence and relates it to something that isnt in Harry Potter
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great book!
Comment: I bought this book for my 9 year old nephew, who is a harry potter freak, and he loved it!
Customer Rating:
Summary: HMMM.
Comment: Definately doesn't compare to J.K. Rowlings writings. I'm not a fan of reading books based upon others. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by J.k. Rowling is more like a guide to Harry Potter. :)

Summary: Magical Breif Encyclopedia
Comment: I do like the book, very interesting indeed.
Although I am still waiting for a book that talks especifically about Harry Potter's characters and sites. That it'll work , nothing like an aside book to keep cheking a quick review of a character you just don't remember in that moment, even a spell or a plant or an animal, whatever it is. Oh well.
Customer Rating:
Summary: LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK
Comment: I can't say enough about this book, I have bought a copy for every Harry Potter fan I know! This book is a must have for anyone interested in all the myths and legends behind the books. I had gotten the book from the library awhile ago and just had to own it. It is a great companion book for any Harry Potter fan! Great detail! My son has used this book on several of his school papers already...just a wonderful read!
