The Harry Potter Wizarding Almanac: The official magical companion to J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books

Product Information

Seven incredibly talented artists from across the globe contributed to this book, including some Harry Potter illustrator favourites in the form of Levi Pinfold and Tomislav Tomić, whose work you may recognise from the Hogwarts House Editions and Hogwarts Library editions respectively. Rowling's sister Dianne was born at their home when Rowling was 23 months old. The family moved to the nearby village Winterbourne when Rowling was four. She attended St Michael's Primary School, a school founded by abolitionist William Wilberforce and education reformer Hannah More. Her headmaster at St Michael's, Alfred Dunn, has been suggested as the inspiration for the Harry Potter headmaster Albus Dumbledore. I probably most identify with Ron, but I also enjoy the bits with characters you’re supposed to hate, like Aunt Marge and Umbridge.

Although she writes under the pen name J.K. Rowling, pronounced like rolling, her name when her first Harry Potter book was published was simply Joanne Rowling. Anticipating that the target audience of young boys might not want to read a book written by a woman, her publishers demanded that she use two initials, rather than her full name. As she had no middle name, she chose K as the second initial of her pen name, from her paternal grandmother Kathleen Ada Bulgen Rowling. She calls herself Jo and has said, "No one ever called me 'Joanne' when I was young, unless they were angry." Following her marriage, she has sometimes used the name Joanne Murray when conducting personal business. During the Leveson Inquiry she gave evidence under the name of Joanne Kathleen Rowling. In a 2012 interview, Rowling noted that she no longer cared that people pronounced her name incorrectly.Co mě šíleně baví, tak jsou rozkládací strany, díky kterým dostanete úplná panoramata Bradavic a okolí nebo třeba Zapovězeného lesa. How did you approach illustrating your sections of the book? Was illustrating the wizarding world difficult? Rowling was born to Peter James Rowling, a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer, and Anne Rowling (née Volant), on 31 July 1965 in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Bristol. Her mother Anne was half-French and half-Scottish. Her parents first met on a train departing from King's Cross Station bound for Arbroath in 1964. They married on 14 March 1965. Her mother's maternal grandfather, Dugald Campbell, was born in Lamlash on the Isle of Arran. Her mother's paternal grandfather, Louis Volant, was awarded the Croix de Guerre for exceptional bravery in defending the village of Courcelles-le-Comte during the First World War. Bloomsbury and Scholastic have announced a new official companion book to the Harry Potter series. Coming on October 10, 2023, The Harry Potter Wizarding Almanac is a richly illustrated compilation of information from the wizarding world, described on its cover as “the ultimate compendium of wizarding lists, charts, maps and all things magical!”

The only official companion to the Harry Potter stories – the ultimate compendium of wizarding lists, charts, maps and all things magical! da su mi bili potrebni dani usresređenosti na ovu lepotu, za razliku od knjiga koje se mogu pročitati za par sati. Ovo delo zahteva punu pažnju i vreme zato što ima jako mnogo informacija koje prati širok dijapazon ilustracia u najsitnijim detaljima. You can also explore the rest of Hogwarts at Hallowe’en here too, from the student’s feast in the Great Hall to all the work the house-elves get up to in the kitchens to make this night extra special – with everything finished off with some floating pumpkins and fluttering bats. Petrifyingly perfect. Uronićete i u školski kalendar svakog tromesečja podeljenog na godišnja doba, u adekvatnim crtežima i boji, otpočetim školskom himnom. I have always done drawing and making picture books, from a very young age. I studied illustration at Glasgow School of Art. I love all sorts of illustrators, and I am especially drawn to vintage children’s books that use limited colours, such as those by Roger Duvoisin and Nathalie Parain.Some of the outfits were very easy to draw because the descriptions are quite detailed and evocative, such as Professor Trelawney’s or Umbridge’s. Others in my mind had been influenced by the films, so I had to really remember how I used to imagine them before the films were made, such as Hermione’s dress at the Yule Ball. At first, I set myself the challenge to make this entire spread using just three colours, but it soon became apparent I had to be more truthful to certain items of clothing, such as Ron’s maroon jumper. I loved drawing Dobby’s section on this. It was all a lot of fun to draw, actually! Tu su ,na kraju i kućne štetočine, zmajevi, projekti i čuveni Hagridovi ljubimci pa zatim još jedno otvaranje stranica knjige koje čine mapu Začarane šume do samih Fantastičnih zveri i Sovine pošte.

Na samom početku tog poglavlja postoje stranice koje otvarate i pred očima vam se nalazi dvorac sa potpunom mapom objekata vešto iscrtanom pa lako stičete orijentaciju gde se nalazi stadion za kvidič, Hogsmid, Vrišteća koliba i mnogo šta drugo u odnosu na sam zamak. Pročitaćete istorijat šešira koji svrstava u kuće i detalje o ceremoniji razvrstavanja kao i sitnice o svakoj kući-glavne osobine koje odlučuju da li toj kući pripadate, osnivače, duh, boje, relikvije , element i zver.

We all get a little lost sometimes, and in the wizarding world, even more so than usual. Thankfully, the Almanac is here to help, and takes us on a few ‘unguided tours’ of key locations across the stories. Above, the Almanac artist Peter Goes has – rather brilliantly – made sense of the chaos that is Hogwarts castle, detailing its many floors and secret passages in this pièce de résistance. Lift the lid on everything you ever needed to know about the world of Harry Potter with the first official magical companion to J.K. Rowling’s series.
