Chocolate by Selena Gallagher
Pets at Hogwarts by Ashmita Shanthakumar
Reader’s Guides:
These guides were originally written in March of 2002. Since that time, a few edits were made here and there but basically the text remained the same. To get ready for this Canon Celebration, our editors have been revising each one. We’ve added fan artwork to the Guide which illustrates the text. At the bottom in the Commentary section we’ve added a gallery of additional artwork. So even if you’ve read our guides before, please give them another look. And if you’re doing a re-read of the first book, have the Guide to each chapter open as you go! I’m sure you’ll find a lot of information you didn’t know.

Calendars
Fitting the books into the real-life calendars isn’t easy! In fact, it’s impossible. But that didn’t stop us:
Day by day calendar of events in the book
Essays
Where Does the Name “Knight Bus” Come From? by Morag Traynor and Susan
Harry’s Things by Morag Traynor
Interesting Artwork
We have hundreds and hundreds of pieces of fan artwork in our collection. Some subjects get a lot of depictions — Diagon Alley is a favorite topic, for example, and, well, of course it is! But there are a few pieces which illustrate more unusual moments in the text. Here are some examples:
Wendelin the Weird enjoyed being burned so much that she allowed herself to be
caught no less than forty-seven times in various disguises. (PA1)
Harry had never met a vampire, but he had seen pictures of them
in his Defence Against the Dark Arts classes, and Black, with his waxy white skin, looked just like one. (PA3)
Percy pompously greeting Harry – and Fred & George going over the top imitating him (PA4)
