In every culture, in every age, in every place and, probably, in every heart, there is magic.This non-fiction short-form eBook features content which is adapted from the audiobookHarry Potter: A History of Magic– inspired by the British Library exhibition of the same name.Potions have been made for thousands of years – associated with bubbling pots and mysterious ingredients, they have been brewed to make medicines, drugs and poisons. Harry Potter became much better at Potions with a little help from the Half-Blood Prince. Plants have also been important components of medicines as much as myth-making and magic. A source of danger as well as a means of overcoming obstacles, Herbology was a subject which had a major bearing on Harry’s key decisions and mistakes in the wizarding world.
