Hogwarts Classics
Author(s): J K Rowling
Two Wizarding classics no Harry Potter fan should be without, now presented in an elegant boxed set. Inside the "Hogwarts Classics" boxed set, readers will find a pair of books treasured by students at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry: "Quidditch Through the Ages," a comprehensive history of the game and its rules (just try to ignore the doodles of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and other Hogwarts students who couldn't resist); and "The Tales of Beedle the Bard," translated from the ancient runes by Hermione Granger, with an introduction, notes, and illustrations by J.K. Rowling and extensive commentary by Albus Dumbledore. From every sale of "Hogwarts Classics," Scholastic will donate a total of twenty percent of the suggested retail sales price of this boxed set to two charities selected by the author J.K. Rowling: Lumos, a charity founded by J.K. Rowling that works to end the institutionalization of children (wearelumos.org), and Comic Relief, a UK-based charity that strives to create a just world free from poverty (www.comicrelief.com).
