Resumen del Editor
The history of magic is as long as time and as wide as the world. In every culture, in every age, in every place and, probably, in every heart, there is magic.
Harry Potter: A History of Magic reveals some of the hidden stories behind real-world magic and explores some of J.K. Rowling's magical inventions alongside their folkloric, cultural and historical forebears.
Narrator Natalie Dormer and a host of experts will take you on an audio journey like no other; from ancient China, to a 14th-century apothecary's shop, on to the Salem witch trials and beyond. They delve into a rich body of writings about magic and explore intriguing artefacts to bring to life deep-rooted ideas of mysticism from around the world.
Along the way, you can listen for handy tips on how to capture a basilisk, make yourself invisible or create your very own philosopher's stone. You'll hear about the dozens of drafts and drawings that went into J.K. Rowling's writing process and enjoy exclusive interviews with Jim Dale, Stephen Fry and illustrator Jim Kay, who all share their experiences of working on these incredible stories.
The extraordinary and thought-provoking tales in this audiobook are perfect for anyone who wants to know a little more about magic and the wizarding world.
In this audio documentary, Natalie Dormer takes you on a spellbinding exploration of the real-world history that influenced J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter stories. While not written by J.K. Rowling herself, nor taught by the slumbering Professor Binns, the documentary is inspired by the exhibition held at the British Library in 2017, which came to the New-York Historical Society in 2018. This audiobook is packed full of exclusive interviews, folkloric facts, and musings on intriguing artifacts and mysticism from around the world.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time
The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Historia
Coming face to face with an important illuminated manuscript in the original is rather like meeting a very famous person. We may all pretend that a well-known celebrity is no different from anyone else, and yet there is an undeniable thrill in actually meeting and talking to a person of world stature. The idea for this book, which is entirely new, is to invite the listener into an intimate conversation with a selection of the most famous manuscripts in existence and to let each of those manuscripts illuminate the Middle Ages and sometimes the modern world too.

Before Isaac Newton became the father of physics, an accomplished mathematician, or a leader of the scientific revolution, he was a boy living in an apothecary's house, observing and experimenting, recording his observations of the world in a tiny notebook. As a young genius living in a time before science as we know it existed, Isaac studied the few books he could get his hands on, built handmade machines, and experimented with alchemy.

The first robot to walk the earth was a bronze giant called Talos. This wondrous machine was created not by MIT Robotics Lab, but by Hephaestus, the Greek god of invention, more than 2,500 years ago. In this groundbreaking account of the earliest expressions of the timeless impulse to create artificial life, Adrienne Mayor tells the fascinating story of how ancient Greek, Roman, Indian, and Chinese myths envisioned artificial life, automata, self-moving devices, and human enhancements - and how these visions relate to and reflect the ancient invention of real animated machines.

Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

When is a story more than just a story? When does it become a myth? When it holds a piece of truth about our history, our morality, and the cosmos. Throughout history, humankind has used stories to explain the unknown. From the cycle of the moon to the changing of the seasons, tales about supernatural beings and events have served to account for the purpose of the cosmos. But mythology isn’t entirely fiction. These stories have been passed down for generations for a reason.

Many ancient civilizations have influenced and inspired people in the 21st century. The Greeks and Romans continue to fascinate the West today. But of all the world's civilizations, none have intrigued people more than the Mayans, whose culture, astronomy, language, and mysterious disappearance all continue to captivate people. In 2012 especially, there was a renewed focus on the Mayans, whose advanced calendar led many to speculate the world would end on the same date the Mayan calendar ends.

Since the Victorian period, it has been understood that the story of Noah, iconic in the Book of Genesis, and a central motif in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, derives from a much older story that existed centuries before in ancient Babylon. But the relationship between the Babylonian and biblical traditions was shrouded in mystery. Then, in 2009, Irving Finkel, a curator at the British Museum and a world authority on ancient Mesopotamia, found himself playing detective.

At the beginning of his career, Joseph Campbell developed a lasting fascination with the cultures of the Far East, and explorations of Buddhist and Hindu philosophy later became recurring motifs in his vast body of work. However, Campbell had to wait until middle age to visit the lands that inspired him so deeply. In 1954, he took a sabbatical from his teaching position and embarked on a year-long voyage through India, Thailand, Cambodia, Burma, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and finally Japan.

"See for yourself!" was the clarion call of the 1600s. Natural philosophers threw off the yoke of ancient authority, peered at nature with microscopes and telescopes, and ignited the scientific revolution. Artists investigated nature with lenses and created paintings filled with realistic effects of light and shadow. The hub of this optical innovation was the small Dutch city of Delft.

As an unscrupulous beetle-like journalist once said, he's "a biographer's dream." Is he omniscient or limited? Is he benevolent or malevolent? What really drove him in the last years of an extraordinary life? Dumbledore dives between the lines of the Harry Potter books to create a portrait of the controversial Headmaster. We find Dumbledore's hand in every seeming coincidence and consider the impossible decisions he had to make.

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle.

An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, is one of the most recognizable and mysterious figures in the Harry Potter series. As an unscrupulous beetle-like journalist once said, he's "a biographer's dream." Is he omniscient or limited? Is he benevolent or malevolent? What really drove him in the last years of an extraordinary life? Dumbledore dives between the lines of the Harry Potter books to create a portrait of the controversial Headmaster. We find Dumbledore's hand in every seeming coincidence and consider the impossible decisions he had to make.

When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early 40s, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils.... Pagford is not what it at first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town's council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen.

Verry good.
I'd done my research before buying the book, so it was neither a surprise nor a disappointment.
For those interested in folklore and history like myself, then this book is for you. If you're hoping for more about the books themselves however, their is very little of that out side of a couple of extracts.
I really enjoyed the book, especially Natalie Dormer's narration. I'm blind, and I've listened to over 2,000 audio books from actors, many of whom do it professionally. For those that come into it from stage or screen it can be difficult to adapt sometimes, but she's managed it very well.

Interesting and educational!
I enjoyed listening to this book. It is not about fiction per se but about how the world and creatures in J.K. Rowling stories are related to historical and mythological thoughts, ideas and creatures of other writers. It brings in museum references and the artists of the Harry Potter series. I was left in awe of the tremendous amount of research and hard work that has been done to create the world J. K. Rowling envisioned in her work, even before the magic of film and computer generated images. There is a great detail and thoughtful discussion that created this book. It is an amazing tribute to it's collaborators as well as Ms. Rowling. Thank you all for an enjoyable listen. I now want the illustrated versions of the series.

The history will amaze you
This book was not what I expected it to be, which isn't a bad thing. So this book is literally a history lesson in time about different cultures, places, and items that were used in the Harry Potter book series. This book tells you the history of all these items and which ones are deemed magical. The narrator breaks down each book from the beginning when J.K. Rowling wrote or scribbled down photos and what changed when the books came out to the public. This book goes through some of the classes and characters, it is interesting to see some of the people were real and have history.

Great Harry Potter companion
A very interesting companion to the Harry Potter novels. The narration was fine but a lot of the audio interviews and even transition music was NOT recorded well and is very grainy, scratchy, and distorted. The production quality is not what I would expect from something with Harry Potter in the title. Zero excuse for terrible audio in an audiobook.

Not what I expected but.....
When I preordered this I thought it would be another reading of one of the Hogwarts school books. I guess I should have read the synopsis beforehand.
But after listening to it, I remembered that there was an ebook for the exhibit that I could buy. So I bought it and it does help the experience a bit more as you look through the book as the story goes along to see what exactly they are describing in the book.
As a whole, it was very interesting and a good listen/read for fans of J.K. Rowlings. To see and hear about all she did to bring this world to the public is great.

It was OK. Just not what I was expecting.
First off let me say Natalie Dormer was amazing. The story though wasn’t really what I was expecting, I was expecting more of things to do with Harry Potter in the wizarding world rather than real life witchcraft and wizardry. I would’ve liked to see more of a history of Harry Potter magic I guess is what I’m trying to say not witchcraft and wizardry and how it relates to the real world. This is the reason

Great Backstory, but curious organization.
Hello, I got into the world of audiobooks by listening to the Harry Potter series on tape, narrated by Jim Dale. Not only was this a great look back at the Harry Potter series and the some of the real life inspirations of the series, but it was a wonderful peak behind the audio books, movies, and various artwork that parallels the book series. The various experts, artists, historians, and others who leant their voices to this production did a superb job of taking the listener on a journey through real magical history, JK Rollings creative process, fun stories and anecdotes of the written, audio, and movie production of the Harry Potter series.
That said, I was more than a little confused by how the production was organized. There is a very nice explanation of the four main categories all of the narratives come from. But even though each category is listed at the beginning of each chapter, the whole thing felt a little random.
Overall I really enjoyed it and found some interesting insight into some of the lore behind the series. So I’m I’m sure any reader will enjoy this.

I really enjoyed listening to all of this. The origins of concepts in the Harry Potter world, the inspiration behind the art- it was all absolutely fascinating! Natalie Dormer did an amazing job narrating and the guest appearances of everyone else just added to the charm. Definitely recommend if you’re wanting to delve deeper into the world of Harry Potter!
