![]() ![]() ![]() Rowling’s early drafts for the Harry Potter books are equally fascinating. Rowling’s plan for Order of the Phoenix shows her meticulous attention to detail. Rowling created when she was writing Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone – witty, charming and at times hilarious, they make one wonder why she hasn’t released the book with her own illustrations. ![]() The exhibition shows how J.K.Rowling mixed old stories with her own imagination to create the world of Harry Potter.īut possibly my favourite artifacts in the whole exhibition were sketches J.K. The exhibition displays the real and the fictional artifacts side by side – Jim McKay’s beautiful portraits of Hogwarts professors look on renaissance manuscripts describing (among other things) 5 different species of unicorns and the uses of the bezoar. Every detail has been planned with love- the ceilings are decorated with books, potions, and even broomsticks. The British Library’s Harry Potter: A History of Magic exhibition is a great treat for all Harry Potter fans: young and old.Ĭhildren will love the interactive cauldrons that allow them to brew magical potions, and grown-ups will wonder at the Anglo-Saxon manuscript of Bald’s Leechbook which features a remedy that has recently been proved to kill MRSA.Įach room of the exhibition features one of the magical subjects taught at Hogwarts: from Potions to Defence Against the Dark Arts. ![]()
