Harry Potter Schoolbooks
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
One of Harry's "textbooks" made available to the general Muggle community. It describes the origins and importance of Magiczoology. The second part describes everything from Acromantulas to Yeti.
The funniest feature of the book is the "margin notes" added by Harry, Ron and Hermione. (Yes its true! Hermione wrote in a textbook!) Check it out to find out what she wrote.
Quidditch Through the Ages
This is straight from the Hogwarts School Library. It is a very informative history of the development and rise in popularity of Quidditch in the wizarding community. Learn about the Golden Snitch, fouls and Ron's favorite team.
Unfortunately, Irma Pince's stern warning in the front must have kept Hermione, and the others, from making funny comments in the margins...

- I'd also recommend Cornelia Funke's Inkheart trilogy (again with the trilogy!) - Inkheart, Inkspell and Inkdeath. Last one comes out in Oct 2008. Also the Edge Chronicles - awesome fantasy, if a little gory at times.
