Who is the real Nicolas Flamel? How did the Philosopher's Stone gain its magical powers? Did Ms. Rowling encounter a snake demon, a bewitching lyre, or a slender, four-legged water creature with tiny horns in her dreams? If not, then who else conceived of these strange creatures? Millions of readers are captivated by the magical world of Harry Potter and his friends, filled with magic, spells, and mythical creatures, but they are unaware of the thousands of years of history, folklore, and mythology behind this world. Now, with The Magician's Companion, those who visit the Hogwarts Library can also glimpse the magical world created by Rowling.
