Do you ever wonder where J.K. Rowling learned her magic from? As a student of the classics, she was able to learn about the myths of centaurs, basilisks and many more creatures from antiquity that made their way into her best-selling novels.

Learn the history behind the creatures, potions and spells from Harry Potter when we dive into manuscripts and paintings ranging over 2,000 years!
