Synopsis

Book 5 of the Harry Potter series was released in 2003 and more than 5 million copies were sold within the first 24 hours. There's no doubt the hype surrounding the July 16th release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be unequaled. And as fans wait and media airwaves become saturated with talk of Harry Potter, Heroes and Wizards: A Harry Potter Companion is the perfect book to satisfy their appetite. Heroes and Wizards is the second Potter companion book by George Beahm, following his Muggles and Magic (Hampton Roads 2004). Heroes and Wizards gives "Potter maniacs" even more inside information on the making of the blockbuster series and the boy wizard everyone is reading and talking about.

About this title

Synopsis:

When book 5 of the Harry Potter series was released in 2003 more than 5 million copies were sold within the first 24 hours. Time will tell if Book 6 will match its record-setting predecessor, but, with advance orders already in the millions, there's no doubt the hype surrounding the July 16th release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be unequalled. THE HARRY POTTER ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FACT, FICTION, AND FOLKLORE is an entertaining look at the historical, literary and mythological references in the Harry Potter universe, offering the reader more insight on what's based in fact and what's complete fiction. With entries organised by book, Beahm's is the only companion offering information on Book 5, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, making it the most current book on the market. This is the second book by George Beahm, whose Muggles and Magic has already sold 30,000 copies and has been hailed as 'sophisticated enough to interest adults and lively enough to keep younger fans engaged.'
