Witchcraft & Wizardry First Year Book List: 7 Textbook Replicas, Hardcover A5

Witchcraft & Wizardry First Year Book List: 7 Textbook Replicas

The first year book list of a school of witchcraft and wizardry, in seven fully readable volumes: the Book of Spells, Basic Potion Making, Basic Charm Casting, A History of Magic, Theory of Magic, Herbology and A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration. These are the books a new student carries to the first lessons — spells and charms, potions, history, theory, plants and transfiguration — and together they show how a magical education begins.

Which books would a first-year carry to class? What does the full seven-year curriculum look like on one shelf? And which textbook will you open first?

Fully readable first year book list — not blank props

Every book is printed from cover to cover with original illustrated content. No blank or lined journal pages: each volume is a real book to read, not a notebook with a decorated cover.

First year book list as a real shelf

Fans love the moment a first-year reads the list of required books, and this set turns that list into a real shelf. It is an ideal gift for a young reader starting the story, a complete prop set for a first-year costume and a beautiful beginning for a larger wizarding library.

Why choose the first year book list instead of single books

A set brings the books together in one parcel, with matching A5 hardcovers that line up neatly on the shelf, and it costs less than buying the same 7 books one by one. It also comes with a bigger gift: 9 fan art prints and 3 fan art wizarding magazines. And because every volume is fully readable, the set is a real reading programme — you can follow the subjects in order, one book after another, the way a student would.
