Magic School Textbooks, Second Year: Potions, Creatures & Alchemy, Set of 7

Magic School Textbooks, Second Year: Potions, Creatures & Alchemy, Set of 7

The second-year shelf of our magic school textbooks goes further into the curriculum: Advanced Potion Making with its margin notes, the Monster Book of magical creatures, the first part of dark arts defence, divination with Unfogging the Future, the first two volumes of the alchemy course and the basic course of ancient studies. It is the set for readers who have finished the basics and want the creatures, the protection and the mysteries.

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 magic school textbooks — 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.

Magic school textbooks for the darker subjects

This set suits fans of the darker and more mysterious subjects — creatures, defence, divination and alchemy. Seven matching hardcovers make a strong middle section for a growing library and a memorable gift for a reader who already owns the first-year books.

Why choose the magic school textbooks 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.

Handmade magic school textbooks: how the books are made

Every book in this set is printed and bound by hand. All 7 volumes share the same A5 format (5.8 × 8.3 in / 14.8 × 21 cm), so they line up neatly on a shelf; each has a full colour hardcover and a thread-sewn binding that lets it open completely flat. The pages are printed on coated 115 g/m² paper with black and white illustrations.
