Potion Book with Margin Notes & A History of Magic, 2 Book Set

The two most wanted textbooks together: Advanced Potion Making by Libatius Borage, the potion book with handwritten-style margin notes in every copy and more than fifty advanced recipes, and A History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot with nine chapters from the origins of magic to the founding of the Ministry.

Fully readable books — 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.

Inside the potion book and History of Magic set

Advanced Potion Making

50+ advanced potion recipes, step by step. Felix Felicis, Polyjuice Potion, Veritaserum, Amortentia, Draught of Living Death. Ingredient preparation, brewing times and stirring directions. Handwritten-style notes in the margins, left by a gifted former owner: corrected recipes, crossed-out steps and private remarks. Black & white illustrations throughout.

Potion book with margin notes and A History of Magic as a pair

If you can choose only two books, choose these: the potions textbook fans recognise at once and the history book every first-year is told to buy. The pair is a favourite starting point for a wizarding library and comes with 9 fan art prints.

Why choose a set 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 2 books one by one. It also comes with a bigger gift: 9 fan art prints instead of 5. 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.

Made by hand: format, binding and paper

Every book in this set is printed and bound by hand. Both 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.
