WikiBooks: Guide to Harry Potter

by Wikimedia Foundation

Welcome to the Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter, a collaborative effort towards providing an extensive guidebook to
the Harry Potter series. This book is under development at Wikibooks, a site providing a collection of open-content
textbooks. Anyone can edit this book, and all who are interested in helping out the project are encouraged to be bold
and dive right in to make this one of the most useful books on Harry Potter anywhere.
What This Book Will Cover
This book wishes to provide in-depth analysis and specific detailing of all things in the Harry Potter series. Readers
should be able to learn more about the ? characters, ? places, ? events, and ? magic than what is merely present
in the ? books. Critical commentary on each chapter, character, place, and event is provided in an effort to help the
reader better understand detailed content and realize possible underlying connections to a greater storyline.
This book is meant to cover only the actual series, the seven books that make up the actual story.
