Free Hogwarts Classics (Harry Potter) Ebooks Online
Two Wizarding classics no Harry Potter fan should be without, now presented in an elegant boxed set. Inside the Hogwarts Classics boxed set, readers will find a pair of books treasured by students at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry: Quidditch Through the Ages, a comprehensive history of the game and its rules (just try to ignore the doodles of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and other Hogwarts students who couldn't resist); and The Tales of Beedle the Bard, translated from the ancient runes by Hermione Granger, with an introduction, notes, and illustrations by J.K. Rowling and extensive commentary by Albus Dumbledore. From every sale of Hogwarts Classics, Scholastic will donate a total of twenty percent of the suggested retail sales price of this boxed set to two charities selected by the author J.K. Rowling: Lumos, a charity founded by J.K. Rowling that works to end the institutionalization of children (wearelumos.org), and Comic Relief, a UK-based charity that strives to create a just world free from poverty (www.comicrelief.com).

At first said it came with 3 books Quidditch Through the Ages,The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. That's why i pre-ordered it. But since they changed it to Quidditch Through the Ages,The Tales of Beedle the Bard,and i was like well that is annoying but i kept it as a pre-order anyway. Well i got this today and this isn't what i thought it would be. I have this same box set that they released in red called The Hogwarts Library which they are still have for sale on here which include all 3 books that i said above which looks exactly like this box-set books and all. Besides turning this box-set purple and only adding 2 books in this collection these books are the same from the other collection in 2013 and still the same books you can buy anywhere by themselves. I collect everything HP and i have all the american books and even half of the UK versions but even someone like me was disappointed with this box-set. If i knew it was only 2 books from the start and that the books look exactly like the books i already owned i wouldn't have bought this set. I gave it 4 stars because this was branded as something us potterheads don't already own and a must have. But if you're like me who buys everything HP when it comes out then you will not be happy with this and feel duped. But if you don't already own The Hogwarts Library or any Hogwarts classics then you will be very happy with this 2 book box-set. The box-set isn't cheap looking and is made with heavy materials and the books and box-set have a cloth cover so these books will last you a long time no matter how long you read them.Again this is a great box-set if you already don't own the the 3 book red version that came out in 2013. If you have that release no need to buy this one.
I highly recommend these two volumes as an accompaniment to the famed Harry Potter. The presentation is so classic and beautiful; it could be a graduation gift straight from Dumbledore at Hogwarts.For newbies to the wizarding world, Quidditch is their version of baseball/soccer, except it's played in the air, on broomsticks. Yes, it sounds fantastical but it's unbelievably real and awesome. If you haven't yet read the first volume of Harry Potter, now is the time. The rest of this review is for those already familiar with Harry Potter.Unlike Harry and the Cursed Child, these books are actually written by the real JK Rowling, an incredibly gifted writer. She blends reality and fantasy to a new level, with an everpresent blend of humor.Without spoilers, I will tell you a bit about the content of each book:The Tales of Beetle the Bard: I don't remember exactly, but this book has definitely been mentioned through the 7 Harry Potter books, specifically in regard to the Deathly Hallows... which is included in here but wait:This book is a "new" edition, translated by Hermione Granger, and with a commentary written by Albus Dumbledore, discovered after his death. And, for those who are new to this world, JK Rowling sticks in a few definitions and explanations in footnotes, below Dumbledore. I told you these books blend fantasy with reality!The last tale is the Deathly Hallows... readers of Harry Potter know that there is a HUGE appendum to this story but Rowling left it as Dumbledore would have seen it, though he likely would have known how it would end. Either way, this book is awesome fairy tales, with a wizarding twist. Harry Potter fan or not, you're going to like this.
