Book excerpt: "La obra de J.K. Rowling está llena de referencias a la historia, a los mitos, a las leyendas y a la literatura. Por tanto, a través de ella, se abre un excelente camino para llegar a los orígenes de esos seres mágicos o al misterio que encierran sus nombres. Esta libro, Los mundos mágicos de Harry Potter, se ha propuesto desvelar las historias que hay detrás de las aventuras y los personajes de estas populares novelas. Este enriquecedor recorrido incluye muchos otros mundos, tanto reales como imaginarios, desde el antiguo Egipto y Grecia hasta la India y Japón. También muestra los puntos de encuentro con magos como Circe y Merlín, y con auténticos alquimistas de la Edad Media, y revela el sorprendente origen de seres mágicos como el fénix y el hipogrifo. Detrás de estas historias se pueden descubrir también referencias a páginas de autores tan universalmente reconocidos como Shakespeare, Flaubert, Ovidio, Dickens o Tolkien"--Cover, p. 4.

Book excerpt: Mitos, leyendas y datos fascinantes.El exito desbordante de los libros que tienen por protagonista a Harry Potter no se debe solo a la inspiracion de J.K. Rowling. Sin desmerecer su habilidad como narradora, su acierto ha estado en haber utilizado en sus libros, en una clave nueva y con unos protagonistas bien construidos, una parte importante del imaginario colectivo que proviene tanto de la historia como de los mitos, leyendas y personajes literarios de que esta lleno nuestro mundo simbolico. Pues bien, lo que hace David Colbert en este libro es rastrear en los personajes de Rowling y en sus acciones los rasgos de todas las aportaciones anteriores que les sirven de la base. El libro esta concebido como un diccionario y los temas estan dispuestos alfabeticamente. Los hallazgos que logra con este rastreo bastante exhaustivo y erudito resultan sorprendentes y enormemente aleccionadores. Nos parece el primer intento serio de dar cuenta de los contenidos metaliterarios que esconden esos trepidantes libros de aventuras, no tan inocentes como aparecen a primera vista.

Book excerpt: "Harry Potter y el cáliz de fuego es la cuarta entrega de la serie fantástica de la autora británica J.K.

Solo los alumnos mayores de diecisiete años pueden participar en esta competición, pero, aun así, Harry sueña con ganarla.

Only students over the age of seventeen are allowed to enter the competition, but even so, Harry dreams of winning it. On Halloween, when the Goblet of Fire chooses the champions, Harry is shocked to see that his name is one of those chosen by the Magic Goblet.

Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller, now fully updated to include the complete seven-volume series. Who was the real Nicholas Flamel? How did the Sorcerer’s Stone get its power? Did J. K. Rowling dream up the terrifying basilisk, the seductive veela, or the vicious grindylow? And if she didn’t, who did? Millions of readers around the world have been enchanted by the magical world of wizardry, spells, and mythical beasts inhabited by Harry Potter and his friends. But what most readers don’t know is that there is a centuries-old trove of true history, folklore, and mythology behind Harry’s fantastic universe. Now, with The Sorcerer’s Companion, those without access to the Hogwarts Library can school themselves in the fascinating reality behind J. K. Rowling’s world of magic. Newly updated to include Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, The Sorcerer’s Companion allows curious readers to look up anything magical from the Harry Potter books and discover a wealth of entertaining, unexpected information. Wands and wizards, boggarts and broomsticks, hippogriffs and herbology, all have astonishing histories rooted in legend, literature, or real-life events dating back hundreds or even thousands of years. Magic wands, like those sold in Rowling’s Diagon Alley, were once fashioned by Druid sorcerers out of their sacred yew trees. Love potions were first concocted in ancient Greece and Egypt. And books of spells and curses were highly popular during the Middle Ages. From Amulets to Zombies, you’ll also learn: • how to read tea leaves • where to find a basilisk today • how King Frederick II of Denmark financed a war with a unicorn horn • who the real Merlin was • how to safely harvest mandrake root • who wore the first invisibility cloak • how to get rid of a goblin • why owls were feared in the ancient world • what really lies beyond the Veil • the origins of our modern-day “bogeyman,” and more. A spellbinding tour of Harry’s captivating world, The Sorcerer’s Companion is a must for every Potter aficionado’s bookshelf. The Sorcerer's Companion has not been prepared, approved, or licensed by any person or entity that created, published, or produced the Harry Potter books or related properties.
