"All you will ever need to know about what makes spells work." —Advert at Flourish and Blotts
Excerpt from the text:
"Tamper with the deepest mysteries — the source of life, the essence of self - only if prepared for consequences of the most extreme and dangerous kind.""
"The ideal starting point for every student of Transfiguration."
—Advert at Flourish and Blotts
"When Transfiguring, it is important to make firm and decisive wand movements. Do not wiggle or twirl your wand unnecessarily, or the Transfiguration will certainly be unsuccessful.""
"Form a clear mental picture of the object you are hoping to create before attempting a Transfiguring spell.""
"Beginners should say the spell clearly. More advanced wizards do not need to say the spell aloud."
"A companion for the student continuing their studies in the field of Transfiguration." —The book advertisement at Flourish and Blotts
"For basic brews, look no further. You will need to buy and collect ingredients to brew potions from this book, so stock up on as many items as you can."—Advert at Flourish and Blotts

"Bathilda Bagshot embarked on the journey of magical knowledge decades ago. She has always been fascinated by the mysteries and curiosities of the wizarding world. A History of Magic examines significant moments and facts from the beginning of time to the 19th century making this book an essential piece of wizarding literature." —The back cover
"Newt's masterpiece had been an approved textbook at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry ever since its publication and must take a substantial amount of credit for our students' consistently high results in Care of Magical Creatures examinations — yet it is not a book to be confined to the classroom. No wizarding household is complete without a copy of Fantastic Beasts, well thumbed by the generations who have riffled its pages in search of the best way to rid the lawn of Horklumps, interpret the mournful cries of the Augurey, or cure their pet Puffskein of drinking out of the toilet." —Albus Dumbledore
"A vicious guide to monstrous creatures."—Description
The Monster Book of Monsters, by Edwardus Lima, is a particularly vicious sentient textbook that is used in Care of Magical Creatures while Rubeus Hagrid (who thought the book's aggressive nature was amusing) was the Professor for that subject at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The book is quite informative, but one usually finds it difficult to access the information within due to the book's unfortunate tendency to try and bite off the reader's fingers. The only way to subdue the book is to stroke its spine, upon which the book opens placidly.
"The definitive work on the origins and history of Quidditch. Highly recommended." —Brutus Scrimgeour's review of Quidditch Through the Ages
Quidditch Through the Ages is a book detailing the history, evolution, and rules of Quidditch first published in 1952.
