"Harry Potter: A History of Magic," held in the British Library in London, features Potter memorabilia including author JK Rowling's first annotated sketch of Hogwarts school, as well as her handwritten list of its teachers and subjects. "Our exhibition explores the history, mythology and folklore behind the Harry Potter stories," Julian Harrison, the exhibition's lead curator, told Reuters. We’ve organised the exhibition around some of the subjects that students would study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, from potions to charms to astronomy and divination." The seven Harry Potter books have been translated into 68 languages and have sold more than 400 million copies worldwide, Rowling's publishers say. The exhibition runs from October 20 until February 28 2018.
