S'il vous est jamais arrivé de vous demander quelle est l'origine du vif d'or, comment les cognards sont apparus ou pourquoi les wigtown wanderers portent l'image d'un couteau de boucher sur leur robe, vous devez lire le quidditch à travers les âges.
Cette édition limitée est la reproduction exacte du volume conservé à la bibliothèque de pouldard oú il est consulté presque chaque jour par les fanatiques de quidditch.

Harry Potter is furious that he has been abandoned at the Dursleys' house for the summer, for he suspects that Voldemort is gathering an army, that he himself could be attacked, and that his so-called friends are keeping him in the dark. Finally rescued by wizard bodyguards, he discovers that Dumbledore is regrouping the Order of the Phoenix - a secret society first formed years ago to fight Voldemort. But the Ministry of Magic is against the Order, lies are being spread by the wizards' tabloid, the Daily Prophet, and Harry fears that he may have to take on this epic battle against evil alone.

These adult editions with glorious jacket art by Andrew Davidson are now available in hardback for the first time. Lire la suite Fermer

This gift edition hardback, presented in a beautiful foiled cloth slipcase decorated with brand new line art by Jonny Duddle, is the perfect introduction to Harry Potter.

Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Bienvenue à Pagford, petite bourgade anglaise paisible et charmante : ses maisons cossues, son ancienne abbaye, sa place de marché pittoresque... et son lourd fardeau de secrets. Car derrière cette façade idyllique, Pagford est en proie aux tourmentes les plus violentes, et les conflits font rage sur tous les fronts, à la faveur de la mort soudaine de son plus éminent notable. Entre nantis et pauvres, enfants et parents, maris et femmes, ce sont des années de rancunes, de rancoeurs, de haines et de mensonges, jusqu'alors soigneusement dissimulés, qui vont éclater au grand jour et, à l'occasion d'une élection municipale en apparence anodine, faire basculer Pagford dans la tragédie.

' The Dark Lord will rise again with his servant ' s aid, greater and more terrible than ever before ' Sybill Trelawney Harry Potter is lucky to reach the age of thirteen, since he has survived the murderous attacks of the feared Dark Lord on more than one occasion.

It's assumed that Hogwarts is the safest place for Harry to be. But is it a coincidence that he can feel eyes watching him in the dark, and should he be taking Professor Trelawney's ghoulish predictions seriously?
