Voilà rien de moins que l'un des livres de classe de Harry, ou du moins sa copie conforme. Celui-là, c'est marqué sur la première page, il le partage avec son copain Ron Weasley, "parce que les pages du sien sont décollées". La préface est due à Aldous Dumbledore en personne. Ce manuel est précieux pour quiconque s'aventurerait au pays des sorciers, et évidemment passionnant pour tous ceux qui s'intéressent à l'univers de Harry. L'auteur, Newt Scamander (Norbert Dragonneau pour nous autres Moldus), présente tous les animaux auquel ce bon vieil Hagrid est tellement attaché : hippogriffe, horklump, loup-garou et autre manticore, de l'acromantula au yeti ! Chacun fait l'objet d'une présentation détaillée qui comporte une description de l'animal, ses principales particularités et sa classification par le ministère de la magie, selon sa dangerosité. Évidemment, comme nombre d'écoliers, Harry et son copain Ron n'ont pas pu s'empêcher d'écrire sur les pages, émaillant la lecture de leurs commentaires facétieux&
Indispensable pour les fans de Harry, cet ouvrage leur permettra, de plus, de participer à une bonne action, puisque le produit de sa vente sera intégralement reversé à l'association humanitaire Comic Reflief, qui finance des projets destinés à aider les enfants des pays les plus pauvres du monde. Ainsi donc, comme le fait remarquer Aldous Dumbledore, l'argent qui aura servi à l'acheter aura "un pouvoir magique plus grand encore que celui des sorciers". --Pascale Wester [via]

In one of the most hotly anticipated sequel in memory, J.K. Rowling takes up where she left off with Harry's second year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Old friends and new torments abound, including a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls' bathroom, an outrageously conceited professor, Gilderoy Lockheart, and a mysterious force that turns Hogwarts students to stone.

Plumbing the depths of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets will result in a fascinating exploration of muggle (and wizard) nature. The Harry Potter Literature Guides help educators help their students delve into the hows, wheres, and whys of the Harry Potter series. In the Chamber of Secrets guide, thought-provoking queries are interspersed with more pedestrian lessons in comprehension, vocabulary, and themes. Students are asked to ponder such questions as these:
What does Dumbledore mean when he says, "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities"? What choices have you made that show who you are?Slytherin wanted Hogwarts to be a school for full-bloods, a school that excluded those who weren't like him. How does his attitude compare with real prejudices people have had throughout history?
The lightweight 18-page booklet divides the study of the book into chapter groupings, with summary and discussion questions and cross-curricular activities (art, music, writing, drama, literature, logic, etc.). Reproducible handouts and a colorful poster provide more educational opportunities for the savvy, up-to-date teacher. (Ages 8 to 11) --Emilie Coulter [via]

Malfoy uses an offensive term, Mudblood, to address Hermione. How do you feel about people who do this? Why do you think they act this way? What would you say to Malfoy?
In Moody's class, students learn about illegal wizard curses which are abuses of power. Beyond the book, what are some abuses of power that you know of?
Is Hermione right to try to liberate the house-elves when they don't really want to be liberated and are happy as things stand?
In this literature guide for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, students are challenged to think more deeply about the enormously popular book by J.K. Rowling. The lightweight 24-page booklet is divided into chapter groupings, with summaries, discussion questions, and activities, including lessons in comprehension and recall, vocabulary, and themes. Cross-curricular activities in social studies, writing, math, science, and more provide opportunities for more comprehensive exploration of the concepts and themes of the book. Reproducible handouts and a colorful teaching poster are included in this engaging guide to a literary phenomenon. (Ages 8 to 11) --Emilie Coulter [via]

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone Cassette Travel Bag is a complete and unabridged reading by Stephen Fry on six cassettes, contained in a travel box. A CD travel bag is also available.
Just when it seems that there cannot possibly be another twist to the Harry Potter tale, Stephen Fry dons his haughtiest and naughtiest tones to bring Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to vibrant life on audio. Harry Potter has spent the first 10 years of his life at the mercy of the dreadful Dursleys--the aunt, uncle and fat, spoilt brat of a cousin who reluctantly gave him a home after the death of his mother and father. But on his 11th birthday Harry discovers that he is no ordinary boy, and despite the best efforts of his hideous relatives he escapes to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to begin his new life as a trainee wizard. And the rest, as they say, is history...
As Harry battles against the evils thrown in his path, Stephen Fry injects the proceedings with a wry, dry and extremely contagious humour that perfectly suits the tale, wringing out the best in Harry and his cohorts as they get to grips with their new lives at the sharp end of Hogwarts. Fry's innate upper-class drone is perfectly suited to the telling of this most magical tale, cracking into the high-pitched squawking of Hermione the swat, or the gentle tones of the firm but fair Dumbledore, or the evil sniping of slimey Snape at precisely the right moments.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is a fine story and much has been written about its success, but until you have heard Fry's cracking reading of this most magical of stories then you simply haven't lived. As with any audio book, this one is perfect for car journeys and an ideal way of introducing reluctant readers to the magic that is Harry Potter. (Ages 9 and over) --Susan Harrison

The cartoonish art is muddy and unspectacular, but fans and collectors blinded by their enthusiasm for the boy wizard may not care a bit. (Ages 4 and older) [via]

Dans ce quatrième tome, Harry et la Coupe de feu, le plus populaire des apprentis sorciers fait sa rentrée pour une quatrième année trépidante au collège de sorcellerie. Une fois de plus, J. K. Rowling nous effraye autant qu'elle nous ravit avec sa pléiade de dragons, d'elfes et de combats contre la mort.
Il ne reste à son héros orphelin âgé aujourd'hui de 14 ans que deux semaines à passer dans sa famille de moldus avant de retourner au collège de sorcellerie Poudlard. Mais une nuit, une vision suffisamment obsédante pour réveiller sa cicatrice en forme d'éclair met les nerfs de Harry à vif et le pousse à contacter son parrain en sorcellerie, Sirius Black. Heureusement, la perspective d'assister au grand événement sportif de la saison, la Coupe du monde de Quidditch, suffit à faire oublier pour quelque temps à Harry que Lord Voldemort et ses sinistres comparses, les mangeurs de Mort, sont en route pour tuer.
Lecteurs, nous allons maintenant recouvrir le reste de l'intrigue d'une immense cape d'invisibilité et nous nous bornerons à vous révéler que Qui-Vous-Savez est à la poursuite de Harry, et que cette année, il n'y aura pas de matchs de Quidditch entre Gryffondor, Serdaigle, Poufsouffle et Serpentard. Cette fois c'est Poudlard qui disputera un tournoi de sorcellerie contre deux autres écoles de magiciens, les Élégants de Beauxbaton et les Glaçons de Durmstrang. Les candidats sélectionnés devront passer trois ultimes épreuves. Harry fera-t-il partie des heureux élus ?
Quant à vous, fans de Quidditch, ne soyez-pas déçus : nous retrouvons ce grand jeu au moment de la Coupe du monde. 100 000 sorcières et magiciens soucieux d'incognito et tentant de se faire passer pour des moldus se rassemblent sur une "charmante lande déserte". Rowling nous enchante comme toujours avec ce souci des détails qui rend son univers si vivant et si drôle. Les tentes où s'abritent des spectateurs, par exemple, sortent vraiment de l'ordinaire. L'une d'elles est un palais miniature rempli de vrais paons ; une autre est composée de trois étages surplombés de nombreuses tourelles. Sans parler de tous les accessoires et gadgets proposés au public : des badges qui couinent le nom des joueurs, des modèles réduits de balais Éclairs de feu qui volent vraiment, ainsi que des figurines de joueurs célèbres à collectionner, qui déambulent dans la paume de la main en se pavanant... Il va sans dire que les deux équipes ne se ressemblent pas du tout, et leurs mascottes non plus. La Bulgarie est soutenue par les magnifiques Veela qui enchantent en un instant tous les spectateurs - y compris les supporters d'Irlande - jusqu'à ce que des milliers de petits lutins se lancent dans un spectacle explosif de leur cru en formant une main géante pour adresser un signe vraiment très mal élevé aux Veela, à l'autre bout du terrain...
Bien avant la parution du quatrième volume de la série, Rowling avait prévenu qu'il serait plus sombre que le précédent et il est vrai qu'à chaque moment d'hilarité correspond un moment de frayeur où nous craignons pour la vie de Harry, les émotions soulevées par la lecture du livre étant à la mesure des dangers encourus par le héros. Au cours de l'histoire sont évoqués de nouveaux personnages tel Alastor "Oeil fou", Moody, un chasseur de sorciers qui pourrait bien sombrer avec l'âge dans une totale paranoïa, ou encore Rita Skeeter qui tourne autour de Poudlard à la recherche d'un article sensationnel. (Cette as du scoop du Daily Prophet possède une plume féroce qui a l'art de transformer le moindre propos innocent en rumeur de tabloïd.)
En prévision du cinquième livre, Rowling ne dénoue pas tous les fils de l'intrigue jusque dans sa conclusion, éblouissante. Ce fan qui vous parle est prêt à parier que l'auteur elle-même est à moitié Veela - son stylo est sa baguette magique, elle habite vraiment cet univers qu'elle a créé. À partir de 9 ans. --Kerry Fried [via]

The Harry Potter craze that has swept the world is all the more remarkable because Harry Potter is a profoundly complex yet terrifically realistic character whose experiences at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry span the spectrum of childhood trials and tribulations--with a magical twist. Teachers who don't take advantage of the wild popularity of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series may be missing an educational opportunity of a lifetime. With the Harry Potter Literature Guides, educators can direct students to glean even more gems of brilliance from the series. In the Sorcerer's Stone guide, for example, children are encouraged to explore literary genre, themes, vocabulary, literary connections, character development, and personal responses to the first book in the series, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. The lightweight 18-page booklet divides the study of the book into chapter groupings (Chapters 1-6, 7-12, and 13-17), features sections on "before reading the book" and summarizing, and includes reproducible handouts. Each chapter exploration includes summary and discussion questions and cross-curricular activities (art, music, writing, drama, literature, logic, etc.). A colorful teaching poster shows a Harry Potter timeline; teachers can use the poster for still more educational challenges. Take the Harry Potter passion one step further!

Grade 4-8-These slim paperbacks are made to look like actual Hogwarts tomes, complete with creased covers and plenty of marginalia scribbled by Harry and other students. Fabulous Beasts, a facsimile of Harry Potter's very own textbook, contains descriptions of 75 magical beasts, written in a wonderfully dry yet droll style by a renowned magizoologist. Quidditch is the facsimile of a Hogwarts library book, which had to be literally pried from the hands of librarian Madam Pince. It gives a comprehensive history of the game and its rules, as well as a rundown of each of the 13 league teams of Britain and Ireland. Harry Potter fans who pride themselves on knowing every minute bit of Hogwarts trivia will devour both books. From Professor Dumbledore's introductions to the price listed on the back cover (14 Sickles 3 Knuts), readers will find a wealth of detailed magical lore and laugh-out-loud humor. Neither book is as gripping as the actual series, of course, but fans who are waiting for the fifth installment will be entertained by these volumes in the meantime.

Jusqu'à l'âge de onze ans, Harry Potter était un petit garçon comme les autres. Enfin... comme un petit garçon qui serait élevé par un oncle et une tante qui le détestent et le font dormir dans un placard. Mais, le jour de son onzième anniversaire, Harry découvre qu'il n'est pas du tout un petit garçon comme les autres, et qu'on l'attend à la rentrée... à l'école des sorciers. Il apprend aussi qu'il est quelqu'un de très exceptionnel puisque, alors qu'il n'était que tout bébé, il a triomphé du terrible Voldemort... pardon !... "Vous-Savez-Qui". Non ? Vous ne voyez pas ?
Alors précipitez-vous pour dévorer ce premier épisode des aventures de Harry Potter, découvrir ses amis, son extraordinaire école, ses étranges professeurs et les curieux enseignements qu'ils prodiguent. Mais attention : un sortilège guette le lecteur. Lorsqu'on a plongé une fois dans l'univers fantasmagorique de J. K. Rowling, on ne rêve plus que d'y retourner. Heureusement, il y a une suite... Harry Potter et la Chambre des secrets. --Pascale Wester [via]
