Une histoire de la magie (A History of Magic) – Bathilda Bagshot

The French edition of A History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot: nine chapters from the origins of magic and the goblin wars to the witch hunts and the founding of the Ministry.

Where did magic begin? Why did wizards go to war with the goblins? How did the first wizarding villages appear — and what drove the great witch hunts?

About Une histoire de la magie: A History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot

A History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot is the book every first-year is told to buy — and it deserves to be read to the end, because the history of the magical world is full of wars, secrets and unlikely heroes. Our fan edition is written as a real course in nine chapters. It begins with the origins of magic and the first wizards, follows the long conflict between wizards and goblins through its wars and rebellions, and stops at the dark period of the witch hunts. Later chapters show how the first wizarding villages grew and how the Ministry came to be founded. Between the chapters, a curious student's travel notes add a lighter, personal voice, and period portraits and maps help you keep track of who fought whom and where.

Fully readable Une histoire de la magie replica — not a blank prop

All 160 pages are printed with original illustrated content — in French, from the first page to the last. No blank or lined journal pages: this is a book to read, not a notebook with a decorated cover.

Une histoire de la magie — the French edition

French edition: the whole book is printed in French.

Reading a favourite world in another language is one of the most enjoyable ways to learn it: the names, spells and recipes you already know become anchors in the new language. This edition is made for French-speaking fans, for families who want a French book on the shelf and for learners who prefer magic to grammar drills.

A History of Magic book for collectors and history lovers

This history of magic book is the natural first volume of any wizarding library: it explains the world before the potions, charms and creatures arrive. History lovers read it as a fantasy chronicle, dark academia readers enjoy its scholarly tone, and it works as a believable prop for themed classes, parties and escape rooms because it holds up when someone opens it. Bathilda Bagshot's name on the cover makes it instantly recognisable to fans, while the fully printed pages make it much more than a shelf ornament.
