The Hogwarts Library by J. K. Rowling

Title: The Hogwarts Library
Author: J. K. Rowling
Publisher: Bloomsbury Childrens
Release Date: 8th November 2012
Genre: Non-Fiction-Fiction, Young Adult, Fantasy

Summary:
Ever wondered what it is like to study at Hogwarts? 

Well now here is your chance to read the mystical and weird text books that Hogwarts students have to read!

Review:
On one of my many visits to the Warner Brothers Studio Tour London, I bought the Hogwarts Library. This collection, which was written by J. K. Rowling (under the names of made up authors) for Comic Relief some years ago, contains three books; Quidditch Through the Ages by Kennilworthy Whisp, Fanstastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander and The Tales of Beedle and the Bard. As they are are essentially Non-Fiction books set in a Fictitious world, I think the genre classification, Non-Fiction-Fiction seems most appropriate?

A Little Project...

For those of you who do not know me, apart from reading another one of my favourite hobbies is Judo. I am probably not the typical "judoka" but I really love the sport and have made some great friends at my university's club.

But why am I telling you this?

For one of my modules on my course I had to make a documentary under the theme of Achievement. So, I decided to do it on the black belts at my club. After a lot of blood, sweat and tears (literally) it is finally finished and I have decided to share it with everyone as, even though it is not perfect and not really related to publishing, I am really, really, really proud of it and learnt a lot from making it.

Below is the finished documentary. I hope you like it but if you do not; just remember I have a yellow belt!!
