Loved by millions of readers worldwide, let the greatest children's book series of all time take you on an unforgettable journey. The hope and wonder of Harry Potter's world will make you want to escape to Hogwarts again and again. This magical hardback box set is perfect for gifting!
Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when 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. The magic starts here ...
This box set contains all seven novels to whisk you away to Hogwarts and beyond; from the comforting cosiness of The Burrow to the thrills of a rain-streaked Quidditch pitch. Follow Harry and his friends as they encounter two-faced professors and three-headed dogs, battle spiders and serpents, discover the mysteries of Divination and Dementors, and much, much more. With spectacular covers by award-winning artist Jonny Duddle, these irresistible hardback editions are presented in a striking scarlet box, decorated with gold foiling showing Harry on his broomstick flying past a fiery Hungarian Horntail dragon. These books are to be treasured and read time and time again, the most special gift for family, friends and loved ones.
Seven magical stories, one epic adventure.

The enduringly popular adventures of Harry, Ron and Hermione have gone on to sell over 500 million copies, be translated into over 80 languages and made into eight blockbuster films. Alongside the Harry Potter series, she also wrote three short companion volumes for charity: Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, in aid of Comic Relief and Lumos, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard, in aid of Lumos. J.K. Rowling collaborated with playwright Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany to continue Harry's story in a stage play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which opened in London in 2016 and is now playing in Europe, North America and Australia. In the same year, she made her debut as a screenwriter with the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the first in a series featuring Magizoologist Newt Scamander, which was inspired by the original companion volume. J.K. Rowling has also written a standalone novel, The Casual Vacancy, and is the author of the Strike crime series under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. Both have been adapted for television.
