Tổng quan

Like Muggles, the wizarding world obtains and records information through books. They use books for reference, research and information gathering.

Houses of the Wizarding community also have books in cooking, housework and references. The Hogwarts students devote most of their time in the library to doing their homework, and sometimes borrow library books to read in their own common room. Not all books in the Hogwarts library can be accessed by the students. Some of them are in the Restricted Section of the library, and books in that section contain particularly advanced magic and information about the Dark Arts. In order to borrow books in the Restricted Section, students need a signed permission slip from a professor.

Flourish and Blotts is the main supplier of school and other books, and is located in Diagon Alley.

Phân tích

Curiously, there does not seem to be any Wizarding fiction, apart from the collection of comic books of "The Adventures of Martin Miggs, the Mad Muggle" in Ron's room. Granted, most of the work produced by Rita Skeeter and Gilderoy Lockhart seems to be largely fictional, however it is not classed as fiction.
