Exploring The Magic World of Harry Potter: An Unauthorized Fact Book is the perfect little pocket lexicon for not only the Harry Potter book series, but the films, actors, and J.K. Rowling. Ever wanted to know when and where Jo began writing the books, and what inspired her to come up with the names of the four Hogwarts Houses? That's in the book. Basic facts and fillmographies about the adult actors of the series, like Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, and Robbie Coltrane? Also fully-stocked.

The book has lists and lists of statistics, including how many of each book was sold around the world altogether, during the first 24 hours, and in various languages. All the box office numbers for the first six movies released are chronicled, as are mini-biographies of the three stars, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson.

In addition to straight facts about the series, there is quite a bit of supplementary information, including historical facts related to events that took place throughout the series. There are facts about locations, people (even on how frequently twins are born, in reference to the Weasley and Patil twins), and numerous glossaries defining spells, sweets, and characters.

If you're nowhere near a computer, and are stuck on trying to remember that one little piece of Harry Potter trivia, this is the perfect book to have in hand. It's small, light-weight, and easy to carry around. A definite must-have for a die-hard Harry Potter fan.

Exploring The Magic World of Harry Potter: An Unauthorized Fact Book, out October 1, 2010, can be pre-ordered at Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.
