The world of witchcraft can be dark and dangerous. One six-syllable spell can kill you; various potions can deprive anyone of their will; magical creatures can tear even the bravest sorcerer to pieces. This is what makes noble acts of heroism more powerful and more necessary. Having a wand can give you courage, but magic is not the only thing you need in the wizarding world to act bravely. In this collection of notes by J.K. Rowling, you will read about love, life's tragedies and the unbending dignity of Minerva McGonagall, the tragic fate of Remus Lupin, the reckless behavior of a certain Sylvanus Kettleburn and much more.
