Summary

Beginning with the historical links between magic and science, this book focuses on some of the magic that appears in the Harry Potter stories - much of it having a long tradition, such as invisibility cloaks and broomsticks - and shows how cutting-edge science can explain much of it.

The Science of Harry Potter Summary

The Science of Harry Potter: How Magic Really Works by Roger Highfield

As Highfield reminds us, wizard actually means wise man - and wizardry and science were closely related fields before Newton. The Science of Harry Potter aims to shed light not only on Harry Potter's magical realm, but also on the magic that is taking place in labs and science classrooms in our own muggle world.
