Short Stories from Hogwarts of Heroism, Hardship and Dangerous Hobbies

‘Minerva was the Roman goddess of warriors and wisdom. William McGonagall is
celebrated as the worst poet in British history. There was something
irresistible to me about his name, and the idea that such a brilliant woman
might be a distant relative of the buffoonish McGonagall.’ – J.K. Rowling
Pottermore Presents is a collection of J.K. Rowling’s writing from the
Pottermore archives: short reads originally featured on pottermore.com with
some exclusive new additions. These eBooks, with writing curated by
Pottermore, will take you beyond the Harry Potter stories as J.K. Rowling
reveals her inspiration, intricate details of characters’ lives and surprises
from the wizarding world. These stories of heroism, hardship and dangerous
hobbies profile two of the Harry Potter stories’ most courageous and iconic
characters: Minerva McGonagall and Remus Lupin. J.K. Rowling also gives us a
peek behind the closed curtains of Sybill Trelawney’s life, and you’ll
encounter the reckless, magical-beast-loving Silvanus Kettleburn along the
way.
