HARRY POTTER: A HISTORY OF MAGIC

released OUT NOW! 2017 | e | dVd

While Potter fans may be disappointed there’s not more about the books and films, this BBC doc puts a new spin on the series by delving into the historical figures and folklore that inspired JK Rowling – via the British Library’s exhibition.

Some links with the books feel tenuous, but Rowling is a chatty, informative interviewee, while the presence of Potter stars adds a hint of glamour.

Extras None. Richard Edwards
