— Description[src]

A Study of Recent Developments in Wizardry was a book containing detailed information on recent developments in wizardry.[2][3][4] This book was kept in the Hogwarts Library from at least 1987[1] to 1991.[2][3][4]

History[]

"[...] No wonder we couldn't find Flamel in that Study of Recent Developments in Wizardry. He's not exactly recent if he's six hundred and sixty-five, is he?"
Ron Weasley[src]

In the 1987–1988 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Andre Egwu told Jacob's sibling that he's been reading the book.[1]

Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger unsuccessfully used the book as research material while looking for information on Nicolas Flamel.[3] After discovering Flamel was more than six hundreds years old, Ron Weasley commented that it was no wonder they failed to find him in a book with such a title, since he was born in the Middle Ages.[4]
