Magical Theory was a magical reference book written by Adalbert Waffling and was used as a textbook for first-year students at Hogwarts.[1] It was available at the Hogwarts Library, or for sale at Flourish and Blotts bookstore for two Galleons.[2]
History[]
During the 1991–1992 school year, a Gryffindor student lost their copy of Magical Theory on the Hogwarts grounds and posted a notice requesting its return on the Gryffindor pasteboard. Harry Potter found it near Hagrid's Hut and returned it to the student, receiving a Chocolate Frog Card depicting Mopsus for his trouble.[4]
Behind the scenes[]
- In the first film, the book's cover is red. In the video game, it is greenish yellow. On Pottermore, it is black.
- At the Durmstrang Institute, Магичен Теория is a required textbook. "Магичен Теория" is an incorrect Bulgarian translation of "Magical Theory". Durmstrang students could be seen carrying this book during the Triwizard Tournament in the 1994–1995 school year at Hogwarts in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
