Illustrated by J.K. Rowling Dedication:
Rowling wrote this book along with Quidditch Through the Ages for charity.
The book is designed to look like a Hogwarts textbook. It has slash marks on it as if some fierce creature has taken a swipe at the book with its claws. There is a sticker on the front with the words "Property of:" followed by Harry Potter's signature.
Facts and Trivia
There are scribbled notes in the book, scrawled there by Harry or his friends.
On the inside front cover is a bookplate: This book belongs to:" followed by Harry's signature again. Underneath that is written the following exchange:
"Shared by Ron Weasley because his fell apart"
"Why don't you buy a new one then?"
"Write on your own book Hermione"
"You bought all those dungbombs on Saturday. You should have bought a new book instead."
"Dungbombs rule"
On the title page is a game of hangman between Harry and Ron, who has lost the game. The word, which he didn't get, was ACROMANTULA. Next to the little stick figure is a drawing of a spider with the words "you die Weasley." There is also a game of tic-tac-toe and the words "Harry loves Moaning Myrtle. "
On the index page is written: "CHUDLEY CANNONS" under which is written, "write a decent team in my book for a change Weasley"
