Harry Buys School Supplies and Encounters The Monster Book of Monsters

PAGES: 52-54

Harry visits Flourish and Blotts to buy his schoolbooks, where he encounters The Monster Book of Monsters, a required text for Care of Magical Creatures. The books are aggressive, tearing themselves apart inside a cage, much to the frustration of the store manager. Harry is relieved to already own a copy, but he also purchases Unfogging the Future for Divination.
