Harry Potter lives in a world that is both magical and historical. Hogwarts pupils ride an old-fashioned steam train to school, notes are taken on parchment with quill pens, and Muggle legends come to life in the form of werewolves, witches, and magical spells. This book is the first to explore the real history in which Harry's world is rooted.
Did you know that bezoars and mandrakes were fashionable luxury items for centuries? Find out how Europeans first developed the potions, spells, and charms taught at Hogwarts, from Avada Kedavra to love charms. Learn how the European prosecution of witches led to the Statute of Secrecy, meet the real Nicholas Flamel, see how the Malfoys stack up against Muggle English aristocrats, and compare the history of the wizarding world to real-life history.

I did find it annoying that this version of "Hogwarts, a Real History" focusing on the European context, there is constant reference to the American title "HP and the Sorcerer's Stone." Why not "...the Philosopher's Stone"? What does this title change tell us about historical context, particularly what Americans don't know?
maybe not a bezoar, but surely Lapis lazuli
