‘ He wants Harry dead… Black lost everything the night Harry stopped You-Know-Who, & he’s had twelve years alone in Azkaban to brood on that…’ There’s a murderer on the loose & he has his sights set on Harry Potter; the boy who lived is in danger once more. Harry has never heard of notorious mass-murderer Sirius Black when he runs away from home one summer night, with only his owl, Hedwig, & his school trunk. But before he knows it, Harry is whisked away on the Knight Bus (“emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard”) & finds himself screeching towards The Leaky Cauldron & his next year at Hogwarts. But the shade of ‘ The Grim’, the worst wizarding omen of death, is following him & nowhere is safe, not even Hogwarts. For the school is being guarded by fearsome Dementors, the guards of Azkaban prison, waiting to suck out the souls of the living with their terrifying kiss. Nothing is certain in a world where even time itself may not be what it seems. Baffling Boggarts, portentous tea-leaves, silver stags & a soaring journey on Hippogriff wings await you, if you dare to turn the page. Waterstones calls you to look for the light in the darkest of places in this haunting third instalment of JK Rowling’s award-winning series. Do you solemnly swear you are up to no good?

Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone: Harrius Potter Et Philosophi
Lapis (Hardback)

Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis; Caput Primum; Puer qui Vixit; 'Dominus et Domina Dursley, qui vivebant in aedibus Gestationis Ligustrorum numero quattor signatis...' this opening, also known as 'Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive...' has become one of the most read opening chapters in the world. Newly translated into Latin for the first time, this is following in the steps of other great children's classics, including Winnie the Pooh (winnie ille pu) and Paddington Bear (ursus nomine paddington). The huge task of translating into Latin (most translations are done from Latin) has been undertaken by Peter Needham, who taught Latin at Eton for over 30 years. James Morwood, of Oxford University, has said of the translation, 'The translation is great stuff. It is
accurate and fluent, but it is much more than that. It has been carried off with wit, inventiveness, sensitivity and panache. I find it impossible to think of its being better done.'
