Reader’s Guides:

These guides were originally written in March of 2002. Since that time, a few edits were made here and there but basically the text remained the same. To get ready for this Canon Celebration, our editors have been revising each one. We’ve added fan artwork to the Guide which illustrates the text. At the bottom in the Commentary section we’ve added a gallery of additional artwork. So even if you’ve read our guides before, please give them another look. And if you’re doing a re-read of the first book, have the Guide to each chapter open as you go! I’m sure you’ll find a lot of information you didn’t know.

Interesting Artwork

We have hundreds and hundreds of pieces of fan artwork in our collection. Some subjects get a lot of depictions — Diagon Alley is a favorite topic, for example, and, well, of course it is! But there are a few pieces which illustrate more unusual moments in the text. Here are a few examples:

Artwork Challenge

We have tons of images of the Burrow, Dementors and Divination. Snape and Potions lessons are another very popular topic. Our Artwork Challenge for all you fan artists out there is to depict one of the lesser known scenes and characters in the series. If we really like your work, we may feature it in the Lexicon! Here are some suggestions from these chapters:

• The lexicon.org/thing/weasley-grandfather-clock/">grandfather clock in the Burrow’s front room that only shows Weasley family locations or if they are in danger (GF10, OP22, HBP5, HBP6)
• The lexicon.org/thing/ireland-national-team/">Ireland National Quidditch Team – both together and individually (GF8)
• Also the lexicon.org/thing/bulgaria-national-team/">Bulgarian Quidditch Team, and its members, although we already have quite a few of Viktor Krum (GF8)
• The group of boasting young wizards who are with Stan Shunpike in the forest trying to impress a veela (GF9)
• Weasley-invented sweets such as the lexicon.org/thing/ton-tongue-toffee/">Ton-Tongue Toffees tested on Dudley Dursley (GF4), or other products from Fred and George’s lexicon.org/thing/skiving-snackbox/">Skiving Snackboxes – for example the lexicon.org/thing/fainting-fancy/">Fainting Fancies, lexicon.org/thing/nosebleed-nougat/">Nosebleed Nougat and lexicon.org/thing/fever-fudge/">Fever Fudge (although maybe not the lexicon.org/thing/puking-pastilles/">Puking Pastilles).

lexicon.org/?attachment_id=43113">lexicon.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/omnioculars_at_the_world_cup-239x300.jpg" alt="" width="239" height="300">lexicon.org/character/potter-family/harry-potter">Harry buys lexicon.org/thing/omnioculars/">Omnioculars for himself, lexicon.org/character/weasley-family/ron-weasley/">Ron and lexicon.org/character/granger-family/hermione-granger/">Hermione before the final of the lexicon.org/event/august-25-1994-final-of-the-422nd-quidditch-world/">1994 Quidditch World Cup (GF7). Omnioculars – which look somewhat like normal binoculars but have extra features such as instant replay and slow-motion – are only mentioned a few more times in the books: during the match (GF8), when Harry happens to find his pair in his pocket later (GF9), and a further three separate occasions during the lexicon.org/source/other-canon/qwc/">Quidditch World Cup tournament in 2014 (lexicon.org/source/other-canon/qwc/">QWC). But while they may not be very important as a magical device, there is something about how Harry interacts with them that is interesting.

He initially uses the Omnioculars to slow down the lexicon.org/thing/bulgaria-national-team/">Bulgarian and lexicon.org/thing/ireland-national-team/">Irish Quidditch team players, as the speed at which they move on the pitch is far too fast for the naked eye to take in. He is therefore somewhat behind “real time” when Ireland scores first. Hermione then scolds him:

“Harry, if you’re not going to watch at normal speed, you’re going to miss things!” — Hermione Granger (GF8)

He is “furious with himself” and turns the dial back to normal speed, and doesn’t slow it down again unless the match is stopped for lexicon.org/thing/foul/">fouls and lexicon.org/thing/penalty/">penalty shots, or an injury. Lesson learned.

In a way, this follows on from another lesson learned – when Harry was in his first year and caught by lexicon.org/character/dumbledore-family/albus-dumbledore/">Albus Dumbledore in front of the lexicon.org/thing/mirror-of-erised/">Mirror of Erised. He told Harry:

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that.” — Albus Dumbledore (PS12)

It will be important for Harry to learn to look forwards rather than backwards – particularly when it comes to the search for the lexicon.org/thing/horcrux/">Horcruxes and lexicon.org/thing/deathly-hallows/">Deathly Hallows later on.

From the Atlas: Dartmoor

We know from the lexicon.org/thing/history-of-the-quidditch-world-cup/">History of the Quidditch World Cup, an lexicon.org/source/essays-by-rowling/">essay written by J K Rowling, that:

“Possibly the most infamous World Cup final of the last few centuries was the Ireland-Bulgaria match of 1994, which took place on Dartmoor….” (lexicon.org/source/other-canon/qwc/">QWC).

lexicon.org/character/kennilworthy-whisp/">Kennilworthy Whisp quotes lexicon.org/character/zacharias-mumps/">Zacharias Mumps’ early description of the game of lexicon.org/item/quidditch">Quidditch, in the book lexicon.org/thing/quidditch-through-the-ages/">Quidditch Through the Ages:

“Choose areas of deserted moorland far from Muggle habitations and make sure that you cannot be seen once you take off on your brooms.” (lexicon.org/source/other-potter-books/qa/qa5/">QA5)

lexicon.org/place/great-britain-united-kingdom/england/west-country/devon/dartmoor/">Dartmoor fits this description. It is located in lexicon.org/place/great-britain-united-kingdom/england/west-country/devon/">Devon (in the lexicon.org/place/great-britain-united-kingdom/england/west-country/">West Country), which is the same county where you find both lexicon.org/place/great-britain-united-kingdom/england/west-country/devon/ottery-st-catchpole/the-burrow/">The Burrow and lexicon.org/place/great-britain-united-kingdom/england/west-country/devon/ottery-st-catchpole/">Ottery St Catchpole. Although the moors are a tourist attraction, they aren’t as busy as some other areas in England. Even in this modern day and age, there is plenty of room to hide a lexicon.org/item/quidditch-world-cup">Quidditch tournament!

Coming up next week…

Hogwarts’ students head back to school again, where a lexicon.org/thing/triwizard-tournament/">mysterious big event is going to take place. Chapters 11 to 18 contain some big surprises for them all, including a rather lexicon.org/character/alastor-mad-eye-moody/">alarming new teacher and a lexicon.org/thing/goblet-of-fire/">fire-filled cup.
