'Minerva was the Roman goddess of warriors and wisdom. William McGonagall is celebrated as the worst poet in British history. There was something irresistible to me about his name, and the idea that such a brilliant woman might be a distant relative of the buffoonish McGonagall.' - J.K. Rowling
Pottermore Presents is a collection of J.K. Rowling's writing from the Pottermore archives: short reads originally featured on pottermore.com with some exclusive new additions. These eBooks, with writing curated by Pottermore, will take you beyond the Harry Potter stories as J.K. Rowling reveals her inspiration, intricate details of characters' lives and surprises from the wizarding world.
These stories of heroism, hardship and dangerous hobbies profile two of the Harry Potter stories' most courageous and iconic characters: Minerva McGonagall and Remus Lupin. J.K. Rowling also gives us a peek behind the closed curtains of Sybill Trelawney's life, and you'll encounter the reckless, magical-beast-loving Silvanus Kettleburn along the way.
La passione per la letteratura si manifesta fin da subito: a sei anni scrive la prima storia, dal titolo Rabbit, che narra di un coniglietto malato di morbillo. A dodici scrive un romanzo in cui i protagonisti si trovano alle prese con sette diamanti maledetti. Ed è in questi anni scolastici che incontrerà molte delle persone che ispireranno la caratterizzazione dei suoi più importanti personaggi della saga che l'ha consacrata alla letteratura: Harry Potter.
