The Books of Magic will take alongside Tim Hunter, a pre-Harry-Potter Harry Potter, into the realms of fantasy and magic, all that beyond what humans know. however, while doing so it also takes you through a guide tour to much of humanity's great questions and the puzzles we try to solve about ourselves.
Here you can meet Harry and Hedwig in the first year of Hogwarts with much more grittiness than even the 7th book has. What's not to love? They take their journey through 4 realms, with 4 guides. (Apparently, they stroll through all the worlds of DC, but i know nothing of DC universe and it was still quite enjoyable.)
The artwork is also fantastic (my favourite is the 3rd part one) , and you will take duble the time to look at it closely - its part of the magic.
