Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Emily who received a very special doll for her birthday. This doll was not like any other doll; it had magical hearing abilities. No matter where Emily was in the house, the doll could hear her every word. Emily was amazed by this extraordinary gift and quickly became inseparable from her new toy. With the doll's magical hearing, Emily could confide in it whenever she felt sad or happy. The doll would listen intently, offering comfort and support just like a real friend.

A History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot Full Printable Perfect Copy - Harry Potter

Thank you for this, but I was curious, how come the ending of the book has events of Scrimgeour's death and more, isn't that after Bathilda died? Or is the idea that this was finished and published after as it is the 2nd Edition. I see the 2nd edition has an unknown publishing date.

the first edition of "A History of Magic" was released when tom ridde was still in Hogwarts (1940), so the first edition was about everything before the first rise of Voldemort and the first Wizarding war, so when the second one was released, Bathilda was already killed, and didnt live to the end of the second war, but she did document everything till her death, and the publishing house (M. L. Books), completed the few remaining pages for her, and released it! hope i helped!

Thank you for the explanation. I'm almost done making my book, I just need to bind it, I figure I'll leave it "like new" rather than aged for now.

A History of Magic, by Bathilda Bagshot, is published by Little Red Books

The book becomes a required textbook at Hogwarts (PS5, PA1).

The doll would listen intently, offering comfort and support just like a real friend. Emily soon realized that the doll's magical hearing went beyond just being a good listener. One day, Emily lost her favorite necklace while playing in the park.

Commentary

Notes

The book does not cover anything later than the end of the nineteenth century (DH16).

The book is one of the books Hermione chose to store in her small pouch with the magically enlarged interior, in case it might prove useful during the quest to find and destroy Voldemort’s Horcruxes (DH16).

Who is Adalbert Waffling

Let’s say you are reading the Harry Potter books in a different language. It is possible you are from a non-speaking English country, as most of the Harry Potter fans are (yes, the Harry Potter phenomenon is worldwide), or you are just trying to learn a different language and thought that reading a book you know very well is a good idea (it is, in fact!). Then, in the first page of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in some foreign language editions, you may find a curious fact: it is not Bathilda Bagshot the author of A History of Magic, but a wizard called Adalbert Waffling. Yes, this happens in the first edition of Harry Potter y el Prisionero de Azkaban (Spanish) and Harry Potter et le Prisonnier d’Azkaban (French), among other translations of the third book.

Who is Adalbert Waffling? The first time we heard of him was in Chapter 5 of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. When Harry receives his Hogwarts letters with indications for his first year, among the books he has to bring to the magical school, it is listed Magical Theory by Mr. Waffling. Magical Theory is shown, in fact, one line below A History of Magic, who every hardcore fan knows was written by Bathilda Bagshot. So how did this error happen in the third book?

I was reading the book in Spanish when I found out about this. My first theory, after checking that the two books were almost together in Philosopher’s Stone, was that maybe the translator went to the first book to check and, on a quick glance, confused both magical authors. Then I realized that this is not how translators work. They don’t check for canon consistency or continuity, they are only responsible for translation continuity. If they didn’t translate the names of the characters, why would they check consistency in this case?

That’s how I realized this error may come directly from the original source. So I got my first edition of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (published by Bloomsbury in the United Kingdom in 1999) and I opened it. The first page was there, with the error that most of the translations around the world copied.

“…and a large leather-bound book (A History of Magic, by Adalbert Waffling) propped open against the pillow.”

This error was fixed later in the British edition, the American edition, and all the editions around the world. But a simple mistake in the original book wide spreaded around the world like an infection. Of course, it isn’t an important one in canon terms, mainly because it was fixed and cleared up later, but an interesting one.

However, it is not the only canon contradiction of Adalbert Waffling. The last book of the series says Dumbledore was in regular correspondence with him (also with Bathilda Bagshot, of course) while he was a teenager. However, Adalbert Waffling’s Chocolate Frog Card, which is canon because it was written by Rowling, says he was born in 1899, after Dumbledore graduated school. This, of course, would be impossible. However, from here, we prefer The Deathly Hallows version, since its canonicity is higher than the Chocolate Frog Cards, so we still believe Dumbledore and Waffling exchanged letters about the Wizarding World.

She was devastated and didn't know what to do. Remembering her doll's special abilities, she ran home and whispered into its ear about her lost necklace. To her surprise, the doll's eyes began to glow, and it started to guide Emily towards the park. As Emily followed the doll, she noticed that it would stop and turn its head whenever they were getting closer to the lost necklace. Finally, they reached a small bush where the doll pointed with its tiny hand. Emily carefully searched through the leaves and, to her delight, found her beloved necklace. From that day onwards, Emily realized that her doll's magical hearing could help her in many different ways. Whenever she needed guidance or assistance, she would simply whisper her troubles to the doll, and it would come up with a solution. Whether it was finding lost items, uncovering secrets, or even predicting the future, the doll's abilities seemed limitless. Word of Emily's magical doll soon spread throughout the town, and people began seeking its help. The doll became renowned for its incredible hearing abilities, and soon enough, it became an important figure in the community. People would come from far and wide to whisper their problems and seek advice from the doll. Emily was proud of her special doll and how it brought joy and comfort to so many people. She never took its magical abilities for granted and always treasured the special bond they shared. The doll with its magical hearing abilities became a symbol of hope, trust, and guidance for everyone who encountered it. In the end, Emily and her doll taught everyone the importance of listening, empathy, and the power of a compassionate ear. They showed that even though the doll had magical hearing, it was ultimately the love and care they shared that made all the difference..

Reviews for "Revealing the secrets of a doll's enhanced auditory perception"

1. John - 2/5 stars - I purchased the "Doll with magical hearing abilities" for my daughter, thinking it would be a unique and entertaining toy. However, I was extremely disappointed with the product. The supposed "magical hearing abilities" were practically non-existent. The doll barely responded to any sound and when it did, the reactions were delayed and random. It definitely did not live up to its advertised features. My daughter quickly lost interest in it and I regretted wasting my money on such a gimmicky toy.

2. Lisa - 1/5 stars - The "Doll with magical hearing abilities" was a complete disappointment. I had high expectations for this toy, but it failed to deliver. The sound recognition feature barely worked, and even when it did, the doll's responses were repetitive and boring. The quality of the doll itself was subpar, with cheap materials and a lack of attention to detail. Overall, it was a waste of money and I would not recommend it to anyone.

3. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was excited to try out the "Doll with magical hearing abilities" for my niece, but unfortunately, it fell short of our expectations. The doll's supposed ability to hear and respond to sounds was hit or miss. It often failed to recognize even loud and clear sounds, leaving my niece frustrated and disinterested. The limited range of responses also made the playtime repetitive and dull. It's a shame because the concept had potential, but the execution was disappointing.
