‘No Muggle Prime Minister has ever set foot in the Ministry of Magic, for reasons most succinctly summed up by ex-Minister Dugald McPhail (term of office 1858-1865): “their puir wee braines couldnae cope wi’ it.”’ – 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 power, politics and pesky poltergeists give you a glimpse into the darker side of the wizarding world, revealing the ruthless roots of Professor Umbridge, the lowdown on the Ministers for Magic and the history of the wizarding prison Azkaban. You will also delve deeper into Horace Slughorn’s early years as Potions master at Hogwarts - and his acquaintance with one Tom Marvolo Riddle.

- "一定要在满月时被已变成狼形的狼人咬到，才可能变成狼人。当狼人的唾液交融在受害者的血液中，就会发生感染。"
- "若是遭到维持人形的狼人攻击，受害人可能会发展出一些潜藏的狼性，例如喜欢吃生肉，但除此之外，并不会造成长期的不良影响。但是，任何狼人的咬伤或抓伤都会留下永久性的伤痕，不论被攻击时狼人是否已变身为狼的形体。"
- "复方药剂的原文(Polyjuice)带有数种意涵。“Poly”有“众多”之意，意味着魔药能够让你化为各种不同的人的外形，而“Polyjuice”也和“波吕丢刻斯”的原文(Polydeuces)发音相近，指希腊神话中的一对双胞胎。"
- "奇洛(Quirrell)源自“Quirinus”这个字，是罗马神话中的神，相关信息不多，但通常与战争有关。这隐含着奇洛其实并不如外表那般温驯。“Quirrell”和松鼠的原文发音相近(squirrel)，有小巧可爱且无害的意思，但也与“quiver”一词有关，指涉该角色天生神经质的个性。"
