The Original Seven (The Heart of the Magic)
The foundation of every fan's shelf. These are the books that started it all.
The one where it all begins! There is nothing quite like the feeling of Harry discovering he’s a wizard for the first time. It’s nostalgic, cozy, and the perfect "comfort read."
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - Narrated by Stephen Fry
Things get a little darker and a lot more mysterious here. Between the flying car and the whispers in the walls, this one always keeps me on the edge of my seat.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - Full-Cast
Widely considered the fan favorite for a reason. We meet Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, and the world of Harry Potter truly starts to feel "grown-up."
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Book 3
This is the turning point. The Triwizard Tournament brings so much excitement, but that ending? It still gives me chills every time I read it.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Book 4
The longest book in the series, but worth every page. It’s angsty, rebellious, and features the villain we all love to hate: Dolores Umbridge.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Narrated by Stephen Fry
I love the deep dive into Voldemort’s backstory here. It feels like a true detective story mixed with teenage romance and high-stakes magic.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Book 6
The grand finale. It’s an emotional rollercoaster that ties everything together beautifully. Keep the tissues nearby for this one!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)
The Extended Universe (Lore & Legends)
For the fans who want to know everything about the history and rules of the Wizarding World.
While it’s written as a script, seeing Harry as a father and following Albus and Scorpius on their own adventure is a unique way to return to Hogwarts.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Official Playscript
Scamander’s field guide is a must-have. It’s fun to see all the creatures mentioned in the main books get their own detailed entries.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The...
If you’ve ever wondered about the history of the Golden Snitch or why there are so many fouls in Quidditch, this "textbook" is surprisingly hilarious and informative.
Quidditch Through the Ages - Illustrated ...
These are the fairy tales wizarding children grow up with. "The Tale of the Three Brothers" is the standout here, providing the backbone for the Deathly Hallows.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard: Large Print ...
I absolutely love this one for daily inspiration. It’s a 365-day journey through the series with beautiful illustrations and quotes from the books that match the seasons. It’s like having a little bit of Hogwarts magic on your nightstand every single...
Harry Potter: A Magical Year - Jim Kay
Behind the Scenes & Companion Reads
To round out your 16-book list, these picks offer a deeper look into the making of the magic.
This explores the darker side of the wizarding world, including the history of Azkaban and the backstories of some of our favorite (and least favorite) professors.
Short Stories from Hogwarts of Power, Politics
A beautiful look at the bravery of characters like Minerva McGonagall and Remus Lupin. It adds so much heart to the existing story.
Short Stories from Hogwarts of Heroism
The ultimate reference book. It’s filled with charts, maps, and illustrations that make the world feel tangible and real. Perfect for browsing on a rainy afternoon.
The Harry Potter Wizarding Almanac
This one links the fictional world to real-world history and folklore. It’s fascinating to see where the inspiration for potions and spells actually came from!
