The Magical Worlds of Harry Potter: A Treasury of Myths, Legends, and Fascinating Facts[4] is a guide to the fictional Harry Potter universe, written by David Colbert.[5] It explores the references to history, legends, and literature in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels. Colbert conceived the idea for The Magical Worlds of Harry Potter while quizzing his nephew and nieces about the mythological references in the novels. He later wrote the book while teaching a seminar on self-publishing to graduate students at the University of North Carolina. The book was published in March 2001, without approval from Rowling, and has since received positive reviews from critics. Updated versions were published to include references to the later novels following their releases, the most recent being in 2007 by Michael O'Mara Books Limited following the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
