Muggles and Magic: an Unofficial Guide to J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter Phenomenon (Revised and Expanded 3rd Edition) by George Beahm
In this book, Beahm makes it his mission to unravel the mystery of Rowling's series by looking at her life; her life as a writer; Harry Potter in films (through Goblet of Fire); Harry Potter books (through Half-Blood Prince);a transcription of a reading featuring Rowling, Stephen King, and John Irving in 2006; and various Harry Potter websites.
All in all, the book is very informative and offers up a similar foundational background to the one provided in Anelli's Harry: A History.
What really makes this book stand out is the photos taken at various Harry Potter conferences around the world.
Even having read Anelli's work, Beahm's book is still enjoyable. I would definitely recommend reading it.
