History[]

"I know all about you, of course — I got a few extra books, for background reading, and you're in Modern Magical History and The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts and Great Wizarding Events of the Twentieth Century."
Hermione Granger meeting with Harry Potter for the first time[src]

Some time before September of 1991, Hermione Granger had read this book before meeting Harry for the first time on board the Hogwarts Express.[1] After the Reappearance of the Dark Mark at the 1994 Quidditch World Cup, she commented that she had read about the significance of the Dark Mark after seeing it conjured in the sky.[2] In 1997, Hermione considered this book as she was sorting supplies for their journey. In the end, she decided to bring it with them.[4]
