In relation to books and other media, the term "trilogy" is normally used to indicate a series with three volumes. This may indicate that ''The Travel Trilogy'' is not actually a work within its own right, but rather a compilation of three of Lockhart's prevously published works. If this were so, this might indicate why so many students had purchased it, despite it not being a required text.
