 | | Late last year, J.K. Rowling distressed zillions of readers by announcing that the fifth novel in her Harry Potter saga would not appear in 2001. |
 | | The author sweetened this dismal news, at least a little, by promising to make available two books regularly read by students at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: Quidditch Through the Ages (Scholastic; 56 pages; $3.99) by Kennilworthy Whisp, and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (Scholastic; 42 pages; $3.99) by Newt Scamander. |
 | | Neither of these cleverly factitious offerings, both of course written by Rowling, will make much sense to those not already steeped in Potter lore. |
