It also includes early versions of Rowlings books that were rejected by other publishers.The show has two rooms. They are divided up based on the subjects offered at Hogwarts. Areas include Potions, Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures and Defense Against the Dark Arts.Each area describes the stories and beliefs that Rowling included in her books.Included in the exhibition are discussions of alchemy, the European traditions that led to modern chemistry, and the Ripley Scroll-a six-meter-long document from the 1500s.
