In Quidditch Through the Ages, which is supposedly published for Muggles using the Hogwarts Library's copy as a reference, Madam Pince is mentioned in Albus Dumbledore's foreword. She is described as extremely reluctant to let one of the books in her care be made available to Muggles, to the point that Dumbledore had to "pry each of her fingers individually from the spine" of the book. Madam Pince herself gives a written warning, threatening the readers that the consequences of mistreating the book will be "as horrible as it is in my power to make them". Quidditch Through the Ages is both a fictional book described in the Harry Potter series of childrens novels by the British author Joanne Rowling, and a real book by that author. ...

Rowlings Harry Potter series of books. ...
