In 1997, Hermione considered this book as she was sorting supplies for their mission to find Horcruxes. Hermione later sent a strongly worded letter to the book's publisher condemning its revisionist history, hoping that they would amend its text to include Hogwarts house-elves. However, Hermione showed slight frustration with the book when scathingly renaming it in her fourth year because it did not mention the use of house-elves at Hogwarts, even going so far as to suggest a couple of alternative titles for it: A Revised History of Hogwarts and A Highly Biased and Selective History of Hogwarts Which Glosses Over the Nastier Aspects of the School. The book's removal from the Hogwarts Library when the Chamber of Secrets was opened caused Hermione great frustration, as despite her fondness for the book, she had left it behind that year due to lack of space because of the many texts assigned by Gilderoy Lockhart. Three of the things that she brought up were the Great Hall's Enchanted Ceiling that showed the weather outside, the fact that one could not Apparate or Disapparate on Hogwarts grounds, and the fact that electronic devices did not work within the grounds. It was Hermione Granger's favourite book, and she often referred to it on many things concerning Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The Hogwarts Library kept several copies of the book, including a rare first-edition copy which the Librarian Madam Pince made read-only, and would never let students take out of the Library. However, students and staff may have admired its ornate cover from a distance. The book's original hand-written manuscript was stored in one of the Hogwarts Library's annexes, and could be only read by special appointment. The book was also very popular in Harry Potter's second year at Hogwarts, when every copy was checked out of the library due to the reopening of the Chamber of Secrets. A copy was seen on a windowsill in Hogwarts during that year. The book was written by Bathilda Bagshot and published in or before 1991.
