Practical Defensive Magic and Its Use Against the Dark Arts

A set of Defence Against the Dark Arts guides.

This set of books was Harry's Christmas present from Sirius and Lupin in his fifth year (OP23). At a guess, Sirius supplied the funds, while Lupin actually went out and purchased the books. They contain moving, colour illustrations of all the hexes and jinxes they describe. It's not clear how many books are in the set but there is definitely more than one.
