It was written by the Herbologist and Hogwarts Headmistress Phyllida Spore, and, as its name implies, covers a thousand different varieties of herbs and fungi found in the magical world.

Behind the scenes[]
- In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, when Harry buys the book, it is titled One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi, but later in the same book, Harry is mentioned looking up 'dittany' in One Hundred Magical Herbs and Fungi. This error, not found in the U.S. text, is corrected in later editions.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, this book has a blueish cover, but in Pottermore the cover is green.
