Complete with a Dementor… not Harry Potter’s idea of flipbook fun.

Fore-edge painting
A fore-edge painting is a scene painted on the edges of the pages of a book. There are two basic forms, including paintings on edges that have been fanned and edges that are closed; thus with the first instance a book edge must be fanned to see the painting and in the second the painting is on the closed edge itself and thus should not be fanned. A fanned painting is one that is not visible when the book is closed.
The earliest fore-edge paintings date possibly as far back as the 10th century; these earliest paintings were symbolic designs. Early English fore-edge paintings, believed to date to the 14th century, presented heraldic designs in gold and other colours.

Finger-licking reading for the kids
Personally I think licking your fingers to turn pages is just nasty, especially if it is a book from the library. The kid in this GIF is just figuring it out it seems!

My book of roses
It is telling that in this age of the internet, e-books and the like, still many people reach out to open the pages and lose themselves in a good book.
