Amazing! Behind the scenes and concept art are a great way to discover how they created the magic of Harry Potter.

This book was fascinating and made me realise just how much attention to detail and thought was put into every tiny part of the harry potter films!! It was really interesting and im going to appreciate these films a lot more now!

ISBN? - 9780857687753

General Subject/s? - Harry Potter / Film / Media / Fantasy

Title? - This is a very comprehensive look at the process of bringing Harry Potter from the book to the film.

General Analysis? - This is a really comprehensive look at the world of Harry Potter, from the scripts and casting right up until the editing process. The way it looks at costume, setting and props in more detail adds something to the world we all know and gives you something new to look out for in the films. There are quite a few books that cover the world of Harry Potter, but this is by far the best one. What lets it down for me is the fact that it's American. The spelling drove me crazy, but that's only a small thing. What I really hope we see in the future is a book by the makers of the films on their experiences.

Recommend? - YES!

I first saw this book at the studio tour and knew I had to get it. All of these type of books for Harry Potter are fun to read. This took me a while (it's ridiculously large) but I loved it. It had everything I wanted. Various pages on costumes, each film, characters etc. It's marvellous. This is such a beautiful looking book. The illustrations are truly remarkable and along with the behind the scene photos you couldn't ask for more. This book was a bit costly but it is definitely worth it. Any harry potter fan will enjoy this, whether you come from page or screen.

This book is a movie Potter fan's ultimate dream. Many details to be discovered and admired. While I am sure Harry Potter is doomed for a reboot in years to come, this series will always hold a place in my heart, and this book is a wonderful memento of the care and craft that went into making the films. Kudos to all involved for the deserved success!!

Anything you could ever need/want to know about the film making process of Harry Potter. For anyone who loves the series and wants to know more information about casting, sets, design and more. (Be careful though this is a HUGE book)
