Harry Potter Page to Screen: The Complete Filmmaking Journey by Bob McCabe
5.0
This gargantuan tome details every stage of the process that transformed the J.K. Rowling books into the Warner Bros. movies. When the movies originally came out, I was seriously disappointed with the obvious discrepancies from movie to movie as well as some of the missing plot (as almost every fan of the books was, I suppose). This book gave me a look at the decision making process that the producers, directors, and most importantly the screenplay writer followed, and allowed for a better understanding of the theatrical series as a whole.
One of my favorite aspects of the book, however, was the artwork. From conceptual art detailing the costumes, artifacts, and locations to the several different styles of death-eater masks and wands, it was a beautiful (and at times macabre)supplement to the Harry Potter experience as a whole. This is a must have for any Harry Potter enthusiast!
