What I Thought: OH MAN was this amazing. I was given this as a birthday gift from my aunt this year, and I've never seen anything like this before. The first quarter or so of the book is a detailed rundown of all of the movies- how actors were hired, how intense parts of the set were designed, and problems run into. There are lots of interviews and quotes from both the cast and crew and so much good behind the scenes information.
The rest of the book is broken down into Characters, Locations, Creatures, and Artifacts and is full of amazing pictures and information on everything. There are so many beautiful concept art pictures and actual shots from set and continuity pictures and just, so much beauty in this book.
I was so lucky to be gifted this, and I highly recommend it to any Harry Potter fan.
Read this if: you're a Harry Potter fan. Seriously, if you love Harry, you need to read this.
