A wonderful book for first-years, fans and fine folk!, Nov 17 2010

This review is from: Harry Potter: a Popup Book: Based on the Film Phenomenon (Hardcover)
The Harry Potter Pop-Up book is the type of thing that comes along once in a while and reminds you that not all art is found in galleries and museums. Overall, the quality of this book is exceptionally good, something I would not have expected from a book that costs under $50 (let alone the current price of under $20).At first, I was alarmed by the intricacy of some of the pop-ups, especially the Hogwarts Castle's tall spires and minarets, but the pages all open and close without folding, creasing or anything to cause concern. Truly, this is a remarkable feat of paper-engineering (is that a profession?)
In addition to the main pop-ups, which are stunning, there are numerous extra interactive bits on every page. From invitations, to letters, to small sized pop-ups, this book is filled with wonderful details. The main pop-ups, and the extras on each page, are made of high-quality cardboard.
The text reads easily enough for a child, but is detailed enough for fans to get a tantalizing taste of anything, from a description of how the special effects were done, to stories about the actors themselves.
This is simply a phenomenal book.

For Harry Potter Fans Young and Old, Nov 21 2010

This review is from: Harry Potter: a Popup Book: Based on the Film Phenomenon (Hardcover)
Both ruggedly built and finely crafted, this book is a delightful blend of exceptionally detailed art and in-depth, behind-the-scenes information that both children and adults can enjoy equally. When I first opened the book, I was enthralled with the breathtaking art. The pages are lush and realistic; flipping through them is like flying through the world of Harry Potter on your Firebolt.As if the fantastic artwork were not enough to make me buy this book, the unbelievable amount of source information on the filming of the Harry Potter franchise puts this book in a rank of its own. I have seen other well-made pop-up books about famous films, but I have never before seen one that explains about how the film was made and how the scenes were conceived. This book goes so far as to tell you the real-life name of Hedwig and the fact that the owl had "stand-ins." Because of this level of detailed information, reading it is a very satisfying learning experience. And if you are thinking that this information targets a more mature audience, think again. This book's descriptions of behind-the-scenes facts are written in a manner that most reading levels can easily grasp.
Adding together the brilliant artwork and informative content of this book, I would highly recommend its purchase to any Harry Potter fan.

Must Have book for all Harry Potter Fans, Nov 16 2010
By Tom Nelson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Harry Potter: a Popup Book: Based on the Film Phenomenon (Hardcover)
I took an early lunch break and headed to Barnes and Noble to get my copy of the Pop Up book. I was glad to have gone early, because I wasn't alone and when I left the store, there were only a few copies left.The book has five pop ups, which are of Diagon Alley, Hogwarts, Magical Creatures, Magical Games and sports and the Dark Arts and they're accompanied by little side pop ups and interactive features. I'm amazed at how much stuff they put into the book. I feel like every time I open it, there is something I hadn't seen before.
I think all the pop ups are great, but where are Ron and Hermione? They are nowhere in this book. I would have liked to see them in at least one pop up. Even though there is no supporting cast, I still think this book is a must have for all Potter fans.
Listmania!
