A must have for every Potter fan(atic)!,
By
This review is from: Harry Potter Film Wizardry (Hardcover)
I pre-ordered this book and it arrived today, and I cannot emphasize the amount of work and thought that went into its creation! There is one surprise after another with each turn of the page, and enough content to remain engaging throughout multiple reads (not unlike Rowling's literary masterpieces that inspired these films). Not to mention the preview images for the yet-to-be-released Deathly Hallows films! It is well worth the money for anyone who loves Harry Potter as much as I do! A big thanks to Warner Brothers and Brian Sibley from a ridiculously enormous fan!

I love it so much! This book is really precious to me. I think it's really detailed and complete. The information is really interesting and/or funny. And the little things added are amazing. I have nothing to complain. I think this book is a wonderful thing to have!!

Charming book (excuse the pun!),
This review is from: Harry Potter Film Wizardry (Hardcover)
This book has phenomenal detailing and great insight into various features of the movie. It was so beautiful, captivating and exciting to read that not only did I purchase my boyfriend one, but I was quick to get myself my own copy. You even get a detailed Marauder's map and while it's smaller than original, it's just as beautiful (and the original runs for 40 bucks alone!). I wish it was created after Deathly Hallows two so more information on that movie could be included along with details from it, but that isn't a con at all, as this book is darn-near-perfection! Highly recommended!
