Overall: ⭐⭐⭐ 
Characters: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 
Plot: ⭐⭐⭐ 
Ending: ⭐⭐ 
 
————- 
Really interesting 
 
No original content in this though—entirely interviews 
 
and the formatting is a bit terrible and hard to read

Quotes: 
 
“Alan Rickman? Literally, you give him three lines: he’ll take a minute and a half to say them.” 
 
“Some sense of real life and magic to it, but that was still comfortable to look at.” 
 
“Basically, she’ll do whatever it takes to get a story—a story that she’s already written in her head.”

Not very much new information but it's very interesting and always nice to reread and refresh the mind about the Harry Potter movies. Besides I love the extras such as the letter, the Quidditch flyer, the Yule Ball invitation and so on.

This book was really wonderful. It had cast and crew interviews, a look at the sets, film locations and photographs and all the stuff you'd expect, in full glossy magnificent colour. Visually it was stunning. But the real joy is in all the extra stuff inside the book as pullouts and gifts. It featured wanted posters for wizard criminals, and had extras like a Hogwarts letter, a fold out map of Diagon Alley, an auction booklet for Borgin & Burkes, advanced potion making sticker book, Honeydukes stickers, Quidditch World Cup Final programme, Yule Ball programme, pull out Black family tapestry, educational decree posters, a Weasley shop catalogue, Ministry of Magic ID card, film art booklet and a Marauders Map! The extras were fantastic for kids or hardcore fans like me!

I thought this book was very informational, but it could have had more on the actors and actresses. Plus they left out a lot of the scenes from teh movies, and didn't have the last movie.

Justo cuando creía conocerme el 90% de los tecnicismos de la grabación de la saga llega este libro a darme miles de datos curiosos que realmente no me sirven para nada pero LOS AMO. Aparte estoy encantada con todos los detalles que trae como los decretos de Umbridge, el programa de la Copa Mundial de Quidditch, el catálogo de Weasley's Wizard Wheezes y tantas cosas más, enamoradísima de este libro.

Geweldig boek! Een aanrader voor elke Potterhead. Het boek is mooi ingedeeld met foto's, extra's als catalogi en een mini-marauders map en veel informatie over het maken van de films.
De hele recensie hiervan met wat foto's van de inhoud komt binnenkort op mijn blog.

I visually beautiful book filled with behind-the-scenes details from a variety of sources about the making of the Harry Potter movies. You'd be surprised about the details of the sets, costumes, and props that only ever just get glimpsed in the films, but still makes them so alive.
