This book is legit the most awesome book I've ever seen made for a film franchise of which I'm a huge fan of.
No, seriously.
All the pictures, the attractive way this book is put together, the collage, the little text blurbs, the way it looks a little like a book you'd expect to find at Hogwarts.
But most of all, every one of the pull-outs and brochure props you would find in the movies. These are seriously some of the most fun things to look through while you're reading the book.
My favourite piece? The Marauders Map, hands down.
This is a must-have for any Harry Potter fan, particularly those who grew up with and enjoyed the movies.

I have the other extra behind the scenes type books about harry potter, about the characteres, the creatures and the artifacts; this book is like those put together and includes the awesome added bits like the program from the quittich tournament etc that are attached to the pages. But this has stuff that you can take out too like an actual copy of the marauders map, stickers for potion bottles and packaging for some honey dukes candy. This is a really cool book that is wonderfully designed.

It took me forever to read this book, because I read other books inbetween. But this book was absolutely brilliant. It's not the most updated copy, which I need to get. I got this one before the very last movie came out, so it doesn't have anything on that one.
The page layouts and designs in this book are gorgeous. Having worked on the yearbook my senior year of high school, I could really appreciate all the hard work that went into creating the pages.
It was so cool learning about all the work that went into the movies.
I absolutely loved this book. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars.

A well-designed look behind the scenes of the Harry Potter movie franchise. The only bad thing about it is that it doesn't delve very deeply into the supporting actors and it ends before the release of Deathly Hallows, Part 2 so it doesn't have much info on that film either.

I absolutely loved this book!
First off, it's absolutely beautiful. It was designed by the same graphic artists that designed all the graphic and printed materials for the movies (books, newspapers, wanted posters, signs, invitations, the Marauder's Map, etc.) and even contains tons of interactive and removable paper ephemera and facsimile reproductions of props from the movies, such as a program from the Quidditch World Cup and Harry's Hogwart's letter. It was so much fun to play with everything!
I also loved all the great information contained in the book. It is absolutely amazing all the creative talent and attention to detail that went into the making of the HP movies!
I definitely recommend this book to any Harry Potter fan!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, despite being more of a Harry Potter book fan than a Harry Potter film fan, as it was incredibly entertaining and well put together, you could spend hours reading every little tiny detail on the pull outs and posters and truly get a glimpse of what it was like to create real magic in the wizarding world series.
My favourite aspect of this book was the replicas that came with it, everything from the Weasley's Whizard Wheezes catalogue to your very own Yule Ball Invitation- it was a Bookstagrammer's dream! I loved having my own bit of movie history in my hands, beautifully designed by Harry Potter's own MinaLima.
The book contains memories from the actors on set, I always love reading these little bits of trivia and finding out what it must have been like to shoot these films, on occasion it repeats itself but the book does drive home the point that this movie making process was a huge undertaking!
I'd recommend reading this, not only for the fun facts and interesting information but to reminisce on the years gone by, before special effects were as they are now and think about how the films would have been different had they been made today. I adore this book and I'd highly suggest buying it if you buy any Harry Potter companion book.
