A review by nicolet2018
Harry Potter Film Wizardry by Brian Sibley
4.0
This was such a treat to read. Definitely a must read for Harry Potter fans but moreso if you have watched the movies. It would have been even better if I rewatched the movies while reading each section to get more context. Loved the design of the book and the extras.
There was a Hogwarts Acceptance letter, Marauders Map, Quidditch World Cup Program, Borgin and Burkes catalogue, Wesleys Wizard Wheezes store catalogue, Potion label stickers, put out and fold paper renditions of Hogsmede, Ministry of Magic warning poster and more. The fan in me went nuts!
I smiled as I read through familiar scenes and can't imagine how many years it took to make the movies. They were definitely well made and make me giddy watching thrm again especially the first few. Looking back the movies kept very close to the source material and that was great.
I liked reading about the concept, costumes, behind the scenes and actor/actresses thoughts. I did not know just how much work went into small details I had not noticed while watching the movies.
A great gift for a Harry Potter fan. Now I am gonna rewatch the movies and reread the books!
