A review by bookishlysophie
Harry Potter Film Wizardry by Brian Sibley
5.0
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.
