Review

I picked this book up with some birthday money, and I’m so freaking glad I did! This book was so fun to read through, and I loved every second of it–especially how interactive it was. There were so many fun things to pull out, flip through, and admire.

It was interesting and enjoyable to experience all the fun little extras that go with the movie and to laugh a bit more with the characters and learn a little about the production. I will say, though, that if you’re looking for an in-depth examination of the making of the movie, this is not the book that is going to give you that. But, if you are looking for a beautiful, interactive book with fun tidbits scattered throughout, then I highly recommend checking this one out.

When I say this book is beautiful, I really mean it. This book is so aesthetically pleasing I may have drooled a bit while reading it. This is a gorgeous addition to my shelf and to my Harry Potter collection. I’m so in love with it.

I definitely recommend this book to anyone who thinks it sounds interesting or anyone looking to add to their Harry Potter collection. This is a beautiful book I know I will enjoy flipping through again and again!
