"Immerse yourself in the world of the spectacular Harry Potter film series..." - 'Harry Potter Film Wizardry'

As you all have probably guessed, I love reading. I can get into almost any type of book, and I almost always would rather be reading. I especially love going to the library to look around for my next amazing book find. 

So there I was, at the library looking for something to read. I was in the music section for a little while, and afterwards, I decided to go to the movie section to see what I would find to read. And then there it was, on display.
Harry Potter Film Wizardry: From the Creative Team Behind the Celebrated Movie Series

This magical (pun intended) book shows everything you would ever want to know about the Harry Potter movies. Stories from the cast, pictures of props and sets, special effects, and everything behind the scenes was packed into this book, put on a library book shelf, and presented, by fate, to me. So I checked it out and I read it. And I love it!
The book goes along with the movies as they are in order, and shows behind the scenes stuff in the order they appear in the movie. With some exceptions of course. One of the first pages is about Privet Drive and has a pop out Hogwarts letter and envelope.

The letter looks almost like it did in the movie!
As I read through the pages, I developed some favorite parts of this book.
I loved the page on Diagon Alley, because I feel that it would be one of my favorite places to be if I were in the wizarding world.

I loved reading about the cast's reactions to the set of Diagon Alley, and it was interesting to read the Borgin and Burkes pamphlet that is stapled onto the page.
The next page after that had a really cool picture of Hogwarts castle.

Another one of my favorite pages was about the giant chessboard in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Yes, they really did build all of those giant pieces.

And then the page about the Burrow. It was interesting to see how the scene where the Burrow was burnt down was put together. And they really did build a real burrow, then burn it down. "It took six months to build and six minutes to burn down," is a quote about this event from the book.

And if course I fell in love with the Dobby page. Because who doesn't like Dobby, let's be real.

It was really neat to read my next favorite page: Hogsmeade Villiage. The concept art (the first picture) is amazing. The set builders really brought the Villiage to life!

And next is one of my favorite pictures / artifacts. JK Rowling's hand written Black Family tree. Something from the very beginning. 

And of course ... The Marauder's Map

And last but so so SO not least. Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy. You will learn as these blogs go on that Draco is my favorite human character and Tom is my celebrity husband. He just doesn't know it. (I'm really not a stalker)

I loved this book, and I hope to get one for myself! Christmas or my birthday or Flag Day or any other holiday. Hint hint mom and dad!! See you next blog!
