Editorials

From Barnes & Noble

In late 2010, thousands of Hogwarts fans discovered that the first edition of this coffee table spectacular was the perfect accompaniment to the just released Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1. Now that the series of eight movies is complete, author Brian Sibley has revised and updated Harry Potter Film Wizardry to incorporate the full cycle. Like its predecessor, this oversized hardcover contains ample goodies, including removable facsimile reproductions of props, paper ephemera from the movies, unpublished Harry Potter photography and artwork, and exclusive revelations from the stars. A gift in any season.
