Is the book worth it..eh..maybe. If you haven't read the movie magic/vault books, then by all means, yes this book is worth it. If you want to read the artifact vault, movie locations, etc books, then maybe hold off on this one as all those books are expensive as well, and you will learn a lot more from those books than this one.
Go behind-the-scenes and discover the gorgeous concept art of Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, and the other magical locations of the Wizarding World with this miniature art book based on the Harry Potter films.

There is much attention to detail, even including the printed on name plate at the beginning of the book. Keep the fascinating magical creatures of the wizarding world close at hand with this miniature art book featuring concept art from the Harry Potter films.The book begins with a foreward from Dan, Rupert, and Emma, who gush about how much of an impact the series made in their lives. Dan remarked on the journey both he and Harry endured in the ten years; Rupert took pride in playing brave Ron Weasley, the "ultimate ginger," in his words; and Emma voiced her respect for her young, annoying, brainy Muggle-born fictional counterpart she thought she had nothing in common with early in the series, but who she embraced with all her heart by the end.

The Thread of Life: Twelve Old Italian Tales, retold by Domenico Vittorini (Crown, 1995), OCLC 28709363; Running Press Kids; New Ed edition, 2003 There was no written brief, and no correspondence with the book’s author, JK Rowling – just a conversation with Cunningham, who had taken a chance on Harry Potter after 12 other publishers turned it down.

I would do it completely differently now,” he said. “Harry was about to get on the train at King’s Cross, so I felt he should just be in any old clothes. I would put him in something different now.

It’s how it feels to me. That old-fashioned steam train. Those yellow stars in the smoke. The look of wonder on Harry’s face. Maybe it’s because this is the first Harry Potter I ever saw, but to me the cover is full of magic. I would love to pass on the love of books to another generation,” he says. “It took me a long time to discover the joy of reading, and to realise it’s not a chore… I think JK Rowling did that with the Harry Potter books.” Swing Around the Sun, poems by Barbara Juster Esbensen (the Fall season; Lerner Publishing Group, 2002) I would have bought this book for the concept art alone.

One small quibble: I do hope the publishers will re-print a revised edition of this to include information from Part II of The Deathly Hallows.

The books size (and yes weight) means that the heavy gauge paper have huge illustrations of the world that Harry Potter inhabited - so you have images that never before have been seen in hugh high quality spreads. Sono stata molto felice e appena il mio ragazzo me lo ha consegnato sono rimasta a bocca aperta incredula di quanto, un piccolo mattoncino come questo potesse farmi battere così tanto il cuore.
