J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World Movie Magic (Volume 1)

Behind the Harry Potter films sat workshops full of model makers, costumers and concept artists, and this volume opens that work to readers. Jody Revenson assembles production photography, concept art and notes from the people who built the Wizarding World on screen, covering sets, props, creatures and costume design. The interest here is in the craft: how a corridor was dressed, how a creature moved from sketch to shot, how a prop had to survive repeated takes. It reads as a film companion rather than a retelling of the stories. Production notes: • Production stills and concept artwork from the film series. • Sections devoted to sets, props, creatures and costume work. • Comments from the crew who designed and built them. • A companion volume that stands beside the novels rather than repeating them. For film fans, design students and collectors following the Wizarding World; written by Jody Revenson, published by Candlewick Press and available at Boipoka.
