Harry Potter: The Grimoire of Magical Objects

The grimoire of magical objects is divided into nine chapters that refer to types of accessories or to places. After a stop at Hogwarts, between discoveries of the Great Hall, school documents, student and teacher accessories and Quidditch gear, you set off toward the Philosopher's Stone and then the Triwizard Tournament before flying off on your broom. Food and drink are also covered in this guide, as are the various publications found in the wizarding world. A whole chapter is devoted to the Weasley twins' shop before looking at wizard inventions and finishing with the Horcruxes and the Deathly Hallows.

With its carefully designed layout, many photos - some of them previously unseen - adorn the pages of this guide and take you on a visually magical journey. Between models and previously unseen sketches, there is plenty to enjoy and to bring replicas to life with your own hands. The book lets you find out the manufacturing or filming secrets behind the saga's iconic objects. It gives you a sense of the enormous work behind bringing the world of Harry Potter to the big screen. However, the content on these artifacts is sometimes far from exceptional, which is a real shame. Some presentations simply set the context and tell you a piece of the story without even trying to go any further. Clearly, you do not need a book to learn passages from a film you have no doubt already watched over and over. This official book is still a nice addition to your Harry Potter book collection.
