The first four books in this collection entitled "Cinematic Guide" look at four of the essential characters of the saga: the brave Harry Potter, the clever Hermione Granger, the devoted Ronald Weasley and the powerful Albus Dumbledore. Each of these books presents the story and the development of the characters in the films. The text is accompanied by images all taken from the films. The fifth book, for its part, presents the four houses of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which are Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Enhanced with photos and quotes from the films, this guide presents information about each of the houses as well as the highlights experienced in the saga on screen.

The content of the books about the characters is as simplistic as it is repetitive. You will find neither new information nor hidden secrets in these pages. Quite the opposite, since the text simply recounts in summary form the events that happen to each character while including a few quotes. The characters' stories in the films are highlighted through their families and their adventures. The guide on the houses of Hogwarts school details the qualities needed to be placed in one house or another, the colors of each one and the leaders at their head.
Once again, the book will not bring much in terms of information. The Film Guide book collection offers very limited depth, while the content, and above all its layout, turns out to be rather crude for a book from the franchise. Focused on the films, the guides provide visual content that is far from amazing and has been seen many times before. As for the data, it lacks anything new. A quick and easy read, these books can be of interest to people who are just discovering the Harry Potter films and want to immerse themselves further in the universe. However, they will be far from delighting fans, who will find nothing very magical about them.
