Extra, extra! Read all about it! Warner Brothers reports that the studio is releasing Harry Potter: Page to Screen: The Complete Filmmaking Journey. The eight-volume collection is designed to resemble a bookshelf at Hogwarts;
“Six of the books focus on the workings of the creative departments behind the films — wardrobe, props, special effects, and the like — while the seventh is a commemorative keepsake offering an intimate look at the relationships that developed between the cast and crew over the decade it took to produce all eight films. But the best part by far is the eighth book: a scale replica of The Monster Book of Monsters”
So maybe it’s not worth $1000, but if you act quickly, you can get it for $600 pre-order on Amazon. The set is limited to 3000 editions worldwide, so ACT QUICKLY!!!
Here’s a list of the extras:
* A cloth-covered case, styled to look like a shelf from a shop in Diagon Alley
* A cloth-bound edition of Harry Potter: Page to Screen
* Seven additional volumes detailing the Harry Potter creative team’s ten years of extensive efforts:
