I love these kind of books..beautifully presented and packed with so much info a lot of which you wouldn't normally read about. Would make a fab gift as any HP fan, young or old would enjoy this book.

Si tuviera que elegir lugares del mundo mágico que me gustaría conocer, definitivamente Hogwarts, el Callejón Diagon y Hogsmeade estarían entre mis primeras opciones.

Como eso no es posible (porque evidentemente mi carta de Hogwarts se ha extraviado, pero seguiré esperándola), en este libro podemos visitar al Callejón Diagon creado para las películas de Harry Potter.

Desde el menú del día en El Caldero Chorreante, pasando por varios de los negocios tan conocidos como Ollivanders, Flourish & Blotts, Gringotts y la tienda de los Weasley, las páginas están pobladas de fotos y descripciones de cómo lograron determinados efectos, o muestran en detalle artículos que en la pantalla tal vez ocuparon menos de un segundo. Es increíble el trabajo escenográfico que se realizó para estas películas, teniendo en cuenta que en algunos casos las tomas eran muy cortas.

En general cada par de páginas se visita una tienda nueva, pero el libro tiene un montón bonus como pequeñas tarjetas (como aquella del Autobús Noctámbulo que indica sus precios), dinero mágico o minilibros (cuando visitamos Ollivanders, que nos muestra las varitas de los personajes más conocidos). Hablando del Autobús Noctámbulo, también se cuenta cómo logró se armó para la película, a partir de colectivos comunes.

Algo que me sorprendió cuando lo ví y me llenó de nostalgia fueron algunas fotografías de los protagonistas cuando estaban en los primeros años! Es muy difícil no seguir identificando a los actores con nuestros personajes favoritos.

También me resultó muy interesante el recorrido por Gringotts, y la explicación de cómo se realizaron algunas de las escenas, como aquella en que Harry va a buscar el Horrocrux en la cámara de los Lestrange.

En fin, la verdad que me sorprendió muchísimo este libro, nunca había prestado atención al gran grado de detalle en que se trabajó para crear un efecto tan realista, y que definitivamente en la pantalla se ve muy poco, pero la sensación que deja es verdaderamente mágica.

Short, simple, creative and satisfying.

Diagon Alley - A Movie Scrapbook is one of the better books of this kind that I have read so far. Although there was some unnecessary repetition of information from the film series, there were also some interesting facts and pieces of trivia that I was unaware of, which ultimately made this book worth reading.

Rating - 4/5
★★★★

El mundo de Harry Potter me fascina, y poder conocer curiosidades por parte del equipo es una maravilla.

Amo la saga de Harry Potter. Y las películas me flipan mucho también.
Si tuviera que elegir algo dentro de la Saga, sin duda sería el Callejón Diagon. Me enamoré al leerlo por primera vez cuando solo era una niña, y floté literalmente en la sala de cine cuando lo vi por primera vez en la pantalla, exactamente igual a como me lo había imaginado en mi cabeza.
Por eso he disfrutado tanto con este pequeño y precioso álbum... como pasear por el propio callejón... una maravilla!!!

Un libro que te cuenta curiosidades sobre el callejón diagon y como se pensó para hacerlo real en las películas. Muy curioso si eres un gran fan

‘Diagon Alley is a cobblestone shopping area for wizards and witches, and it was Harry Potter’s first introduction to the wizarding world. On this bustling street, seen throughout the Harry Potter films, the latest brooms are for sale, wizard authors give book signings and young Hogwarts students acquire their school supplies – cauldrons, quills, robes, wands and brooms.
This scrapbook takes readers on a tour of Diagon Alley, from Gringotts to Ollivanders, Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes and beyond. Detailed profiles of each shop that give readers an unprecedented inside look at the beloved wizarding location.
This book is amazing.
This fantastic book was over flowing with Harry Potter magic. Not only did it have wonderful information such as illustrations, behind the scenes photographs and insights from the actors and film-makers.
Not only is this book a wealth of awesome information but it is packed full of interesting features. With removable inserts such as stickers, wanted posters, maps and other Harry Potter collectables. I honestly didn’t expect this book to have so many wonderful pull outs and paper knick knacks.
I have found with scrapbooks like these that sometimes they lack any new information, but that isn’t the case with this book. I found out quite a few things that I didn’t already know and was blow away while reading some of the details about how the movies were made. Not only does this book have amazing features but it has truly interesting information.
One of the things I loved mot about this book was getting to revisit some iconic scenes from the movies, like Harry’s first visit to Ollivanders, or when Harry, Ron and Hermione escaped from Gringotts on the back of a dragon. Getting to relive these amazing moments and find out how they came to be made for a truly amazing reading experience.
Diagon Alley: A Movie Scrapbook by Jody Revenson is a must-have collectible for all Harry Potter fans.

This is a pretty short book that shows various pictures of Diagon Alley with details about the shops and plenty of pictures from the movies. There are several ephemera placed throughout the book, which would be the only reason I even consider buying the book, but it honestly doesn't add anything new (besides telling you how much detail went into, say, building the Weasley twins' shop, and then it was only shown on screen for 2 minutes). I'm not sure why they keep trying to milk Harry Potter so badly - I guess because they can. It is nice to pick up right before taking a trip to Potter World though! It brought back so many memories for me and showed me how detailed and true to life the theme park is!

Nice little book that will appeal to the Harry Potter fan. Overview of Diagon Alley and all it has to offer - both from a book and movie perspective. Obviously the photos are from the movie productions, but there is also conceptual art, etc. Several neat extras stuck in include a copy of the Daily Prophet, a Quidditch scorecard, a Knight Bus ticket, and more. Reading through this makes me want to go back to Diagon Alley at Universal Studios and reminds me how well they captured the look and feel of this fascinating fictional place.

[Rebecca Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was so much fun to read through. It gives you so much insight into how Diagon Alley was designed and created, which makes you appreciate it so much more. I learned some interesting stuff from this book, too! And of course the paper replicas they sprinkled in to give off the ‘scrapbook’ vibe really helped immerse you into the world again, even with such a short book. I love getting a peek behind the curtain when it comes to movie magic, but when it’s the Wizarding World, it’s even better.

This is very cool!! Definitely memorabilia all Harry Potter fans must have for their collection. A wondrous book that takes you through the Harry Potter movies and makes you want to rewatch them over and over (or pack up and move to the Harry Potter world and walk down Diagon Alley all day!!) Special thanks to Bloomsbury Publishers for sending me a copy of this book!! I will cherish it forever!!

[Ashley Beery · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is honestly the same as the other movie scrapbook, movie magic, etc etc style of Harry Potter movie books. It has the same information as previous ones, just maybe some different props. I wasn't impressed honestly. I wish it had new info, new details, in depth pictures etc.

[Jen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a fun nostalgic walk down memory lane. Enjoyable for fans, but doesn't really offer anything you can't find in other books about the movies.
Simple but creatively designed. Overall a satisfying flip through when wanting some warm memories.

[Emily Skeen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Beautifully designed with a great attention to detail. Written simply and categorised well, it makes for a great read for any Harry Potter fan no matter if they're young or older; a long time fan of 20+ years or someone just discovering the magic of the HP world.

[Phoebe Bonded By Books · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well suited to a young audience or a non reader who has less of an attention span for reading. There's many bonus items in the book to make it multi sensory and keep your attention. I would personally prefer having more information in a non fiction book

Lovely graphics and interesting inserts.

I really liked this book and how it told me about how Diagon Alley was set out in the movie.

Für jeden Harty Potter Fan ein muss. Dieses Buch über die Winkelgasse ist so schön gestalltet und erhält tolle Informationen, eifach zaubberhaft.

[Jessie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Es un libro cortito pero con algunos detalles desconocidos y pequeñas sorpresas en el interior, es parte de una colección, habrá que leerse los demás.
