¡SABEDLO TODO DE LOS HECHIZOS Y ENCANTAMIENTOS DE LAS PELÍCULAS DE HARRY POTTER!
Desde Expelliarmus hasta el Encantamiento Patronus —e incluso las tres Maldiciones Imperdonables—, los hechizos y encantamientos de las películas de Harry Potter se detallan en esta fascinante guía entre bastidores. Los perfiles de cada hechizo incluyen preciosas ilustraciones conceptuales, fotografías de plató, y reflexiones de los actores y el equipo técnico y artístico sobre cómo plasmar la magia en la gran pantalla. Este volumen de coleccionista también contiene artefactos extraibles, incluyendo pósteres, pegatinas, y mucho más.
This was a short, but beautifully presented book, and I received this as a gift quite recently. I found this to be interesting, and a change from the norm. It contains all of the spells and charms used by the characters in the Harry Potter films, with many lovely photographs to support these. There isn't too much writing in here, but just enough to know which part of the films is being discussed.
This is a great little scrapbook filled with some awesome extra treasures like the patronus cards. The lift the flap pages are super cute and I love the stickers at the back. Its the perfect addition to any Harry Potter collection.
Thank you so much to Bloomsbury Australia for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
This stunning book is such a beautiful addition to my shelf! With raised gold lettering on the hardcover and a whole bunch of little surprises inside, Spells & Charms was much more than I was expecting.
I loved the lift the flaps, mini insert books, stickers and especially the patronus cards - they were stunning and I'll be using them in bookstagram photos for years!
As well as information about the different spells and where they were used in each movie, there were so many snippets of information on how they were made to work, whether by digital manipulation or general stunt work. It really made me appreciate just how much work went into each part of the movies (four hours every day to transform an actor into a goblin!).
I'd highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to add something special to their Harry Potter collection!
Spells and Charms was a short and easy read, that was enjoyable enough for what it was. It did not provide a huge amount of new information, but it would probably still be an interesting read for fans of the film series.
Rating - 3/5 ★★★

Book: Harry Potter: Spells and Charms Author: Jody Revenson Rating: 4 Out of 5 Stars
This is a delightful, yet familiar addition to the expansive world of J.K. Rowling's beloved wizarding universe. This book serves as a comprehensive guide to the various spells and charms featured throughout the Harry Potter series, offering detailed descriptions, explanations of their uses, and tidbits about the magical world that fans will undoubtedly appreciate. At its core, the book doesn't offer anything particularly new to those already well-versed in the Harry Potter lore. The spells and charms included have all appeared in the novels or films, and Revenson does not dive into any groundbreaking insights or previously unexplored areas of magic. Readers won’t find any shocking revelations or surprises here; rather, the book functions more as a handy reference guide, making it a useful resource for both newcomers and long-time fans who want a refresher on the magical incantations. The layout of the book is clean and accessible, organized alphabetically by spell type. Each entry is accompanied by brief descriptions of the spell’s effects, its origins, and notable characters who have used it. The design also features colorful illustrations and additional graphics that give a whimsical, immersive touch, reminiscent of the books' and films' aesthetic. While the content is basic for anyone who's read or watched the Harry Potter series extensively, it's still charming and visually appealing. For die-hard fans, this book is a pleasant way to revisit the magic of the wizarding world, even if there are no shocking revelations to be found. It's the type of book that offers joy in its simplicity, and will likely be a lovely addition to any fan’s collection. Whether it sits on a coffee table or sits next to the other Hogwarts-related volumes on your bookshelf, it provides just enough of the enchanting touch that makes the wizarding world so enduring. In short, while the book doesn't break new ground or offer any fresh perspectives, it is still a fun and nostalgic experience for anyone who holds the Harry Potter series close to their heart. If you’re looking to revisit your favorite spells, or if you simply enjoy adding new trinkets to your Harry Potter library, this will make a delightful (if not entirely groundbreaking) addition.
A small, short book with consice information of the spells and hexes with their respective incantations used in the wizarding world of Harry Potter. The author have not included all the spells and chosen to write about major, useful and frequently used ones only, which make this more of a light read than a true catalog of spells and charms.
This book was good but I would have liked more facts as sometimes I thought the sections were a bit too short. However I do think this would be great for a younger fan who is interested in learning how the movies were made as the layout of this book is very well suited to someone with a shorter attention span.
An adorable and creative scrapbook! There’s some small posters, stickers, patronus cards and more! A fun little read for Harry Potter fans - perhaps even useful to study before the HP quiz night!
I love everything that has to do with my favourite world ever and this book was no exception. The only reason why I am giving it 3 stars is because it did not bring any new information to me, but I still adored to go back into the Harry Potter magic.
Why did we have to do the first movie Flitwick for the cover? Just, no. As for the book, they left out some spells I felt and just did a quick little blurb on the ones they felt were important. Nothing really new.
Must read book to get to know your spells in charms better featured in the 7 book series of Harry Potter along with behind the scenes notes from the movie adaptations.
