Ach, ich liebs…

Immer wieder schön, neue Dinge rund um die Harry Potter Filme zu erfahren!

Auch Band 6 der Harry Potter Filmwelt Reihe ist wieder sehr schön gestaltet und lässt sich fix lesen.

Kann es nur wiederholen: es lohnt sich, diese Bücher zu lesen!

A nice full-color summary of Hogwarts Castle as seen in the film series. There could have been more plans, more details on changes over the movie series, more details about thought process. But still, this is, for what it is (a short, slickly-produced, picturebook) a nice addition to any Harry Potter Library.

Highly recommended for fans of the Wizarding World looking for lovely pics and a little light reading.
There are flaws, but I gave it 5 stars anyway, because if one were to buy just a couple of the books in this twelve book series I'd recommend this being one of them.

Este libro explora cómo se diseñaron y construyeron visualmente los distintos espacios icónicos de Hogwarts en las películas. No es una novela ni un libro de historia del mundo mágico, sino una colección de arte conceptual, diseños de producción, bocetos y comentarios técnicos sobre la arquitectura, los sets y su evolución.
Me encantan estos libros cortos que tienen tanto contenido de las películas con las cuales crecí. escenarios como el dormitorio de Harry o el rgan comedor entre otros lugares.
Ideal para fans curiosos que aman ver la magia detrás de la magia.

I'm not going to lie but this was probably the worst book thus far that I had to read. I literally have to force myself to read this and I don't even know why because I love Harry Potter and everything about Harry Potter but this one sucked. For some reason I just really didn't give a f*** about how the hall was ground and how they decide to portray Hogwarts as a school at all. So it was. It was interesting forcing myself to finish this book.

These books were neat as a look behind the scenes— it’s really crazy how creative movie makers are— but on the whole, they ended rather abruptly to ensure each one was the exact same amount of pages. I could’ve done with a bit more explanation.

Toujours un plaisir de retrouver le lieu mythique de Poudlard et découvrir ses petits secrets. Mais également de découvrir l'ampleur des travaux pour le tournage.

Very good but too short.

[Steven Shinder · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one focused more on the rooms in the castle. Very thorough.

¿Alguna vez se preguntaron cómo se creó el castillo y todo el terreno alrededor de él en HP? Aquí tenemos bastante información sobre el diseño, armado, incluso sobre todos los detalles que podemos ver a lo largo de las películas, como: libros, cuadros, telas de cortinas, etc.

Cada vez que leo estos libros siento una admiración irrefrenable hacia las personas que trabajaron a lo largo de este proyecto, y recién ahí caigo en cuenta de la enormidad que supuso. Esfuerzo y creatividad a roletes tuvieron y dudo mucho que a futuro otra saga logre cautivar como esta lo hizo.

This one was my favourite of them all because it was about the Hogwarts Castle. I loved every picture and every detail of it that they mentioned.
