4,5 // Encore un très bel ouvrage.
Cependant j'aurai aimé avoir un peu plus de détails sur certaines créatures.

To me, this one looked the most interesting visually. Turns out Dobby was pretty close to looking more like Yoda. Also didn't realize he was made slightly more human-looking in Deathly Hallows. There's barely a difference. When the book talks about goblins, there might be an error in that it says Warwick Davis has a cameo as a goblin who loses five galleons in Order of the Phoenix. A quick search says Rusty Goffe played that role. It also refers to the choir director as if he's a character separate from Flitwick, which I guess he was initially.

A nicely produced book with pictures from the films, I felt like this one was a little light on content. I wanted more details on all of these topics, especially dark creatures. This book felt like they decided on the topics in the series, then went looking for content and in this case, came up a little short.

Recommended for people who want EVERYTHING Harry Potter, but otherwise probably a pass.

Muy bonito, con diseños de los personajes e ilustraciones y anécdotas de cómo los crearon. Lleno de curiosidades.

This was definitely the book I needed to read at 2:00 a.m. in the morning just to get myself to try to go to sleep

This volume was focusing on Goblins, House-Elves and Dark Creatures and it was really fascinating to read how they created them for the films.
