[Shane · Rating 4 out of 5]

Number twelve in (for the most part) a very nice series of books on the Harry Potter films, this final volume focuses on some marginalia not covered in other books - celebrations, food and publications. Some of the previous books in the series that seemed to be more for completeness than necessity were among the weaker titles in the series, so I had low expectations. But this one ended up being a lot better than I was expecting, even in the top half of all twelve books in my opinion.

I enjoyed the discussions about production design around the food and fun, and the background information on The Daily Prophet and The Quibbler. Overall this book had a lot of details to better understand the films.

Highly recommended for fans of the Wizarding World.

May open your eyes as to just how much work the graphics department does for in-universe books and newspapers and such. Would not recommend for people who do not wish to read tiny text from those publications.

Good for die-hard fans

This is a nice book of photos taken while filming and concept art. Nothing new or exciting here. Really it was kind of a let down.

Spannend für Harry Potter Fans

Es war wieder super interessant Teil 12 der “Harry Potter Filmwelt – Alles über Feste, Speisen, Bücher und Zeitungen der Zauberwelt” zu lesen. Auf den knapp 60 Seiten bekommt man immer wieder neue Informationen und behind the scences Einblicke, die einem sonst nie aufgefallen wären.

Ich liebe auch die Gestaltung der einzelnen Seiten – so detailverliebt! Durch die vielen Bilder und wenigen Seiten lässt sich das Buch natürlich auch sehr fix lesen. Cool ist auch, dass man die 12 Bände ohne feste Reihenfolge lesen kann, da immer ein neues Thema behandelt wird, und die Buchrücken zum Schluss ein Bild ergeben!

Ich persönlich liebe es, immer noch mehr aus dem Harry Potter Universum zu erfahren und kann es kaum erwarten die anderen Bände auch noch zu lesen. Definitiv eine Empfehlung für die Harry Potter (Film-) Fans!
