Amazon UK revealed a new comprehensive book set for the Harry Potter film series called Harry Potter Limited Edition, containing numerous volumes detailing sections like the costuming, paintings, sets, and cast and crew from the series.

Included amongst the set will be a special edition cloth-covered copy of Harry Potter: Page to Screen, and a replica copy of The Monster Book of Monsters. All of this, according to Amazon, will be available starting December 4, 2012, and only 3000 sets will be sold worldwide - the site currently has the price listing at £552.00, which converts to well over $800 USD. More information on the product, via Hypable's tip, can be seen below.

Worthy of a vault at Gringotts, this amazing limited edition collection features never-before-published art and text chronicling the making of the Harry Potter films. The set is limited to just 3,000 copies worldwide.

Five volumes focus on the filmmaking, showing how the team designed locations, graphics, costumes, creatures, and special effects. Inside you’ll find a deluxe book of the paintings of Hogwarts along with a keepsake book chronicling the lasting relationships between cast and crew. The final volume is a cloth-bound edition of the New York Times Best-seller, Harry Potter: Page to Screen. Completing the library is a scale prop replica of The Monster Book of Monsters, along with a gilded, oversized portfolio with five frame-able prints of concept art. All of these precious objects are housed in a collectible box that looks like it came from Diagon Alley. Arriving at your doorstep with a numbered certificate of authenticity, this limited edition is the ultimate collectible for any wizard of Muggle.

WB seems to be milking Harry Potter fans for all they are worth with these ridiculously expensive sets.

800.00?! Are they mental?

Too much money for the "HP" package. I think that the whole thing is nice but I am sure that those of us who do not have the funds can wait another day.

It is a limited edition, and only 3,000 available, so it's targeted at a very small section of fans. It's when the mass market edition becomes available possibly at about £150. Then i might start thinking they are trying to bleed me dry.
