Harry Potter: A Pop-Up Guide to Hogwarts, created by master paper engineer Matthew Reinhart, is an exhilarating, interactive guide to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Featuring spectacular pop-up re-creations of key locations, creatures, and characters––the entire book opens flat to form a huge pop-up map of the castle and its grounds—including the Quidditch pitch and the Forbidden Forest. Woven among the main structures, mini-pops bring to life iconic elements from the Harry Potter films––such as the Marauder’s Map and Flying Ford Anglia. With insightful behind-the-scenes text, gorgeous artwork, and meticulous construction, this showstopper book isn’t just a faithful re-creation of the iconic wizarding school—it’s a must-have collectible that raises the game for pop-up books everywhere.
Harry Potter: Creatures: A Paper Scene Book allows fans to revisit the magic through four intricate, multilayer dioramas that capture beloved moments from the films.
From Harry’s pulse-pounding battle with the Hungarian Horntail dragon to his encounter with Thestrals in the Forbidden Forest, each paper scene is laser die-cut for precision and gorgeously detailed. Every scene is followed by essential information about the creatures and behind-the-scenes facts from the films. Designed to thrill both seasoned Harry Potter fans and younger children, this volume is a treasured keepsake for the whole family.
Harry Potter: Imagining Hogwarts: A Beginner’s Guide to Moviemaking is the first in an innovative new series that teaches kids about bringing a world to life through the Harry Potter films.
This series guides readers through the complete filmmaking process, inspiring them to imagine themselves as the filmmakers. Each chapter in the book—whether it’s about directing, storyboarding, set design, or prop making—includes activities that foster understanding of the content and help prepare readers for the final challenge: the shoot. Kids will create a storyboard poster, dress a set piece, craft wands, and weather costumes––absorbing each concept as they piece their scene together. Clear step-by-step instructions keep things simple and comprehensive through the final chapter where it all comes together with lights, camera, action!
