SpeRevelio! Amazon Publishing today announced its plans to publish Insight Editions’ “Harry Potter: Page to Screen: The Complete Filmmaking Journey,” an exclusive, expanded, and collectible limited edition book set to release on December 4, 2012. This momentous publication is an exclusive, expanded, and collectible limited edition version of Insight Editions’ New York Times Bestseller, “Harry Potter: Page to Screen.” With seven additional volumes and nearly one thousand additional pages, this limited edition set spectacularly reproduces never-before-seen artwork and chronicles the filmmaking process to a degree of detail never seen before.
Each of the eight volumes in the set are designed to resemble books from the library shelves at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, made with materials and techniques that recall artisan bookmaking of yore. Six of the volumes are dedicated to the workings of several of the creative production departments that made the Harry Potter films so memorable—creature effects, costumes, graphics, production design, props, and special effects—while the seventh additional book, a commemorative keepsake, looks back on the relationships that developed between cast and crew during the ten-plus years it took to complete the historic film series.
Completing this Harry Potter library set is a scale replica of the The Monster Book of Monsters, sculpted and flocked to resemble the film prop in every detail. A gilded, oversized portfolio includes five frame-able prints of pivotal pieces of concept art created by the film series’ most prolific artists.
