I bought as gift… it was perfect ????
by Marco Cerri
I kindly asked to the customer service to pack properly this order and it’s arrived in a very good condition!
The book is very accurate and as I’ve had the possibility to see before buying in a bookshop it was the same. I’m surprised about the very cheap price… At the bookshop it was worth 30£ and here on Amazon I paid just 15£! Great Amazon! I’ll buy also the other two new books!

This book is a marvel. Honestly, I expected some level of artistic design but with a lot of world reference books i mostly anticipated a decent amount of dry, descriptive texts. Frankly, this book is a work of art. The volume of illustrative pictures, images, artwork is truly next level, and so much more comprehensive than i expected.
The artists have done an amazing job bringing varied and colourful depictions of the JK Rowling’s work to life. The writing and editing team that pulled this book together should also be lauded on high from creating this. I’m sure JK Rowling is eternally grateful for the efforts of these individuals, and how they’ve richly added to her creation.
If you have even a passing interesting in Harry Potter I can’t recommend this book enough.

I love this book. I got it on a deal and then with a promotion so it was very cheap. The illustrations are so lovely and the little snippets of information are woven in. As a Potter fan this is like walking through familiar memories so I would 100% recommend it; it would make a fab present. As soon as I opened the box I started reading and am loathed to put it down. It has character information, timeliness, quotes, animals, subjects, everything really – as the title suggests. The pages are matt which is quite nice as you don’t get the glare from the light and it feels a little bit different to other illustrated books.

Absolutely fabulous wee book. It is jammed packed with very accurate information and lots upon lots of wonderful illustrations. A beautiful add to my ever growing Harry Potter library. Definitely will make a true fan, like me, extremely happy and make far a fantastic gift for other HP fans all over. A bargain at £15 and not a regretful buy at all.
