Harry Potter: The Creature Vault

Harry Potter: The Creature Vault: The Creatures and Plants of the Harry Potter Films by Jody Revenson, 206 pages

This coffee-table book provides insight into the creation of the many cool and creepy creatures featured in the Harry Potter films. Filled with behind-the-scenes photos and concept art, the book offers up all kinds of cool trivia and plenty of chances to marvel at movie-making magic. I was amazed to find out which things were created as full-size models (the basilisk, the Whomping Willow) and what was a digital rendering (Harry and Hermoine in the scenes with the Whomping Willow). I also really liked learning about the old-school special effects that were used as well. Great book for fans of the movies.
