Description

A comprehensive, full-color compendium of the key characters in all eight of the Harry Potter films, filled with never-before-seen photographs and illustrations, covering the costumes, makeup, weaponry, and in the back of-the-scenes story that brought each and every personality memorably to life on the big screen.

Harry Potter: The Character Vault offers fans a deeper take a look at the creative development of the characters introduced in the books and brought to life in the theatrical series. Jody Revenson brings you closer to Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the students and faculty at Hogwarts, the bureaucrats at the Ministry of Magic, the Triwizard Tournament competitors, the wizarding world families, and the dark forces against them.

Each profile in the book includes design sketches and unit photography showcasing the costumes of each and every character, at the side of an image of his or her wand, and other iconic props specific to the characters—brooms, Harry’s invisibility cloak, Mad-Eye Moody’s eye and prosthetic leg, and more. Discover how Quidditch gear and Hogwarts’ robes subtly changed as the characters grew up, discover the fashion and artistry in the back of the Weasley style, the Yule Ball dresses and robes, Slug Club party wear, and Death Eater masks and costumes.

Interweaving interviews with the special effects experts, costume designers, makeup artists and the cast, Jody Revenson shows fans how the magic happens, revealing the unique filming techniques used to change particular characters’ sizes, such as a giant Hagrid and Madame Maxime, in addition to special makeup processes that created the look of Harry’s Stinging Hex and Peter Pettigrew’s rat-like visage. Featured all over are intriguing profiles of the special makeup effects artists who share the most memorable effects they’ve used to develop into bizarre actors into their ordinary fictional counterparts.

Harry Potter: The Character Vault is your exclusive all-get right of entry to pass into the creative process of the largest film franchise of all time, and comes complete with two exclusive removable features.
