What do you get for that huge chunk of change? Seven never-before-published books chronicling the creation of the eight Harry Potter films, a limited edition version of an eighth book, all bound in a gorgeous package. Only 3000 will ever be made so check out some images and a trailer after the jump.
Thanks to Entertainment Weekly for the heads up on this gorgeous, but slightly overpriced set. Here’s a little video tease.
Finally here’s their description the series including a full rundown of the books.
Seven of the volumes were created expressly for this collection and delve into different aspects of the filmmaking, showing how the team designed locations, graphics, costumes, creatures, and special effects. A book of the paintings of Hogwarts showcases the exquisite artistry of each. A keepsake book filled with snapshots and personal photos looks at the lasting relationships between cast and crew. The eighth volume is a cloth-bound edition of the New York Times Best-seller, Harry Potter: Page to Screen. All of these precious objects are housed in a collectible box that looks like it came from Diagon Alley. Arriving at your doorstep with a numbered certificate of authenticity, this limited edition is the ultimate collectible for any wizard or Muggle.
Worthy of a vault at Gringotts, this amazing limited edition collection includes eight exquisitely crafted volumes shelved with a scale prop replica of The Monster Book of Monsters and a gilded, oversized portfolio with five frame-able prints of concept art. Featuring never-before-published art and text chronicling the making of the Harry Potter films, the set is limited to just 3,000 copies worldwide.
This collector’s edition includes:
A gorgeous set to be sure, but will you purchase it? Shouldn’t it come with Blu-rays of the movies at least?
