Make some room on your bookshelf, Potterheads. There are three new Harry Potter releases heading your way this Fall, and they're enough to make us want to Apparate to Hogwarts ASAP. Insight Editions, which specializes in illustrated books and collectibles, has added three new titles available in October: Harry Potter: A Pop-Up Guide to Hogwarts, Harry Potter: Creatures: A Paper Scene Book, and Harry Potter: Imagining Hogwarts: A Beginner's Guide to Moviemaking.
The pop-up book gives readers a truly realistic look at Hogwarts in a fun-to-read format, while the creatures-focused book draws you into the world of centaurs and beyond. Finally, the movie-making guide is a practical guide inspired by the HP films.
These are exactly what we need to get into a Harry Potter state of mind this Halloween, especially given the release of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald in November. Take a look at each book ahead along with its official description, and we won't blame you if you decide to preorder all three.
Harry Potter: A Pop-Up Guide to Hogwarts
Harry Potter: A Pop-Up Guide to Hogwarts ($45): "Created by master paper engineer Matthew Reinhart, [this book] is an exhilarating, interactive guide to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Featuring spectacular pop-up re-creations of key locations, creatures, and characters — the entire book opens flat to form a huge pop-up map of the castle and its grounds — including the Quidditch pitch and the Forbidden Forest. Woven among the main structures, mini-pops bring to life iconic elements from the Harry Potter films, such as the Marauder's Map and Flying Ford Anglia."
Harry Potter: Creatures: A Paper Scene Book
Harry Potter: Creatures: A Paper Scene Book ($30): "Allows fans to revisit the magic through four intricate, multilayer dioramas that capture beloved moments from the films. From Harry's pulse-pounding battle with the Hungarian Horntail dragon to his encounter with Thestrals in the Forbidden Forest, each paper scene is laser die-cut for precision and gorgeously detailed. Every scene is followed by essential information about the creatures and behind-the-scenes facts from the films."
Find fun facts and tidbits about creatures lurking in the Harry Potter universe.
Harry Potter: Imagining Hogwarts: A Beginner's Guide to Moviemaking
Harry Potter: Imagining Hogwarts: A Beginner's Guide to Moviemaking ($20): "The first in an innovative new series that teaches kids about bringing a world to life through the Harry Potter films. This series guides readers through the complete filmmaking process, inspiring them to imagine themselves as the filmmakers. Each chapter in the book — whether it's about directing, storyboarding, set design, or prop making — includes activities that foster understanding of the content and help prepare readers for the final challenge: the shoot. Kids will create a storyboard poster, dress a set piece, craft wands, and weather costumes, absorbing each concept as they piece their scene together."
