The Harry Potter Wizarding Almanac: The Official Magical Companion to J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter Books

Product Information

Věřím, že jste tuhle nádhernou encyklopedii zaznamenali a doufám, že pokud ji ještě nemáte doma, najdete ji pod stromečkem. We all get a little lost sometimes, and in the wizarding world, even more so than usual. Thankfully, the Almanac is here to help, and takes us on a few ‘unguided tours’ of key locations across the stories. Above, the Almanac artist Peter Goes has – rather brilliantly – made sense of the chaos that is Hogwarts castle, detailing its many floors and secret passages in this pièce de résistance.

With 34 languages confirmed, The Harry Potter Wizarding Almanac publication will be supported by a global campaign. This will include advertising, a social campaign, creative and interactive point of sale for bookshops and libraries, and events on Harry Potter Book Day, which is set to take place on Thursday 12th October. Co mě šíleně baví, tak jsou rozkládací strany, díky kterým dostanete úplná panoramata Bradavic a okolí nebo třeba Zapovězeného lesa. We’ve absolutely loved exploring these spellbinding spreads of The Harry Potter Wizarding Almanac. And now – it’s your turn!

However, what we have already seen from this book through the promotional pictures and videos does not seem to indicate the same search for completeness that we have seen in previous fanmade encyclopedias: while we feel that there is a lot of attention to detail and that the creative team behind the almanac decided to use sources that are considered highly canonical (such as the original books or Pottermore, but not the movies), it seems that they did not decide to be exhaustive and include every detail from the wizarding world. Dambldorove armije preko detalja časova Odbrane od mračnih veština pa sve do Majstora mangupluka ; Od Mračne magije , Patronusa i Ministarstva magije pa do Gringotsa, Askabana i samog reda Feniksa , Dž .K. Rouling nije izostavila ni jedan detalj svega onoga što bi vam palo na pamet vezano za Hari Poter svet. And to think, this is just a small preview of what is to come. We hope you are as excited about this treasure trove of wizarding delights as we are.

Harry Potter fans have been waiting for years for an encyclopedia of the Wizarding World written by J.K. Rowling. The author herself talked about the project several times, even naming it “The Scottish Book” so as to not jinx the project (a reference to how people would refer to Macbeth as The Scottish Play). In an interview on the Pottercast podcast in 2007, Rowling confirmed that if published, it would include methods of how to create a Horcrux, the way Peter Pettigrew gave Voldemort a body, and the reason for the murder of Florean Fortescue.

Born in the Forest of Dean, he now lives in northern New South Wales, Australia. Levi Pinfold Some of the outfits were very easy to draw because the descriptions are quite detailed and evocative, such as Professor Trelawney’s or Umbridge’s. Others in my mind had been influenced by the films, so I had to really remember how I used to imagine them before the films were made, such as Hermione’s dress at the Yule Ball. At first, I set myself the challenge to make this entire spread using just three colours, but it soon became apparent I had to be more truthful to certain items of clothing, such as Ron’s maroon jumper. I loved drawing Dobby’s section on this. It was all a lot of fun to draw, actually!How did you become an illustrator?

When the first book came out, I was 11 and Harry was 11, so we grew up together, really. It was a big part of my formative years.
