Wow - another great book produced by warner brothers for us mad Harry Potter fans. Its amazing. It goes through all the creatures featured in the books and films describing them in detail and showing the amazing concept art and pictures from the films. There are details of how the creatures were 'built' or computer generated and has some in depth details that are not covered in the previous books created following the films - Film Wizardry or Page to screen ( I also own these books).There are some duplications but loads of new stuff too so dont hesitate to add this to your collection.
The book is fantatic quality - beautiful art work - loads of information- glossy pages - quality bound and an absolute must for all HP fans. In fact just get it!

Excellent compendium on the creatures and plants from the Harry Potter movies

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 October 2014

As a Harry Potter fan, I have quite a few companion books. The largest in my collection is Harry Potter Page to Screen: The Complete Filmmaking Journey . Right after I bought Page to Screen, I discovered there was a collector's edition that included several other books. I did not get the collector's edition since I already have the main book, but I've always longed to see those additional books.

Harry Potter: The Creature Vault is actually the expanded version of the The Creature Shop Compendium book that is part of Harry Potter Page to Screen Collector's Edition .

This new edition has a makeover and now sports a purple coloured embossed cover. The page count has increased to 208. It's a beautiful looking compendium.

This book looks at all the creatures and magical plants that have appeared in the movie series. It's packed with creature designs, concept art, film stills and photos from behind the scenes which shows how the crew build the animatronics, maquettes, sculptures and life-size models such as the Basilisk or the dragons.

Concept art for the creatures comes in the form of sketches, watercolours and digital paintings. Bulk of the book consists the artworks with accompanying text. A few pictures were reused from Page to Screen but not a big issue.

Below's the list of chapters that group the creatures according to their type:

1. Forest Dwellers - Centaur, Unicorn, Acromantula, Hippogriff, Thestral
2. Lake Dwellers - Merperson, Grindylow
3. Sky Dwellers - Dragon, Cornish Pixie
4. Trespassers - Troll, Giant, Gnome
5. Shape-Shifters - Animagus, Boggart, Werewolf
6. The Working World - Post Owl, House-Elf, Goblin, Fluffy
7. Dark Forces - Basilisk, Dementor, Inferius
8. Companions - Hedwig, Errol, Pigwidgeon, Scabbers, Crookshanks, Mrs. Norris, Fang, Trevor, Arnold, Fawkes, Nagini
9. The Greenhouse - Devil's Snare, Mandrake, Whomping Willow, Mimbulus Mimbletonia, Venomous Tentacula, Dirigible Plum

There's a huge bunch of creatures and plants featured. All are given ample coverage in terms of art and text. Author Jody Revenson has provided an insightful writeup that talks about their designs for the movies, the story component and interesting details such as the technical parts on how the creatures were created, be it in computer or real life. I believe it will be a satisfying read for any Harry Potter fan, especially those who craves for details.

The book description mentioned there's an Eeylops Owl Emporium. That's actually a small 8-page booklet sticked to the main pages showing photos of several owls. The other extra goodie is an A3 size one page bestiary poster with 16 selected creatures.

One last thing to note is there are two publishers for this book. It seems that publisher Harper Design is distributing for USA and Canada, and Titan Books are distributing for UK, Europe and other regions. So depending on where you are and from which publisher you buy from, the book's price might vary slightly. I find that Titan Books sell it cheaper, and for overseas buyers, it's more worth it to get the book from Book Depository.

I really enjoyed going through all the information and looking at the beautiful concept art. This is yet another excellent companion to the movies.

Highly recommended to all Harry Potter fans.

Good coffee table book

Love the outside design of the book for display, the pictures inside are great. Wish they would have spoken more about the origins of the magical creatures as well as how they were created by film. Also if you hate seeing “the sorcerers stone” instead of the “philosophers stone” this book might not be for you

I loved the presentation and the layout and the artwork was stunning. The collection of concept art, movie stills and progress pictures show a lot of dedication from Jody Revenson. And has the unexpected, welcome addition of magical plants in the last section 'The Greenhouse', who doesn't want to learn more about the Dirigible Plum?
It adds to the magic of the wizarding world that will never be forgotten and helps bring all the creatures to life just that little bit more and fuels the imagination no matter how old you are.

Another excellent book from the Harry Poter vault collection

Another excellent book from the Harry Poter vault collection. It arrived in perfect condition. Indispensable for the true fans of the Harry Potter movie saga and to know a little bit how the filmmakers were inspired to create the fabulous creatures that exist in that eternal magical world.
