From the first time you get your hands on The Art of Harry Potter, you know that you’re in for a treat.

The Art of Harry Potter is the latest companion book from HarperCollins and may be the best one yet. This book is unique — it’s dedicated to the artwork that laid the groundwork for the Harry Potter film series. There are no film stills, there are no character bios, there’s no fluff besides each chapter’s introduction. This is just the art accompanied by brief descriptions.

The book’s title fills the front of the tome. Underneath lies a gorgeous piece of art depicting the Hogwarts Express heading to Hogwarts (a piece of work, by the way, that can be purchased at Universal theme parks).

When you pick it up, you realize you’ve spent your money wisely. The Art of Harry Potter is large and heavy thanks to its 340 pages of artwork created by Harry Potter’s filmmakers.

Some of the art has already been seen in other companion books, but a lot of what’s found within The Art of Harry Potter has never been published before. There are even pieces of art that were created for scenes that ended up being scrapped, like three pieces depicting Dumbledore’s funeral, and two pieces in which Voldemort (in his malformed state) is milking Nagini.

The book also provides expanded views of the Wizarding World. On page 71 we see the Triwizard Tournament’s third task maze as Hogwarts sits beyond a hill. Other pieces of art depict more breathtaking views of Hogwarts: The school at sunset, Harry observing his place of education from afar, and some stellar sketches of the castle.

And then there are interpretations of scenes we know and love. There’s a piece depicting Harry fighting off the Inferi as Dumbledore suffers greatly in the cave; Christmas at Grimmauld Place; Voldemort and the Death Eaters at Malfoy Manor; Harry within Dumbledore’s office; and so many more.

The book is nicely organized and covers every aspect of the Wizarding World — The art is divided by chapters including “Wizards, Witches, and Muggles,” “Magical Creatures,” “Artifacts,” and the graphic art by MinaLima.

There are so many Harry Potter film companion books out there, but this is the only one I want on my coffee table. On its face, the book is clean, inviting, and professional. No matter your age, you can proudly display it in your home. Open it up, and it begs to be paged through repeatedly — There are so many details in each piece of art that you’ll notice new things every time you browse.

The Art of Harry Potter is an excellent gift for the fan in your life because it’s something different and feels special. This is unlike the companion books before it. I hate to call it for “adults,” but it feels that way to me — It’s a natural addition to a “grown up” home. I don’t need another book with cast interviews, character bios, etc etc. I do need a book that collects all the reasons why we love this movie series.

The Art of Harry Potter will be released on November 21, 2017.
