Harry Potter: The Blueprints

Product Information

That’s where even photo reference starts to dry up, at least for this original version of the castle. I shifted my way attention to the adjacent walls that correspond to the cathedral’s nave and north aisle, otherwise known at Hogwarts as the Long Gallery. Spanning 287 extra-large pages — at 10” x 13”, it’s larger than many laptops — this book features over 350 technical drawings from the sets of the Harry Potter movies, including the iconic locations and even some intricately-designed props. For the first time ever, blueprints of the scenes and settings from all eight Harry Potter films have been collected into a stunning volume.

The book is divided into three enormous chapters: one focusing on Hogwarts Castle, one on the Hogwarts grounds, and the other on Hogsmeade. I studied architecture, focusing on castles, fortresses, palaces, manor houses… anything that would be useful to me as I constructed Hogwarts. Fortunately, not much changed, and the changes that did occur will be easy enough to replicate with help from photogrammetry measurements.

Also, "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: The Journey Behind the Scenes of the Award-Winning Stage Production. Why Dumbledore was wandering around one night looking for a toilet (and finding the Room of Requirement) I really can’t say. Pelo preço, acho que a capa poderia ter sido feita em alto relevo, onde diz Harry Potter e no castelo. I collected as much information about the castle as I could, following this procedure as precisely as possible.

In this particular case, my approach will be to ignore this quick shot altogether and aim instead for the real location with the added statues and other set dressings. But you don’t need to be an architecture nerd to appreciate this stunning collection of sketches and blueprints. I stumbled upon some blueprints online and thought, Wow, I could actually do a 3D model investigating the changes!For the record, the boathouse steps themselves are actually a great design, beautifully executed in all three incarnations. There’s also plenty of in-depth commentary from the production team, including production designer Stuart Craig and set decorator Stephenie McMillan, and it’s a fascinating read.

muito detalhado, mostra os desenhos técnicos das diversas localizações dos filmes e também objetos importantes que foram aparecendo. I’d been worried about how to tackle the surrounding landscape if my computer couldn’t handle that many blades of grass, but this has me more optimistic.There are more pages devoted to the underwater architecture from Goblet of fire, that the towers of Hogwarts. That said, besides the incredible art and the crew commentary, Harry Potter: The Blueprints is a model-maker’s dream. Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages.

The blueprints often display notes on planned camera movements and special effects that will interact with the set, such as the moving snakes on the door to the Chamber of Secrets or the golden owl that preens itself on Dumbledore’s lectern via CGI.Note the lack of even the small HBP training grounds tower, the dotted outline of the old DADA tower to be removed, and the more detailed plan of the new astronomy tower. Did you know they often had to build doors into open archways at the castles and abbeys where they filmed many of the classroom scenes? Hogsmeade station and Hogsmeade are right outside of the school grounds around a path through the entrance gates, including the Shrieking Shack even though the building is built and owned by the school. Recent books include "Harry Potter Crafting Wizardry" and "Harry Potter Magical Creatures A Movie Scrapbook.
