The Case of Beasts

 
This is one of the books I got for Christmas that I didn't ask for.
 
The book with a hat that was there

Author: Mark Salisbury (words) MinaLima (design)
 Series: Harry Potter (I guess)
Genre: Behind the scenes
Age: (Couldn't find this but if you can read this I say you could read it)
My Rating: 11/10 (Yep really that good)
Take a front-row seat and witness the filmmaking magic that brought J.K. Rowling’s script for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them to the screen.
Explore the realm of fantastical creatures that roam the wizarding world and discover the magical cast of characters in pursuit of them.
Officially licensed by Warner Bros. Consumer Products, and designed by MinaLima, designers of the graphic props for the Harry Potter films as well as Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Case of Beasts delivers an enchanting interactive experience by sharing filmmaking secrets, film photography and artwork, and behind-the-scenes stories from cast and crew. Full of removable, facsimile reproductions of props and paper ephemera from the movie, along with some very special effects, this collectible volume offers a unique look from the talented group who created this movie magic.

This book was amazing (just look at my rating) and before December 25th I didn't know that it existed.
If you want to have an idea of what this book is like close your eyes (after you finish reading this part) imagine a really heavy and big book that's half writing, half pictures, has the most amazing layout (MinaLima we should all bow down to you) and has pull-outs for nearly every section (I now have a Newt Scamander wanted poster in my room .)
Since this book is heavy and bulky it's not the best book to be carrying around but this is probably the only downside.
Have I mentioned that all the pull-outs are replicas of what they looked like in the film.
So basically what I want to say is THIS BOOK IS AMAZING.😃
 
???Have you got this book and if so what rating would you give it???
