Today, Entertainment Weekly have released a trailer for Harry Potter Page to Screen: The Complete Filmmaking Journey, available on Amazon on December 4th with a pricetag of $600 (retail $1000.) This special eight book set will be limited to 3000 copies worldwide with seven of the books being created specifically for the set. The trailer illustrates why the set is worth so much and may be watched below (thanks to SnitchSeeker for the embeddable version):
Seven of the volumes were created expressly for this collection and delve into different aspects of the filmmaking, showing how the team designed locations, graphics, costumes, creatures, and special effects. A book of the paintings of Hogwarts showcases the exquisite artistry of each. A keepsake book filled with snapshots and personal photos looks at the lasting relationships between cast and crew. The eighth volume is a cloth-bound edition of the New York Times Best-seller, Harry Potter: Page to Screen.
