Amazon.com Review

For all those fans who simply can't get enough of Harry Potter and company, here is a happy solution. This full-color poster book features 15 small tear-out posters of the Muggle world's favorite wizard and his friends. Taken directly from the live-action film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (based, of course, on the book of the same title), each poster includes exciting scenes and characters from the movie, ready for display on the bedroom wall. Harry, Hermione, and Ron figure prominently, along with glimpses of Dumbledore and Hagrid. There's even a most-appealing shot of Harry, Ron, and Ron's rat, Scabbers, goofing around and gorging on Honeydukes candy. (Ages 7 to 12) --Emilie Coulter

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not much new!!!, August 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Movie Poster Book (Paperback)

What can I say? I'm a Potter fanatic, and I jumped to buy the Movie Poster book as soon as it came out. The posters are beautifully done and cover a wide range of scenes. There are headshots of Harry, Ron, and Hermione, a scene from Gringotts, and even Ron and Harry at Christmas.

If you have seen the first and second trailors for the film, then you won't being seeing many new things. That's why I only gave it 4 stars. Personally, I think that it is worth getting the Poster Book just to see the first picture released of Harry in his Quidditch uniform. I also enjoyed a shot of Dumbledore visiting Harry in the Hospital Wing.

The casting for the film was excellent, and the pictures in the book only support that fact. Each character matches the wonderful descriptions that JK Rowling provides in all four books.

As I said before, your not seeing much new, but the book is money well spent. This way you don't have to wait 2 hours to download the trailor or pay for a movie ticket just to see the trailor! It will be there in your library to view again and again.

The pictures in this 15 page book are great photos! They can tear out off the book to be hung up. They are glossy, and about 8.5 by 11 inches. The shots are off: Potrait of Harry, portrait of Ron, portrait of Hermione, Harry at Gringotts, Harry with Hagrid and Hedwig, Harry in the forbidon forest, Harry Ron and Hermione, Harry in Quidditch robes, Hogwarts Express, Ron and Harry with candy, Harry and Dumbledoor, and more! Great sneak peak at the movie!!![....]

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Posters!, February 20, 2002

This review is from: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Movie Poster Book (Paperback)

The "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" Movie Poster Book is an excellent addition to any Harry Potter fan's collection. The posters are high quality; slighltly glossy, nicely sized, and has a clean and crisp finish to the photos. Many of the posters are collages, which I really liked because they are done in such a nice way. My entire household (that would be three younger sisters and two parents) all love Harry Potter, so of course we all ran out to get our own copies! I suggest saving this booklet (or buying two, the price is great), because it will defintely become more valuable as the years go on since Harry Potter is destined to be popular years from now!
