Description
The media phenomenon that is Harry Potter—from the 1997 U.K. publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone to the upcoming theatrical release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix—is expertly chronicled in this extraordinary look at how the magical world has unfolded in the past 10 years. Arranged chronologically and broken down by month and year, this collection of major media pieces includes news about the writing and publishing of the books (such as J. K. Rowling’s revelation in January 2002 that she knows how the series is going to end), the Pottermania that surrounds each release, the incredible media coverage, and the development of the movies. Interviews with the films’ cast and crew, including actors Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and directors Chris Columbus and Alfonso Cuaron, are also included.
