A new “Harry Potter” collector’s book has been launched by Harper Collins Publishers. The book reveals how the producers of the movies created the magical locations from the books. Meanwhile, two former cast members are seen getting close.

The new book titled “Harry Potter: Magical Places from the Films” is by Jody Revenson, who has written two other books for the franchise. The new hardcover book by the author comes bound in a “debossed leatherette case” along with a removable poster and interactive booklet.

The announcement of the book release was made on the official Twitter account of the franchise that shares information about the movies. This message also announced that the book is now available for pre-order from the Harper Collins website.

Popular locations from the movies, such as the Hogwarts School, Diagon Alley, the Burrow and the Azkaban prison appear in the book. The book takes the readers through a step by step journey that shows the creative process involved in bringing these locations to life on screen and also includes the challenges the producers faced when they tried to build the sets for these locations.

The book includes “never-before-seen” concept arts and behind-the-scenes photographs of popular locations from all eight movies from the franchise. The author has added “detailed profiles” of each location and other “supplementary information” that are said to reveal “filmmaking secrets” from Warner Bros. studios.

Some of the locations in the UK described in the book are from the countryside of England, Wales and Scotland. These locations are later said to have become the set for Hagrid’s hut, Shell Cottage, the Hogwarts bridge and other locations. Harper Collins has also released a video that gives the fans a glimpse of the contents of the book.

Meanwhile, actors Robbie Jarvis and Evanna Lynch appear to be getting very close to each other. The two actors played the roles of young James Potter and Luna Lovegood in the “Harry Potter” movies. The actress posted this image of her kissing him. She called him the “sweetest boy,” in the post, and also said that they were off to see a show together. It was apparently the actor’s 29th birthday.
