Pretty dam good Prophets being produced there, gonna keep any eye out for copys availible. not so long ago i saw someone selling an original daily prophet from harry potter the starting price was £1000. it was the style with the P done in gold leaf.
 
Bump !
Lets hope these will be affordable...hope so...
And Kevin , can you please tell more or less the kind of Diaries you have? I mean...just covers , inside pages ...?
 
I've just finished the back cover of the Daily Prophet from the first film.
I shall now finish off the inside pages. :)

As shown earlier in this thread, I have the Daily Prophet from Philosopher's Stone (now almost completed). This is a front and back cover and the print to go on the reverse of those pages (i.e. four pages in total). This is as the original prop.

I also have the Daily Prophets from Prisoner of Azkaban, being "Escape from Azkaban" and "Sirius Sighted". These are covers only. I also have the top 2/3 of the Weasley's in Egypt paper. I am undecided whether to just tear the bottom edge of this one to simulate one which has been kept as a souvenir by Ron, or to make up the rest of the text to fit around the large ornate capital letter and distinctive sub-heading that is visible on the bottom of the page.

I am about half way through the cover of the paper from Chamber of Secrets, too.
 
Cool!
And... these will be printed on newspaper paper? that would be really nice!!!
Thanks for updating!
 
Awesome work, very detailed, i hope technology someday takes us to a point where the paper images move like in the films.
 
bumping again...
also would anyone be willing to give me the logo from the daily prophets from the "return of you know who" paper?
 
I am long overdues to give an update on progress!

Here is where I am at (in movie order).

The eagle-eyed amongst you might notice that every page has been slightly enhanced and improved since my last post. The back of the Philosopher's Stone Prophet is now complete. The clues to the crossword were made easier because there are only a few of them and they are repeated. The rest of the copy on the inside I shall have to invent. I simply don't have enough good reference, but I'm confident that the rest of it is accurate (including all the original spelling mistakes and badly patched blocks of copy).

For various reasons I ended up with a few hours free today.

All text accurate including the pervasive typo "aswell". Most squiggles are finished too. :)
 
When I finish the inside of the first Prophet, I'll start a thread in the junkyard along with threads for my wizard candy, Monster Book of Monsters pages, Gringotts deposit slips, werewolf pages, etc.
 
These are amazing! We are giving our son a Harry Potter birthday party in May. Any chance these will be available for purchase before then?
