Done / Completed Harry Potter - Advanced Potion Making

I should have mentioned before everyone bites my head off lol!!! The book is going to be hand written and scanned in so alignment text size ink splodges, all that will look different. I just meant to ask do you like the style of that font, as that is how the hand writing is going to look. Hope that makes sense?

That sounds great!

Yup looks great! Can't wait.
 
I'll chime in. I'm a big fan of as close to screen-accurate as possible (helps with the illusion). If it's semi-close to the way it looked in the film, I'd be pleased as punch. It's difficult for me to tell with a typeface versus a hand-written version of the typeface. May look perfect or it may not.

Here are some of the screencaps. If it looks close to the writing in this style, I'm great. I'm already committed, so if it goes a different way, I still want one regardless :)

Hi all,

Just a quick update to keep you in the loop as to where I am at. (I will get some pics up very soon I promise, just want you to have these sooner than later).

305 pages in total, all with different content, formatting, size, fonts, proof reading etc - all complete.
Test book print size in canvas with aged effect and silver foiling - all complete.
All pages have been aged successfully - all complete.
I am 3/4 of the way through writing all the hand written notes, then I need to add ink splodges and rough up a few parts. - ETA 2 weeks to completion.
Next phase, send to printers and receive proof copy back. If all fine, then it's a case of going ahead and getting the run ordered.
Final phase is to attach and bind the book before shipping goes out.

I am still confident these will be out to you first week of July.

Any questions please fire away.
 
Looks great =)

Will you be collecting payment from those on the interest list before placing the run order so you know how many to order correct?

He has already started accepting payments on these. I pm'd him to arrange mine as some other members have as well. [emoji106]
 
Hi all,

Just a further little update for you. I'm almost finished with the hand written notes, got a few more pages left to do, then it's just a case of adding a little extra touches and I will be sending off to the printers to get the test copy back. Again thanks for the support and patience on this. Here's another little screen shot for you, but I don't want to put loads up and give too much away, as hoping you will all find it amazing to receive.

Hello once again everyone, just to let you know we are literally at the final stages of completion now. I've got to add a few final touches and then we are off to the printers. I'm away from 27th June until the 6th July as I need a week in the sunshine after this haha, but the print will be sent off before I go and ready for my return. Upon my return I will start putting all the books together and then will be sending out. I'm sticking a date of 31St July, but it could well be before that. If you have any questions please ask away or send a message to me. I'm really thrilled with how this has turnt out and I really hope you all enjoy it. Here's a final couple of pictures for you.

Are you ready for the news you have all been waiting for!!! The book is finished and it's going off for a test print tomorrow :)

I am then away for a bit enjoying some sunshine, but hopefully upon my return I will have my test copy back (back on 6th July, book should arrive that week). I will then need a couple of days just to 100% check it all through and will give you a few pics to make sure you are all happy. After that we get the run of the books done and they will be ready for shipping.

As long as no supplier hiccups, we should be looking to ship last week of July with 31st July being the latest.

Now for the added bonus... I have managed to crack the CLOTH cover with silver foil. It is absolutely spot on and looks just like the original and will feel just like it too.

Again, many thanks for the patience on this and I look forward to those of you who have purchased one to receiving it.
