Yes shock o choc is from the wizarding world (they actually made it look reasonably close to the original, with the exception of some small details and the foil on the real one). I will be making a more accurately finished one with foil using this one as a template. The park does have quite a few versions of the various props but most of them are terribly inaccurate (not surprisingly, as they're made to be sold more as products and not necessarily replicas). But some are pretty nice! The skiving snackbox is probably my favorite from the park though.


Here's a pic of the wizarding world frog box next to a couple I put together using the graphics I scanned from copies of the original prop artwork, with measurements extrapolated from samples found in the trading cards that contained pieces of the original prop. The wizarding world products often come "close enough", but I wish they would release a series of more accurate replicas for people who want the accuracy. Noble Collection has done a decent job with their replicas, but they haven't done any candy stuff

I picked up a number of "goodies" from Diagon Alley while I was there, i ate the contents and kept the boxes, would anyone be interested in me scanning them up?

I got:

Fudge Flies
Pepermint Toads
Fizzing Whizzbies
Exploding Bon Bons
Every Flavor Beans
Glacial Snowflakes

have you thought of selling the star foil? or more replicas of the boxes?

 

[Snowfire]

I sent the star foil to ecl, let me know if you need anymore buddy

Thanks! I still have enough for a few more, but I'll definitely let you know when I run out! Really appreciate the help with that.

I don't have much foil left, but you could try contacting Snowfire about that! I may make a few more boxes, but just haven't had the time to invest in building more props. But I hope to do so sooner than later!

Thanks for posting! this should help with replicating the harmonica. I've also be wanting to get a replica yo-yo. in the film it looks like its brown but here at least one side is red. I know the red and black yo-yo's were pretty common.

Here's a (not very good) screenshot:



Do you guys think this could be red and black but just look brown due to lighting?

 

[LorduDesign]

keelhauler It's red. You can see it in box from exhibition

 

[keelhauler]

@keelhauler It's red. You can see it in box from exhibition

yeah, i'm just wondering why it looks brown on film. probably just lighting.

 

[LorduDesign]

keelhauler Yes! It's lighting. For example - Dumbledore's Costume was in fact purple

 

[nurmengart]

Thanks for the compliments guys! Really appreciated.

If any advice can be given, that should be to never settle with the reference you have if you can find better to improve your replicas.

The most important part, but also very time consuming, in graphic design is researching and finding assets to work on you own version of the prop you want.

 

[LorduDesign]

@Monsters_05 Yes, it's true To begin my work on Prophets I've spent about 400 hours looking for references, fonts and illustrations used on original prop. Thank you for saying you use CorelDRAW If you didn't say that I would still use Adobe Photoshop for DPs It so much better working in vector than in raster.

LorduDesign Glad I could help!
