does anyone know where i can find photos from the malfoys as seen in the Daily Prophet? :confused

The original prop used these photos:


You can see it here clearly:


That is a very common misconception about Potter props. Props do not use the same photos as you can see in the film as those particular ones were filmed specifically for the film, while they did not have them filmed during the pre-production, therefore they had to use promo photos, concepts etc. What you call a hero prop - a prop that would be used for close-ups etc. - would normally have greenscreen or bluescreen attached to it, for the possibility of placing moving images there later. So I think the more relevant question would be what was actually used there on non-hero/background versions without VFX appliances. Some examples of props that used greenscreen/bluescreen (therefore hero props) below.


I'd like to point out this particular photo:


As you can see both the Dumbledore's book and the page below it would be using the exact same footage of Dumbledore ('To be shot Int. Dumbledore's Office 17th March 2010') (and actually the Daily Prophet cover showed in the GIF would be using the same footage as well).

Question. I have been putting together a copy of Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore and I am trying to color the sides of the pages green. I tried using a sharpie but you can see the lines too easily. Then going over it and over it again makes it too dark. Can anyone give me a tip on what they have used to make the coloring of the pages consistent?

If you mean the fore-edge painting, it's rather simple to do. You need to clamp the printed text block (basically a book without the cover attached/bound to it) and apply some printing ink using a roller or some other tool.

Perfect! Thank you so much for the tip.

I used a crayola water color paint set intended for children. It was cheap and looks pretty good. Plus its all I had on hand at the time.

I don’t know much about graphic design, but kinda stumbled onto a way to do image scaling due to a project I’m working on. I would suggest downloading Gimp, a free alternative to Photoshop. Scaling by set measurements is just one ability it has.

Wow! These bottles are beautiful! How did you make those Pumpkin lids? These look incredible!

Does anyone have a printable and foldable version of the Skiving Snackbox individual boxes that are sold at the wizarding world? The Fainting Fancies, Nosebleed Nougats, Puking Pastilles, and Fever Fudge? I'd be looking for boxes that were taken apart and photocopied in the highest quality possible.

Boxes are a simple cardboard structure. What you are needing are the labels. Had no idea they were selling those there though.

I could do it with the labels, as you suggested. However, I would prefer to have the full box ready in a connected, cut-and-fold format. Here is an image of the boxes I am looking for, as well as an image of the type of file I am looking for.

So, the boxes from the park are rather unimpressive, here are some photos of when I saw them in the park 3 years ago. I was disappointed in the quality for the price, so I didn't buy it.

I agree, I don't love their Skiving Snackbox. However, I do think the individual packages of the treats are a fun design.

 

[Monkey540]

I have picked up and scanned a number of treat boxes a couple of years ago, which I did share here, I'll see if I can find them, edit: looks like I found them in the RPF archives. Unfortunately, these are all the ones that I have purchased.

Thanks Monkey540. I had found those scans already, it seems like the Fever Fudge and Nosebleed Nougat are a less sought-after commodity. Even in my google searches for all these items, the PP and FF were purchased and photographed more often. I'll just have to hold out hope that someone has them.

You probably already know it, but the main opuses "Page to Screen" &"Film Wizardry" will be reissued in an updated format. A French fan site has just published an article where he reveals exclusively the novelties of these books (pages, contents, goodies)... And it promises! http://universharrypotter.com/news/...r-reeditions-de-page-to-screen-film-wizardry/

Does anyone know any more details about this?

The Art of Harry Potter: Graphic Design - https://www.amazon.com/Art-Harry-Po...28307101&sr=1-23&keywords=harry+potter+design

Do you think it will be new content or recycled from the Guide to the Graphic Arts Department?

 

[AZSneed]

If it is like the other books, some new and recycled. It annoys me they do that, and I still keep buying the books. The best choice, is to look at the book in person, and decide if it is worth buying.
