@Ghost - Thanks for linking to the other thread I hadn't even thought about that
@Luke - All the book covers we have been making are textured. All you have to do is print them out onto paper and glue them to an old book you have laying around. If you don't have any laying around, stop by your local Goodwill store. They have hardbacks for about $2 a piece, and it goes to a good cause. Two birds, one stone. Are you just getting the Harry Potter box, or did you get all three? If you could, scan anything thats flat and photograph anything else. Can make a lot more stuff with some nice images! Mine wont be here til April they keep getting pushed back. Originally, it was January ><

Hi all, I've just recently joined and am really blown away by your work on here! I was thinking I'd like to do some Harry Potter stuff, but it looks like most things are covered - and better than I could do them. I might make Luna's list because I can do that myself with a pen instead of a print-out, that would be cool to put on my fridge!

Luna's list is already done. Check out that post, theres more on it than just the textbooks that are shown here.

That tutorial looks familiar! :cool
I might have to revisit this method to make a more SA one. My theory behind the books in the tutorial was that they were older editions to the ones on screen. I'll have to see if I can find any more old encyclopedias in the rubbish!

Would you mind putting up your spine and back of the book 'Hogwarts a History' ? That would be awsome!
I will look tonight and see if I have them.
Just photoshop to size.
Try this again..

I just got a notice from noble today saying my boxes that were supposed to ship two weeks ago wont actually come until the beginning of april.
@Hinkypunk
You should read norbert's message too. If it's not too much work, could you release the book covers w/out textured backing? That way I could print JUST the content of the cover on a book that actually has that texture?
I also have tentative plans to go back to WWoHP this summer, I have a 200mm lens, would it be helpful if I could get some good close up shots of books, hog's head drink labels, and potions stuff? I'd be happy to if it could be of use!

The same way anyone prints directly on a book, I know a book printer who said he would do it for me for not too much money. Still can't thank you enough for all the awesomeness you've created!!!
OK all, started making some of the books. These are printed with 8.5 x 11 paper, the green book was the largest at just over 10 inches tall, but I was able to do it by printing three pieces. First the spines, alowing about .5 inch wrap on to the sides - glued that on first, then printed the sides, and gled them all. I used canvas type paper to give it some texture. They are nice place holders until I am wealthy and can afford the tooling to do the foil embossed replicas. Enjoy!
