More Information: A magic potion, a gloomy lake’s trek to a magical castle, and a high-flying death-defying game played upon broomsticks, become the imagery within the renown Harry Potter book series. Undoubtedly, the J.K. Rowlings-inspired novels are cemented within literary history. To this day, they remain the most popularly-read books in publishing. Classic as these novels are, so is the artwork which visually tells of Harry’s experiences while attending Hogwarts School of Wizardry. Taken from Rowlings’ first in the series, “Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone,” Clampett Studio Collections, in celebration of Harry and his adventures, offers the “The Visual World of Harry Potter.” Designed and drawn by Warner Bros. Artist Fred Bode, this portfolio set artistically transforms Harry’s magical world into exquisite pencil drawings. After working closely with J.K. Rowling and the producers of the first Harry Potter film, Mr. Bode completed this collection, which remains significant as it represents the first drawn compilation of Harry’s world. This portfolio is limited to a very small edition of 250, and includes six drawings by Mr. Bode. Each drawing derives from an original pencil sketch, and is reproduced in the Giclee printing method. A meticulous inspection ensures that all attributes of the originals translate in the printing. Additionally, the drawings have been hand-marked with matching edition numbers. Included in the portfolio is a handsomely-printed tirage sheet, listing the titles of Mr. Bode’s six images. Additionally, each image, as well as the tirage sheet is signed by Mr. Bode. Lastly, a certificate of authenticity is included in the portfolio, which signifies its number within the edition. Completing “The Visual World of Harry Potter,” is a leather-bound ribbon-tie portfolio folder, with a gold-embossed Harry Potter title. Particular care had been paid to the title’s lettering and of course, Harry’s signature lightening bolt. In and of itself, the Harry Potter series will be forever remembered as a classic tale on par with other great epics. As the novels already have within literary world, “The Visual World of Harry Potter” is destined as one of the most cherished items in the collectible world. |
