We knew that Harry Potter had to be about storytelling and the magic that's happening before your very eyes!

Many thanks to Jonathan Ball Publishers for sending me a review copy.

In a country where the newest theatre productions take at least three years, if at all, to make its way to our shores, we need a decent substitute to tide us over and keep the FOMO away.

Luckily for us, we now have this incredibly rich in detail book that takes us on a journey of the production, from its inception through opening night and beyond.

The narrative is generously interspersed with beautiful photographs, detailed sketches, notebook entries, and correspondence, like email excerpts and facsimiles and letters, creating a breathtaking, sometimes long-winded, story of the show that is informative and educational.

You will learn some eye-opening things, like the creation and naming of new spells; how Dementors were brought to life; how integral, and ingenious, the props and scenery are; how magic is done before your very eyes!
